APettersen 4 Posted September 5, 2017 Hi All,My name is Amber and I'm 43 years old. I've had a really rough 3 years, with a lot of loses, weight not being one of them. I was suffering from depression, and noticed that I was gaining weight at a really steady pace (I gained almost a 100lbs). So per doctor instructions, I looked into Gastric Bypass Surgery, and with high hopes started my new journey last October. I had surgery on August 30th, I'm six days out, and healing really well. But I find myself having issues with the post-op liquids, just thinking about drinking them makes me ill. Has anyone else had this reaction? And if so, what did you do to prevail?Sent from my LG-V495 using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shedo82773 1,236 Posted September 6, 2017 I really think it is a learning curve for sure. My taste and smell changed so much. The drinks I liked (kind of LOL) Preop I hated afterwards. I only wish I had found the un-favored GENEPRO. I love it but I wouldn't tel anyone else to use it. Always check with you tam. here are some people on here that don't like it. But for myself it is the one that doesn't have a after taste BTW Welcome you wil get a ton of informatin on here. Just take what you need and leave the rest. Congratulations on starting your amazing journey. 2 OmaJ and APettersen reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OmaJ 130 Posted September 21, 2017 I'm 2 weeks out from Lapband revision with Gastric bypass surgery and I also do well with the GENEPRO. Because it's 30gm Protein per serving, I take it with a cup of crystal light in the morning & early evening. With approved low fat Greek yogurt, it meets my protein goal. Can't stand the taste of a few others that seemed tolerable prior to surgery. I found the GenePro at GNC.
