Genepro and whey intolerance/non whey protein recommendation



Recommended Posts

I had some mild diarrhea and GI distress in my pre-op diet including whey Protein, but street surgery the whey protein and whey protein isolate absolutely killed me; super painful diarrhea. I started using plant based and I feel much better.
My questions are, one, can anyone recommend a whey alternative that isn’t gross? Two, is there anyone who can tolerate GENEPRO but not other whey protein? I’ve heard so many people rave about the Genepro in terms of taste, digestion and how readily it dissolves but I don’t want to buy it if it’s just going to make me sick!

Any interest in collagen Protein?

I agree with this. I could tolerate whey Protein and the Protein Shakes pre-op, but I find them disgusting now. collagen peptides are the only thing that saved me. There is a very slight taste, but I've mixed it into a lot of things and I don't even notice it.
Now, I don't eat beef, and the collagen is made with bovine hide, but I just accepted it as a necessary, but temporary, evil until I can get all my protein from food. I'm just mentioning it in case bovine hide would be something you don't want in your food.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
