My personal problem with GENEPRO is that their nutrition label does not "add up". There is 4 calories in 1 gram of Protein. 1 scoop has 30 grams of protein...there should, at a minimum, be 120 calories in 1 scoop...but 1 scoop only contains 98 calories....which means that the Protein in GENEPRO is somehow being manufactured in a manner that is not natural...on the flip side...all max protein is manufactured in Canada (a country that is very stringent in the supplement market with nutritional information) and their protein has 28 grams per scoop with 115 total calories (112 for pure protein and 3 grams of "fillers)....you simply do not know what u are getting in genepro

I hated eating for several months post op. It was a necessary chore to get my nutrients in for MFP.
A nice change from the overeating pre-op, right?
This is when you make those bites count. Good, flavorful, food. I swear, I appreciate food so much more now. Six years and I have no taste for junk. It's crap to my taste buds. Just a few bites of something wonderful and I'm happy. If nothing else, consider this the groundwork to healthy habits later.
It'll pass, I promise. Congrats on your surgery.

Anyone ever have a day where you just don't feel like eating because it's so much work. For me to get enough Protein I'm eating two ounces every two hours or so. By the time I wait the hour after eating, then spend the next hour drinking before starting the cycle over again. It's a lot of work and that doesn't count meal prep time. I'm only 5 weeks post op so not hungry at all. Some days the effort to eat seems like so much work.

Oh my gosh, I'm a Nurse and would not dream of going back at 1-2 weeks! I'm always moving patients and have to wear a lead vest and apron most of the day. I will be off for 6 weeks. Please take care of yourself first! As nurses we always take care of everyone else it's your time now.

Yes it would. The stress of your surgery and other stress could elevate it.
