Question for people who use Genepro protein powder



Recommended Posts

For people who use the Musclegen GENEPRO powder, what do you mix it with? juice? I get mine in the mail today and I want to be all set to start it tonight or in the morning. I am newly sleeved (2.5 weeks post op) and I have a volume issue. I am wondering if I can dissolve it in maybe like a 1/2 cup or cup of juice and not taste it.

Oh, and does it have a particular smell to it? I have had a bad issue with Protein drink smells lately.

I am on my fourth bag. I love it. You can add it to anything and it does not change the drink or food. I add it to coffee and I mix it with Crystal Light to get my Water and Protein in. You can smell it in the bag, but I do not detect it in what I mix it with?

@TEXASLADY52- I am so excited to try it! I have a lot of Protein issues since surgery. I know the Protein issues are normal. I am excited to see if it works for me!

I just ordered a bag from Amazon. I have heard that you can mix it with anything, so I'm ready to try it. Any feedback on your experience with it would be great.

I have some too but I'm not going to try it until I start my all liquid diet on Nov. 1st. I'm glad to hear that it really doesn't have a taste. I've tried the Premier strawberry and it was awful. I've heard the chocolate & vanilla are better but if the GENEPRO works, then I'll be set. I've also got the unflavored powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury to try.

@carolk36- I'm so glad to hear this. I am so excited to get it! When I emailed my dietician the nutrition facts and asked her what she thought, she said it was a great option. I have tried the unflavored Protein powders but those all have a horrible taste to them too. I truly hope this one will be flavorless (or close to it). There is a huge difference between something being unflavored and something being flavorless.

Is it chalky like normal Protein Powder?

I mix mine in Soups and v8 juice. I love it because you can't taste anything different.

Nope, it's not chalky either. It disappears! I've been told by my NUT to always use whey isolate and not whey concentrate because the isolate is more absorbable so I was concerned that the GENEPRO Protein didn't say either. I sent the info to my NUT and she said the peptide was just a smaller form of the isolate so I was good to go. I told my surgeon's office about it and they now add it to their list of recommended Proteins for new patients. I gave away all the other Proteins I had bought because I just couldn't stand the whey smell and taste. GENEPRO is the only one I use now.

I hope it works as well for you!

Has anyone found a place that sells samples of the GENEPRO? I would want to try a sample before buying the large bag.

I tried the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury sample of unflavoured...and I couldnt tolerate it ..I tried it in applesauce, cream of wheat and Water...and it didnt work for me.

I hope the GENEPRO is a better option.

Thanks

      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.
