I was given a little pouch of Pocket Protein by my Nutritionist the other day. It's only 15 mg of Protein. I tried it straight out of the pack and it was ok. Kind of tasted like liquid Jell-o to me. It was too sweet for me though, so I put it in my Water like I would my crystal light and it was much better. it has to be super cold though.

Has anyone else tried Pocket Protein? If so, How did you like it?

I looked it up when I saw your question. It looks expensive to me. Check into GENEPRO.....30 grams of Protein in a tablespoon. It is oderless and tasteless. I also mix it in my Crystal Light Lemonade (don't like sweet drinks). You can mix it with hot or cold..... they send you little packets so you can carry it with you.

I never heard of this so I googled. It appears to be a new brand on the market. Apparently there is a mens version that has 20gms of protein. However the consistency sounds similar to the Prosource no carb. The Prosource worked best for me when I thinned it out or got the unflavored and added it to Soups.

Thanks for sharing. I am going to try GENEPRO. I've been using powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury but I can still taste it and it's not as much Protein and seems to be more expensive. Love Amazon Prime as it should be here in 2 days.

I am totally not a scientific type person, so can someone use small words to explain to me how GENEPRO works? How is it possible to get 30 grams of Protein from a tablespoon, when a tablespoon only contains 15 grams?

Well since I just ordered the product I hope the following explanation is correct...lol Often times the difference is volume vs weight example in medications you can have 3 grams of medication dissolved in 15 ml of Fluid or contained in a small pill. Also remember that things weigh different so weight will not always be consistent with volume. A pound of feathers vs a pound of mercury same as a table spoon of sugar vs a tablespoon of gold. I might be completely wrong but that's what I am wishing is correct.

I am currently on my fifth bag of GENEPRO. I had my bloodwork in October and I am right on target. After my surgery I got where I could not drink any other Protein drinks. They were just too chalky and I would gag on them. I tried several kinds.....ISOPURE left a terrible metal taste in my mouth..... whey shots were just horrible....could not stand Premier....etc. This is been the best for me! It might not be for everyone, but it is for me. I make a big tumbler (Bubba Jug) every morning with Crystal Light and keep it on my desk and sip on it. After lunch I usually make another big tumbler full. I get my Protein in and my Water at the same time. If I put it in my coffee....I mix it with the creamer....zap it in the microwave and then add the coffee....it mixes better and I like my coffee hot. I have mixed it in yogart, pudding, sprinkled on food.....etc.

I didn't know how much it was. I'm guessing my NUT doesn't know either since she got it for free. But everybody had great thing to say about GENEPRO so maybe I'll try that one. She recommended Unjury but I've not heard good things about the taste.

      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.
