AC3 51 Posted December 29, 2016 I keep hearing about GENEPRO. Has anyone used it? I'm now gagging and having that feeling of throwing up with my Protein Shakes, which I could tolerate before and I now need to get Protein in. Another thing. Anyone had any calcium citrate chews that don't taste like chalk? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mylighthouse 782 Posted December 29, 2016 I have been using powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein powder and I like it a lot. However, I have been seeing a lot of good things about GENEPRO and I just put in an order for it. I actually saved money with it, as GENEPRO has more Protein in it per serving than Unjury does. I can't wait to try the Genepro. Also, I take the Bariatric Advantage calcium chews (chocolate), and I think they taste good and not chalky at all. When I went to my class pre-surgery, they gave out samples of Vitamins, and I actually liked the Bariatric Advantage chew in caramel the best. I would have bought that one, but my pharmacy was sold out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

areadyloser 31 Posted December 29, 2016 I recently converted to GENEPRO from premier Protein for this exact reason. Could not stomach another shake. I have put the unflavored GENEPRO in my crystal lite and it completely dissolved and I cannot taste it. It has made me getting my Protein in sooo much easier. When mixing it I have read to be careful with hot temperatures and if cooler temperatures let it set and return to mix in.

BigViffer 3,544 Posted December 29, 2016 Many say it is a lifesaver, others say it is crap. I'm in the "it's crap" camp. Talk to your surgeon is the best advice I can give. But if you really want to know what some strangers on the internet have to say about it: http://www.bariatricpal.com/index.php?app=core&module=search§ion=search&do=search&fromsearch=1 There are 37 recent topics about it. It's a dead horse that has been beaten ad nauseam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theantichick 2,204 Posted December 29, 2016 It'll be interesting to see how the suit comes out. I couldn't watch the whole video, but found the following link with the info: http://www.law360.com/articles/865678/protein-powder-maker-accuses-rival-of-false-advertising The suit is brought by the makers of Syntrax alleging false advertising that is hurting their business. It goes to the heart of the technology claims by MuscleGen, and will be interesting to see if the evidence is sealed or left open to public inquiry. The suit is SI03 Inc. v. MuscleGen Research Inc. et al., suit number 1:16-cv-00274, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri. SI03 brings claims for false advertising under the Lanham Act, as well as Missouri common-law claims for unfair competition and unjust enrichment. The company seeks an injunction barring MuscleGen from misleading advertising and an order requiring it to correct any false impressions consumers might have about GENEPRO, as well as trebled damages and profits, attorneys’ fees, and pre- and post-judgment interest. Of course, it'll potentially take years to wind its way through the court system, and will likely even settle out of court. But it'll be interesting. I've already looked at the raw data from the clinical trial MuscleGen cites, and though I see flaws in the construction of the study, I came to the conclusion that GENEPRO is likely at least as good as any other Protein powder and since it dissolves better than the others I've tried, I use it. I don't know if I'm getting as much Protein as they claim, but the Protein Powder you use is better than the Protein Powder that sits in the tub because it clumps or changes the texture of the food unacceptably.

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I have not started my Calcium citrates yet. I was told by the doctor to wait until I was in the pureed stage, and I am still fully in liquids. But I bought the Bariatric Advantage ones, cherry flavor! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
