Question:
Has anyone used GeniSoy Ultra XT soy protein?

I will see my doctor for my consult on July 21. I went to GNC to check products out. I find GeniSoy Ultra XT soy protein. It has Fat 0g, Total Carbs. 0g, Sugars 0g, Dietary Fiber 5g, and Protein 25g. How does this rate when it comes to Soy Protein? Thanks for your help?    — Shirley H. (posted on June 28, 2003)

It sounds great and if you are doing any kind of presurgery weight loss, try it out--HOWEVER--your tastes may change after surgery, and it seems to be that postops profit more from WHEY protein over soy because the whey is absorbed better by our altered digestive systems. Not to mention that many liquid soy proteins are also very thick and "chalky". Thick shakes are great prior to surgery...but after, the new pouch may have problems with them, especially if you can't fit that mega-thick soy shake in there several times a day. Personally? I love soy and it has so many beneficial qualities I will always use it, but prefer to ingest it in other foods such as soy cheese, soy "coffee", soy milk, or Gardenburger products! I even use soy milk to mix up my whey protein powder (LOL!) Best of luck to you....peace--terry
