TEXASLADY52

As of this Friday I am officially retired. I love to China Paint but because of my busy schedule I have not been able to do so for a long time. Looking forward to get to paint once again. I am still fighting the urge of food for comfort. I sit behind a desk all day and cannot get up unless someone relieves me...now that I can move around and not be stuck behind a desk...I am hoping to conquer my battle with food.< /p>

I only drink the Lemonade one......rest are to sweet. I drink it every day with GENEPRO to get all of my Protein in. I have been drinking it for the last year and have not had a problem

I always say "not near enough.....got more to go....but I'm working on it...Thank you for noticing"! That is usually end of conversation but if they keep pushing for amount....I just say I won't know until I weigh at the doctor....or I haven't been to the doctor lately.

Before surgery on my liquid diet I mainly used Atkins. After surgery my taste changed and I could not stand any Protein drink...so I went with a unflavored Protein Powder. When I first tried Premier I could not get them down. I now love them and use them all the time.

They are Nastey! Tried to gulp them down......no way

I wouldn't tell anyone if I had it to do over. One girl at my office found out and she told "EVERYONE".....even the mailman!!! I am older, no thyroid, and bad knees...I have lost real slow. I have failed at every other diet that I have been on. It may be just me....but I feel people are very judgemental and I feel they look at me and wonder why I haven't lost more and "if" I will lose it.

You can make rice out of Cauliflower and you can get a spiral cutter and make you noodles out of zucchini. Rather tastie...you can also get spaghetti squash.......all healthy.

Thanks for posting this! I am 8 days post op and have really been struggling with Protein. The shakes I drank pre op make me gag and I can't seem to stomach any of it. Read about this after seeing this post and ordered some. Will be here Thursday - hoping it solves my Protein problems!

Hoping this works for you....remember you can add this to anything. Add it to your eggs, yogurt...etc. If you add it to hot...mix it with something first...it does better.

Where did you get that mini elliptical? I have a full size one and really like it, but it takes up so darn much room!

I bought mine from Amazon

My knees are worn out. I want to lose at least 50 more lbs before I look into a replacement for one. I cannot walk. I started going to a pool at the hospital and just walking in the Water. I'm going to get another shot in them this week. I had stopped going because I got worried about getting in and out of the pool...but plan on going back. I bought a elipitical that fit under my desk (I sit all day)...but it makes my knees sore also. I plan on retiring in two months and I am hoping to be able to work out more at the pool then.

I usually just eat a half at a time. I like it with a cup of Decaf coffee in the mornings. Put it in a ziploc snack bag for later.

I have used it for over a year now. After my surgery I had a hard time tolerating any Protein drinks....could not stand Premier (I like them now). GENEPRO is still my go to for extra protein.I have been able to keep my Protein up...between keeping the protein up and Vitamins....I did not lose any hair...in fact my hair is thick like it was when I was young and I have curls...never had curls before. I have lost my hair with other surgeries in the past. I drink mine with Crystal Light.....I get in my protein and liquids at the same time. All of my blood work is good.

Please show the Nutrition label

You will learn real quick what you can and cannot eat. bread, Pasta and rice weight real heavy on my stomach and just will not stay down. I cannot even pinch off a piece of tortilla....it seems to get stuck....which is all good since I don't need any of this. Lots of meats are still hard on my stomach. I have to have lots of moisture to eat meat. I always say that I can tell as soon as it goes in my mouth if it is not going to go down.

I have one! I am easily sold on anything!!! I can't say I have really used it? I prefer bottled Water (16.9 oz.) over Sonic ice (soft crushed). I really keep up with how many bottled waters I drink in the day. I am fortunate enough to have a refrigerator in my office.....so I always have a stock of Water. I know I'm polluting the landfills with them.....which is funny because I am a stickler about no plastic bags for me because of pollution.....but I have to have my bottled water.

Are you getting all of your liquids in? I have found that when I become laxed in getting 64 oz of Water in...I either stall or gain. Besure you are getting all of your liquid in and if possible more.

My insurance would not pay......they have a CAP on anything concerning Bariatrics. I have received a lot of free samples. I contact the company directly and ask if they will send samples for me to try. Some have been completely free for me in turn to write a review. Some want you to pay the shipping. It is a great way to test the product without investing a lot of money.....you never know if you do not ask???

I could not handle any of the Protein drinks either at first. I now can drink Premier and I like it. GENEPRO is still my favorite. I have used it for nearly a year....all my lab is good and I did not lose any hair since I kept my Protein levels high.

Is it the same surgeon? As long as you have fully checked out your surgeon and you feel confident in him that is what is important. You can check and see how many surgeries he has done, how many complications and how many fatalities.

Put you some popcorn seeds in a small brown paper sack and pop it in the microwave. Easy clean up! My NUT said no popcorn....I didn't ask if forever? She said it lays in your stomach for days and maybe weeks....hard on your digestive system

Buy you some baby spoons. It makes you take smaller bites and more aware of what you are eating.

I still have problems with bread. Tortillas get stick no matter how small of bite I take. I can eat bread if it is dry toast. I have to eat meat with some type of suce. They are all too dry if I don't have a sauce covering it or to dip it in.

I am probably an exception but I can no longer eat spicey foods. I can't even tolerate very much black pepper. I can take a couple of bites and it goes to burning my stomach and then my stomach starts all of it's foaming and everything comes up...TMI!! Then my stomach is irritated for several days and I cannot eat anything. I was always a big spicey eater before the surgery.....I cannot even tolerate barbeque sauce with the least amount of punch to it.

@@SeahawksFan - thanks I am looking for an unflavored Protein and that sounds like what I am looking for.....

You will love it!! It mixes well and you don't have all those nasty yucky clumps...no running through a blender. As stated if you are going to heat it...ist is better to mix before heated. You can sprinkle it dry on salads or anything!! I buy mine from Amazon....I'm not a Prime member....but I usually get it in a few days....no freight charge.

I have been using it for aproximately 10 months. I have read all the negatives but I can tell you I love it and it works for me. A gentleman that worked for the company contacted me after reading I was having a hard time getting my Protein in after surgery. Stated his mother inlaw used it after her surgery....he even sent me some samples. With GENEPRO I have been able to keep my Protein level up to the 120 that I need with a DS. I still have a real hard time with most meats. Since I have been able to keep my protein up and have kept up with my Vitamins I have not lost any of my hair (I was expecting to since I did lose all of my hair with a previous surgery). My hair is back thick like it was when I was young and it is curly and I have never had curly hair!!! Just stating this has worked for me I have no complaints.....I count it as 30gm of protein....I mix it with Crystal Light Lemonade and keep it on my desk and sip on it all day....If I'm a little short at the end of the day....I mix another one and take it to bed with me and sip on it all night.....I get Water in at the same time.
