    TEXASLADY52 got a reaction from cindash in Honest truth about genepro protein powder   
    I love it! I could not get my Protein in without. I have always drinked Protein shakes but after surgery I got where I could not choke them down. The chaulky taste just got to me! I tried Isopure and the after taste was more than I could handle. I have a cabinet full of different Protein wheys....cannot take them! I am on my third bag of Genepro! I drink it mixed with Crystal Light lemonade, put it in oatmeal, coffee....etc. I keep a bag in my car...so I can always mix me a drink on the go. You can call the number on the website and they will send you a sample. You can also order it from Amazon.< /p>

    TEXASLADY52 got a reaction from missruthy in Tell me your secret   
    It drove me insane at first.....I would read all the updates and see how people were dropping weight right and left and I wasn't. I got really down on myself and thought I was a failure again!! Then I stopped letting it get to me.....This is my body, my journey...yes we are all different. I may be slower ....I will just reach the finish line when I get there! Don't ever tell yourself you have lost "only" or "just" 32 pounds....put that same weight of can goods in a sack and pick it up.....then you will realize how much weight you have removed from your bones carrying around. 32 pounds is a small child!

    TEXASLADY52 got a reaction from noworries_365 in Good hydration tracker apps?   
    There is several apps......I mainly use my fitbit application. In the beginning I used an app on my phone "Water tracker" it is good and you can set up alarms to remind you. You can also purchase glasses that are marked to remind you. I bought an insulated one online that is marked so many ounces every hour.

    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>

    Bob off of Biggest Loser was on one of the Morning Talk shows.....he was asked point blank how many gained their weight back? He told them at least 90% did!!! If I had a dollar for every pound that I lost and then gained back.....I could go ahead and retire!!!!

    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.

    There is a free app for your phone that is called "Eat Slower". It is a pretty good app and it helps you to slow down and put your utensil down between each bite. My husband if a big and fast eater and over the years .... I joined right in with him. It has been real hard for me to slow down. You eat too fast or too much and your new tummy will let you know and it is not nice about it....LOL

    TEXASLADY52 got a reaction from Djmohr in Pre-pre-surgery - interested in adding protein shakes   
    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.

    TEXASLADY52 got a reaction from Madeleine Renee in To tell my coworker/friend or not...   
    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
