This is a one egg omelette with 1/2 scoop of GENEPRO mixed in, a few slices of cooked yellow squash, and skim milk mozzarella cheese. (it kind of fell apart because I added too much water). It was good and I ate about 3/4 of it. It is 21g of Protein and 166 calories, so a pretty good bang for my buck.

I feel like I'm retaining some Water, probably too much salt, so I'm going to concentrate on getting my water in the rest of the day.

Do you mix the GENEPRO with water first to dissolve it ? Or just put it in the liquid egg?

I whisked it in with the egg and water. Seemed to work okay.

Tonight's dinner. So yummy. Eating a cracker slow is comical. Lol these crackers are amazing and so much less dense than saltines or any other one IMG_20200228_181744.jpg IMG_20200228_181755.jpg IMG_20200228_181740.jpg

How many oz is every eating at one time? I can barely get in 1.5oz? salad I can get in about 2? But feel too full after the salad starts to break down?
Breakfast pic! Squash, onion, bell pepper egg white and sprinkle of cheese
And of course the dogs that would rather eat this 1.5 than me. Lol
Also I am only eating 3 meals a day? No Snacks and no Protein Drink or added calories from fluids only Water with a slice of lemon. Hot lemon water in the morning.

I can get down about 2 1/2 to 3 ounces. I need to stop at that point otherwise I could get foamies or pain at top of stomach. Finding soft Foods are better to go down. Tried homemade pizza tonight. Was able to eat 3 small bites of it. Went down ok, no issues. Got full from it fast.

I measure out between 3-4 oz depending on what the food is, and I usually get it down, but it takes me 30minutes to an hour to get it all down, and sometimes it's a struggle. I'm still doing a shake everyday, because I cannot hit my Protein goals on food alone.

This is one egg , 1/2 GENEPRO Protein Powder, a handful of baby spinach, and a tbsp mozzarella cheese. The Protein powder really fluffs up the egg. 148 calories and 25 g of protein. I ate it all except for a few bites.

Looks awesome! I am having an issue with eggs because I can't eat them before they get cold and a cold egg literally makes me gag haha

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
