I'm so excited! I jus ate a couple tablespoons of canned salmon and it was so yummy! :) surely it won't hinder my weight loss to start doing this! I can't do shakes anymore and I am not getting more than 200 calories a day!

There are some days where I probably got little to no Protein I was so not into it, but it is what it is. Isn't it funny how something so simple tastes so good after you've been through this? :)

I feel like I'll never take chewing and swallowing delicious eats for granted EVER AGAIN!

It's true!! If you're preop, eat as many crunchy leafy greens as possible. You will miss chewing for a while :)

Thanks, Derbymama! Did the OCC nutritionist "approve" them or did you just try to get alternatives close to what they recommend?

She approved the nectar and then the GNC lady compared the 2 and said that they have been working with a WLS co ordinater in San Antonio and this is what they recommend. I do find that occ really recommends their brand, but from my understanding there isn't much of a difference

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
