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
