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’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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
