Hi we are having our surgery the same day, I saw Dr. Hardy in March I'm hoping to be discharged on the Saturday. I don't know about the hotel I live in Wpg.
I got the choc shakes and the vanilla.

What shakes did you get and where i looked at costco and the case is massive i dont want to get a huge case and not like themi bought flax from costco my daughter has been making fruit smoothies but there is no protien in those. have a good mothers day and good luck

Walmart has protein powder , vanilla, strawberry you can add to your smoothie, my daughter makes them also.

You 2 must be so excited! I was in the hospital for 3 days 2 nights. I went home in the evening on the 3rd day.

Welcome Newfie99999.  I am from Newfoundland as well.  I live here in MB for the past 8 years.  I had the VSG surery Feb 14.  I have lost 55+ lbs so far.  What an amazing journey.  I am very thankful for having opportunity to have the surgery.  I stayed in the hospital for 2 days.  No immediate complications post op.  Had some issues with acid refux but is now on the perfect combination of medications to keep that acid under control.  No regrets!  I feel awesome.
We have monthly meet and greets in the city.  Everyone is welcome.  You should keep reading the forum to see when the next date is.  The more the merrier.  Sharing experiences has been very good for me, we are all in the same boat afterall!
Just wanted to welcome you to our forum!

thank you everyone.i am grateful for all of your help.

For the pre-op surgery, you have to buy MediTrim products. The shakes are ok. (Most people like the vanilla, but I found it too perfumy for my taste.) The peanut bar is pretty good, but the chocolate one is terrible! I couldn't swallow one bit of it!

If you don't have any complications, you will only spend 2 nights in the hospital. If you do have complications, it could be a week. Plan to take a full month off work if you can. You need to treat yourself with kid gloves after the surgery.

Good luck!
