Huge differences between the two. The Boost high protein has 240 calories, 18 grams sugar, and 15 grams protein, where the Boost Diabetic comes in at 190 calories, 0 grams sugar, and 16 grams protein (according to MFP). So you'd be getting more protein, and less sugar and calories with the diabetic one.

Had my follow up yesterday in Moncton. Didn't think I was doing so well as I haven't lost really any weight in the last few weeks. Dr b felt I was doing really good. That made me feel good. According to their scales, I have lost 6 1/2 lbs in the past four weeks.  Dr b says if you lose a lot before surgery you slow down after because you have already lost a lot of water. I told him I lost only 13 lbs in the pre op diet. I didn't think that was a lot. He said it was and I realized, ya, 13 lbs in two weeks IS a lot!  Everything is better. I was back to the hospital a week after with stomach pains that turned out to be just irritation from the bile in my stomach. He gave me sulcrate to coat the stomach to help. I took it three times a day. Over time I realized I didn't need it anymore so now I don't take it anymore.  I am now working on fitting in all the supplements with the food and water that I need!  I priced the iron at shoppers and it was terribly overpriced. Rinette said to try Costco. Success!  They had the brand they suggest and it is only $8 for a month. That is better than $20 at shoppers. Just ask for it at the pharmacy.  

My 1st appt was in July and then an appt every month so a lot of travelling. I had to drive to Bathurst 5 times ( twice the same week so that sucked) so for  me it's 4 months after my 1st visit.  I was told by the Doctor  in September not until Feb because that is where they were at so don't get discourage my dear they always over estimate the time in case something happens.  Keep in mine the holidays are just around the corner. so that will cause a stall for a few weeks.  I'm not sure if you use facebook but there is a group page with a lot of valuable information that people are sharing from every where but it's a great place to read and get extra information. it's called "Gastric Sleeve Fall 2014 Support"

Hi there - chiming in from Newfoundland. My husband went to Dr. Joya in Peurto Vallarta in May if last year for a VSG. Excellent experience and he has done well. We self payed and it was worth every penney. I have seen posts from people here on the NB board who have gone to Dr. Christou. He has an excellent reputation and if memory serves me right - was involved in Dr. Beauoliel's training. Have not seen any postings in a long time though. Try looking at the Quebec board.  This is a link to Dr. Christou's website. Best of luck to you!  www.weightlosssurgery.ca
