Hi Sylvie! 

The chocolate optifast was NOT as bad as I thought it would be... sometimes I added a 1/4 banana in there to change the flavor.  The vanilla ones weren't so good but you an add flavor if you want (I know most won't agree, but you gotta do what you gotta do right?),  

My pre-ops were done in November 2012, and I got called in January for my surgery date which was late Feb.  I hope it's soon for you... you'll keep us posted no doubt :)

I was at the RVH today and totally forgot to ask about BeneProtein.

Also, there are other options, not just BP - I will have to do more research.

I was their for 3 hours today myself

Good Luck to you

Welcome! I had my pre-op test today as well at the RVH, was there for HOURS(2 1/2) waiting. Well I guess someone had to be last,,lol my luck.

I was told by the dietitian that Beneprotein is available by prescription. I am not sure if you NEED a prescription.

Hi everyone~

I have my surgery coming up in under 2 weeks and my preop tomorrow.

I just wanted to join and hopefully have some support since I only have my daughter who's 18 and a little self-absorbed to supposedly be my back up on this but not really anyone else close to me what actually know what I'm going through.

It would be great to hear from some you.

I was wondering about the Beneprotein as I was unable to find it her in Montreal....Anyone have any ideas.  I'm a research hog so I've been researching surgeries, results and post op results for almost 2 years now.  

Wowww i'm so happy for you!!
It's nice to know thant everything is find.
How was optifast? Is it that bad?
Thank you and I wish that I will get my sleeve in a few months.
How much time before you got the call for the pre-op test with Dr. Garneau?
Thanks
