Question about the post-op period at St. Mikes hospital in Toronto....do I need to bring my own protein shakes, water, etc? I'm confused on this.  Any guidance would be appreciated.

No, really all you will be consuming is water.  Bring something to keep time - since you will be sipping 2tbsp. of water every 15min.  It doesn't sound difficult but you will be surprised how much concentration it takes.  At meal times they will bring you a full fluid tray - but meh...it's really not worth the effort. Just keep walkin, sipping, farting - they will kick you out before you know it.
