You can do all liquids, Jell-O’s, Protein drinks, Cream soups, Skim milks, Fruits, Veggies, Chicken Salads, and Fish. Avoid or limit your salt intake.

Hi there - my husband has VSG with Dr. Joya in May of last year. We live in Newfoundland, Canada. We overnighted in Newark on the way down and on the way back. It is a fairly long flight as you said. Bring a small pillow on board with you - dress in REALLY comfy clothes for your flight, get up and walk every hour during the flight - even if you don't need to visit the washroom - just go in and wash your hands - just to move around. And of course make sure you stay hydrated - nothing like travelling and flying to dehydrate you. Best of luck!
