I had my prelim meeting with surgeon, will be having VSG with Dr O. Court at the Royal Victoria Hospital.  Does anyone have any experiences to share on him or the choice of the Royal Vic?  only found one review of him (was positive)

Topic: Surgery tomorrow!
I'm at the hotel in burlington (vermont). Flight is At 5am into newark, and from there San Diego...having surgery that same day. I chose to go the self pay route (because the 3 year waiting list is ridiculous )and i'm getting my sleeve in Tijuana. Flight home is 31 st though, My layover is in chicago and that might be ok, but it's seeming likely that we may get the return flight to Burlingon cancelled, may have to break down and drive chicago to burlington, so wish me luck!

Hi Lindsay,

Congratulations for your success so far! And yes, eat slow, chew well, take your time! Right about now, eating is your full time job and if it feels like that's all you're doing all day... well, that's normal :-)

I went back into my SparksPeople records and compiled a list of meals and snacks I was having at one-week out of surgery, which I've pasted below. Keep in mind that both food choices and quantities are totally based on my preferences and on what I was able to stomach back then; yours might (will be different). And like Ada said, broth is your friend at this point, use it as much as you can. I also seem to remember that I was using Greek yogurt as much as possible to up the protein - the third week, I'd made a veal chili and I clearly remember eating it with Greek yogurt - it also helped to make it go down easier (I should make some, that was some delicious stuff ;-)

If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask!

Cheers and keep up the good work!

Monica
