Because I am a VSG and went throught Guelph for the RNY instructions I thought I'd give a call to the nutritionis to see if there were a seperate set of protocol and ya there was.. I no longer have to be on clear fluids for the two weeks and can just go into my second week onto the full fluids.. now this eases my concern about not getting enough protein in cuz greek yogurt here I come!!

that's helpful. At HRRH, we were on full fluids after leaving the hospital, in fact, had to demonstrate that we could tolerate FF in the hospital.mmmmm yogurt.. wait till you have an egg! lol

I remember that.  I had to show I could do a full day's diet.  Cream of wheat for breakfast, protein puddings for snack and cream soups for lunch and dinner.

What's a protein pudding, is it just pudding with protein powder added?

That's great to know! I go to get my sleeve next Wednesday in Guelph, and I'm glad to hear there is some things that are different for VGSers.
Hope you're doing well and your surgery went great!

Your doc may tell you to just follow the same RNY guidelines as my doc did, but after a week I phone the nutritionist and asked her.. she said they are trying to revamp some things and make some seperate instructions for the 'sleevers'
