Bought a bag at the store today, they fit within the nutritional guidelines. At what stage can we have these?

Are we allowed these right after surgery on clear fluids? I don't see it in my book. These popsicles have 1 g sugar.

Just wondering why Opti Fast is prescribed, as opposed to eating a calorie-restricted, high protein, low-carb diet for the 1-3 weeks before surgery? Is there some reason we have to drink our nutrients? Like why can't I have a hard-boiled egg or a piece

I keep seeing conflicting information about whether we can absorb gel capsules post-op. I tend to choke on pills that aren't gel caps, so can we or can't we take them??

I am on a contract, so don't get vacation days or paid sick leave. I will likely only be off for two weeks (cross my fingers!), but am wondering if there's any way to get EI or something for that time?

WLS has been in the back of my mind for a couple of years, and finally decided to get a referral. My orientation is next month. My partner is 100% on board with me, but the family members who I told are not. When I first mentioned it to them, things go

Just out of curiosity, I'm wondering if anyone else is going to this?

Can anyone who had their surgery at Guelph tell me about their experiences, good or bad? I heard the staff are great and that their program is more rigid than other

Although I have attempted to lose weight in the pa

Sorry if this has been posted. Just wondering what BMI is considered lightweight.

Thanks!

After a couple of years of doing some research on bariatric surgery, I finally asked my GP for a referral. He didn't seemed to know anything about the referral process or the surgery, and referred me to some new general surgeon in another city (Simcoe)
