Hi all
Started this process with a consult in October 2020. Just got cleared with GBP surgery scheduled March 26 - I was so happy to get scheduled so quickly after clearance. but still scared as hell, not for the surgery but the 6-12 month post op adjustment. So glad for this site. Reading as much as I can on the web to feel as prepared as possible.

Is anyone else feeling exhausted - I am guessing it’s just the pre-op diet.
Congratulations [emoji122]

Wow. Congratulations. I think that in itself would have been discouraging for me so you get lots of credit for such determination.

I am up for March 29!

My liquid diet is different than most...and I can only guess it's because it's a Canadian Bariatric Program (vs USA).

I started mine on Feb 22...I am so tired of it :S

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
