Hi, I'm in Australia too, but no I haven't had the Omega loop gastric bypass, first I've heard of it. I looked it up, I see its also know as mini gastric bypass which I have seen mentioned on the boards.

There is a whole sub forum that type of surgery here https://www.bariatricpal.com/forum/1111-mini-gastric-bypass-surgery-forum/

I hope you are recovering well! What is your post op diet routine for the next couple of weeks?

Hi, I’m an Aussie too and had a sleeve done on the 4 June.

Im on liquids til the 17th, then on to soft/mushy food for 4 weeks.

I haven’t been given any goals yet, just to drink plenty of Water and lots of Protein. I see my nutritionist next week so assume I’ll be given nutritional and calorie goals then.

I think the team wait to see how you go before they give you goals. So far I’ve been really lucky.

I had Omega loop mini gastric bypass.
6 more days of fluids. Had nausea, and stomach still quite sore, but ondansetron and buscopan are helping a little.
40g of Protein each day, filled with two opti shakes (or a shake and a soup) plus some diet cordial.
See the GP in the morning and get some pathology done before I see the surgeon and dietitian for follow up next week

Hi guys I am in desperate need of some more participants for my latest study on the psychological effects of lockdown on Bariatric patients being conducted in Australia. Pleeeeease can you do my survey if you can spare 5 mins! I would be sooo grateful - and it will be contributing to a good cause. I will publish results here too. TOTALLY ANONYMOUS AND ETHICALLY APPROVED.

      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.
