I looked around and I didn’t find an official thread for October GP surgeries. Anyway I’m scheduled for 10/5/2022 ~ Wednesday. I go for my Covid test tomorrow morning. I’m not going to lie…I’m anxious but excited. Who else is having surgery this month? Anyone on the 5th?

I just had mine on 10/4. Recovery is going well for me so far. I feel like the worst part was the gas pain right after surgery. I spend 2 nights at the hospital because I was not getting all my fluids every hour. Oh head hunger is a real thing, any tips on how to deal with that?

Thank you. Everything went well. I’m still very tired though. Hopefully the fatigue gets better once I can eat food.

Hello all,

Oct 6, 2022

22 days post op down 16 lbs. I am only eating 1 1/2 oz of cottage cheese and soft Water packed no sugar canned peaches. I can only eat half of one scrambled egg then my new stomach lets me know, that's it. It is so much easier to just do Protein Powder with unsweet vanilla almond milk and ice in the blender. The ice gives extra Fluid intake. Anyone else here who can't or doesn' feel like eating food?

      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.
