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?

Hello and Welcome.

Just wanted to wish you well for your surgery! Let us know how you get on.

I just had mine on the 10th. How is your recovery going?

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?

Mine is tomorrow. How is your recovery going?

Recovery is going well so far! I am still on the liquid diet and very excited to add more food to my diet.

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

Shouldn't be too long before you are feeling more like your usual self.

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?

Hi friends! I had my surgery last Monday! Completing a week tomorrow. What is everyone's diets like? Anyone else having cravings seeing the rest of their family eat regular dinners?
