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?

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.

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?

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
