@magpie26 it’s a sleeve but also rerouting of the intestines to bypass the upper intestines completely so basically where the nutrients and fats are absorbed. I eat pretty plain too i felt like but it is true that i should stop the bars and shakes because they don’t bring anything to me other than “protein”...

Definitely helps a lot!!! Great information!! ❤️

Weird... i phone app doesn’t have reply or when i use your name it doesn’t tag you! Anyways... thanks for the reply! Really appreciate it!! I’ll try to incorporate lower caloric foods that way I can still eat as much but with fewer calories! Time for a new meal plan!!

Stupid question but how do i rely directly to you?! I can’t seem to figure it out in my app lol Also, most days i am 1400-1600... not gaining but not losing either AND i am seriously like starving all the time. I’m afraid if i cut down with the amount of exercise I do that I will be malnourished and weak and starving even more than i am not. Arghhh so frustrating! But i’ll definitely try!!! Maybe i can still eat but eat like veggies instead since they are low calories!

@magpie I do workout and I do still take a PPI everyday because I have awful GERD since surgery. I have vets who told me to eat between 3000-4000 calories per day because we malabsorb close to half of those calories with the DS but i have the loop-DS so i’m super torn! I have no baseline and it’s such a new surgery not even the surgeons can help me! Lol I drink lots of water but I do have a hard time with that on some days for sure!!

I have had the loop-ds/said-s over a year and a half ago... I had serious diarrhea for the first year post op... it has now considerably slowed down but it still happens a few times per week, especially I noticed if my carb count is higher than 15% of my overall consumption in my fitness pal for the day. Carbs really are the devil for me!! They make me extremely bloated and gassy as well!

Won’t let me say i’m from Canada! Can’t update my profile at all!

FluffyChix I did but it kees saying error everytime i try! Must be a glitch! I will keep trying but in the meantime, my day looks about like this: Breakfast1: coffee with cream and Premier Protein shake. Breakfast2: 2-3eggs with cheese Lunch1: usually chicken kr beef with veggies. Sometimes shrimps or fish. Lunch2: veggie soup with protein powder or leftover lunch 1. Snack: Atkins low carb protein bar or peanuts/cashews Dinner: same as lunch, a bit more veggies usually eat it in 2 parts about a cup at a time. Snack: 2 greek yogourts Sometimes i am still hungry and i’ll have a piece of cheese or another yogourt before bed!

I got my SADI-S on January 11, 2017 and I have been in a weightloss stall for the past 8months. I am honestly at a total loss for ideas! I make aure to eat over 100g or protein per day, eat lots of healthy fats and very little carbs such as is recommended for my surgery but i am CONSTANTLY STARVING!! I eat between 1400-2200 calories per day, sometimes even more on especially hungry days! I am open to suggestions, constructive criticism... i just need to lose these last 50lbs so i can get my plastic surgeries!! Maybe i’m not eating enough???
