SIPS / SADI-S LOOP DS SUPPORT



Recommended Posts

Thank you for the information Peggy , very informative .

I'm still

Scared about the fact that it Involves re-routing intestines . And here in Melbourne Australia , the SADI/SIPS is not common at all .

There is a site where a bariatric lawyer argues that the SADI can be no where nearly compared to the DS.

Information is so widely available but it has overwhelmed me to be honest. And I gave up and decided to go with the sleeve .

I had people overseas even telling me that they'll have another sleeve if they were to gain weight again but would never involve the intestines . I'm so glad to hear that you and Losili are happy with it .

I actually liked the SADI when I researched it but people scared me out of it . I'm

Still unsure as I have my surgery booked for July 29

Hi. I had the SIPS on 12/3/13. I went from 268 to 110/115. I love the surgery. No complaints if you have any questions please feel free to ask.

I sent a message but I'm not sure if it posted. I eat SF slice of cheesecake with no crust and when I have a craving I will eat one/two SF Cookies. My suggestion is place yourself in therapy before and after surgery. This has helped me tremendously.

Sweetmel17...I am already seeking therapy now, that's a great reassurance that I'm on the right path. Your regimen is quite strict, but it makes sense. This might be TMI but do you get bright oil spills when you use the toilet? I get them every now and then and usually after eating something that has fat in it.

I get oil spills if i something extremely high in fat. I know if I don't get enough

Fat bc i will be constipated. I rather have oil spills instead of Constipation. How far are you post op. I realize that when I go to the foods that I don't eat it is bc I am off emotionally. So I know to stay far away from the foods high in carbs. So far this has worked very well for me. Even when I am upset my first reaction was to stuff my face with foods high in carbs or sugar. Now I will walk or exercise when I am upset. I'm glad your seeking therapy bc it will help you with looking in the mirror . I am almost 2.5 yrs post op and I still don't recognize myself. Even at times I have to post pics on FB or look at the pics bc I have to remind myself from where I came from to now.

Yes. I agree with you. I am only 1 month and 2 weeks post-op. So a very newbie lol. My surgery weight was 294lbs and I am now 260lbs. I am an emotional eater and I know it. Which is why I'm seeking therapy. Cause I need to have healthy habits, and break old ones. I'm doing good diet wise but every now and then when I'm making food for my kids it gets hard. If you don't mind me asking ...what is like your daily diet like? Breakfast, lunch, dinner, Snacks etc...and how much are you eating? I'm still in puree stage and will move to soft foods next week. It's a challenge to get all my Protein shakes in and Water too. I'm eating at most 2 meals a day ( one food item each meal at 4-5oz). And then I just pick here and there off my kids plate which probably isn't good. But I'm learning.

Hi. I'm sorry for the delay in responding! I still have difficulty getting 90 grams of Protein in but I aim for 60. There are days Im good with getting Protein in and there are days I hardly have any appetite. On the days I dont have a appetite I buy Quest protein chips. For Breakfast I try to eat eggs , egg salad, lunch I try to have chili with no Beans or fresh roast beef roll ups. It depends on what I'm in the mood to eat. There are times I love hamburgers, steak then there are times I can care less. . I try to eat something high in protein every couple 3/4 hours.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
