SIPS / SADI-S LOOP DS SUPPORT



Recommended Posts

I'm only a month and 2 weeks but I feel like I should get results fast. Or I should look thinner. I know it won't happen over night, but I can't wait til the day I reach goal weight. <150lbs.>.

It sounds like you are very meticulous in what you eat. I just might have to jump on that band wagon. ????????????

Thank you! I never knew i can get this thin until surgery. The thinnest i remember remember being was 140 but i never thought i would go from a size 22/24 to 00/0. I know i needed something more than the sleeve bc i have lost weight many times before but could never keep it off. I choose the SADI bc i refused to have another surgery. My surgeon suggested the SADI bc i wasn't a severe diabetic so he felt it would've been fine. Originally, i was going to go with the DS but my surgeon didn't recommend it and i listened to him. I would recommend going to therapy bc trust me as the weight starts to fall off it will trigger other stuff along with looking in the mirror and not recognizing who you are. I am over two years post op and continue i continue to look/post pics bc I it is my reminder of where i was to now. What i realize is when I stop posting pics it is so easy to fall back in to old bad habits along with eating carbs.

Well done ! What a great success story sweeetmel. I commend you on your efforts .

It really is easy to fall back to the old eating habits . But I'm sure the SADI will help you maintain it even if you fall off the wagon once in a while.

If we had such strong willpower forever to stay away from delicious food, we wouldn't be considering weight loss surgery I suppose .

Those habits tended to come back after my third year of dieting struggles in which I lost 35 kg several times and put it all back on in the future .

But I'm so tired of starving when eating healthy. I need this tool but I don't know what the future outcome of this would be either - considering it is a major surgery and your organs are butchered yet we slip into old habits so easily :(

Yes, I agree with going to old habits. As quickly as I could over eat and eat foods high in carbs I can also not eat. I realized going to therapy has helped me tremendously. At this point im not gaining or loosing. I am maintaining which is a good thing. However, I also know to stay clear of foods high in carbs.

What is wrong with me???? I go to the store and buy groceries and get things I am allowed to eat then buy too much and it goes bad and I have to throw it away. I was told I could have sugar free fudge pops and bought a box and only ate one. Same thing with sugar free Jello and so on. Just because I can have it, I buy it then don't eat it. I wanted avocados and bought 2 very large ones and by the time I decided to eat one they went bad. I hate to waste food. This is why I am the size I am so then why do I feel the need to over buy food. When I cook I do the same thing I tend to over cook the amount and my husband and I can't even eat it all. I know that my stomach is smaller and can only have a small amount but my mind has not accepted this yet. I then have regret for over buying and cooking. Crazy!!

I'm the same way. My husband and I are in the very early stages of sleeving but I've always loved to cook. That's my way of nurturing. I think I'm going to cook normal and just get some of those little tin foil pans at the $1 store. You can freeze it or have the kids run it to the elderly neighbors.

I have learned to go to the supermarket with a list and nor over do it. I did this especially 6-8post op and I wasted so much money on food. I cook in the crock pot and KI freeze the containers bc I had to come to terms that I am not the same person I used to bewhen it comes to food. I shop every three-four weeks now bc I wasted money. I don't cook often bc iprefer the crock pot and cook in bulk. I used to always cook but I really don't like food theway I used to and lost interest in cooking. I get Overwhelmed when my fridge is packed .LOL!

Hello group! I had the SIPS procedure on 2/15/16 here in MN and i was the first person in my state to get it! I've had no complications (knock on wood). My start weight was 284lbs and as of this morning I weigh 198lbs! The best decision of my life. This surgery like any does come with a few draw backs.. Like you really need to be mindful of your fat intake or its greasy farts and toilet world for you.. Lol.. Oh and stay hydrated!!

Great weight loss! Do you know how long your common Chanel is? I'm not sure if 250cm was standard or not

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

      3. NickelChip

        I think it's important to remember that the weight charts and BMI ranges were developed a very long time ago and only intended to be applied to people who have never been overweight or obese. Those numbers aren't for us. When you are larger, especially for a long time, your body develops extra bone to support the weight. Your organs get a little bigger to handle the extra mass. Your entire infrastructure increases so you can support and function with the extra weight. That doesn't all go away just because you burn off the excess fat. If you still had a pair of jeans from your skinniest point in life and then lost weight to get to the exact number on the scale you were when those jeans fit you, chances are they would be a little baggy now because you would actually be thinner than you were, even though the scale and the BMI chart disagree. When in doubt, listen to the jeans, not the scale!

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.

      Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I'm getting a into a routine for my meals. Every day, I start out with 8-16 ounces of water, and then a proffee, which I have come to look forward to even the night before. My proffees are simply a black coffee with a protein powder added. There are three products that I cycle through: Premier Vanilla, Orgain Vanilla, and Dymatize Vanilla.
      For second breakfast on workdays, I will have a low-fat yogurt with two tablespoons of PBFit and two teaspoons of no sugar added dried cherries. I will have ingested 35-45 grams of protein at this point between the two breakfasts, with 250-285 calories, and about 20 carbs.
      For second breakfast on non-workdays, I will prepare two servings of plain, instant oatmeal with a tablespoon of an olive oil-based spread. This means I will have had 34 grams of protein, 365 calories, and 38 carbs. Non-workdays are when I am being very active with training sessions, so I allow myself more carbohydrate fuel.
      Snacks on any day are always mixed nuts, even when I am travelling. I will have 0.2 cups of a blend that I make myself. It consists of dry roasted peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and Brazil nuts. This is 5 grams of protein, 163 calories, and 7 carbs.
      Breakfast and snacks have been the easiest to nail down. Lunch and dinner have more variables, and I prepare enough for leftovers. I concentrate on protein first, and then add vegetables. Typically tempeh, tofu, or Field Roast products with roasted or sautéed vegetables. Today, I will be eating leftovers from last night. Two ounces of tempeh with four ounces of roasted vegetables that consist of red and yellow sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, small purple potatoes, zucchini, and carrots. I will add a tablespoon of olive oil-based spread, break up 3 walnuts to sprinkle of top, and garnish with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. This particular meal will be 19 grams of protein, 377 calories, and 28 grams of carbs. Bear in mind that I do eat more carbs when I am not working, and I focus on ingesting healthy carbs instead of breads/crackers/chips/crisps.
      It's a helluva journey and I'm thankful to be on it!
