Thinking about SIPS but scared out of my mind
ButtRflyKiSSes posted a topic in Duodenal Switch Surgery Forum
I am thinking about getting SIPS but I've been doing research and have come across a few youtube videos on what people deal with post op. The surgery itself doesn't scare me its the aftermath. What is the vitamin intake like post op? What were the biggest changes for you? -

Thank you for sharing your experience with me. This has really eased my mind a great deal. -
Yes I am on my liquid diet right now, I have 6 days left. However, I only have to do two weeks.

Liquid diet struggles
ButtRflyKiSSes replied to ButtRflyKiSSes's topic in Pre-op Diets and Questions
Its something my surgeon recommended and it seems to be working. I have had weight loss but not as fast as I thought it was going to be on this liquid diet. My surgeon is located in Washington state. I have a target date of May 23rd but its not confirmed as my surgery date just yet. How about you? -
Oh boy this liquid diet has been a big struggle for me. I was given the sandwich diet which is a combo of two weeks on liquid and two weeks on low carb. I decided I would try the liquid diet just to see how I would do. I still have a month to go before I can qualify for surgery. Being hungry drives me so crazy!! Do you know how many day one's I've had on this liquid diet? I couldn't get through a whole day without having a little something solid to chew. I am glad to say I may have found my rhythm! I am not getting starvation hungry like I was before, either that or my body is adjusting. I've finally got past day two with nothing solid in my mouth! I pray that I get through the rest of this 2 weeks without going crazy,

Thank you for the replies, this helps alot. Some of the youtube video's really freaked me. Some of the videos I watched where people were having to take what looked like...handfuls of vitamins daily. Believe it or not that scared me more than having to deal with loose stools. I know this is an odd question but have either of you had any problems with Seafood..like clams?
