SIPS / SADI-S LOOP DS SUPPORT

[LosGal 8]

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.>.

I was informed that it is healthier to eat several small meals which I try to do. I try to eat something high in Protein every 3-4 hours. I stick with almonds, peanuts or Quest Protein chips for Snacks. I try to write down what I eat protein, carbs and fat.

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

You are so thin ! Congratulations ! I'm too scared to have the Sadi and will have the sleeve. I hope I get results like yours.

[Sweetmel7 39]

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

[Sweetmel7 39]

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
