I'm getting the Sadi done in February. I've got all the requirements almost done. I tried to find a support group on Facebook but not many people there have had this procedure done. I'm getting nervous and looking for recepie ideas and or examples of daily eating. Thank you Ann

I had DS which is similar to SADI and has the same bathroom warnings. I can confirm things were WILD for a few weeks post op. I felt so bad for my poor spouse and kids lmao. But after about 2 - 3 weeks things went back to normal for me. Normal poops and pretty normal smells. Are things possibly a little stinkier than they were before? Maybe but not by much. And it's still nothing compared to my teenage son lol. Like I wouldn't be afraid to use a public restroom if need be. I haven't found any triggers yet that make things worse, but then again I'm still being super careful with my diet.

TL;DR - things definitely were gross for a minute after surgery but then it went back to normal.

Best of luck to you!!

I am having DS in 3 weeks and I am quite nervous about this also. I would love to have someone to be able to run things past that may not need a doctor to answer. Thanks for sharing!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
