Anyone out there who had the SADI-S
Hi! I had this surgery and it has worked well for me. I had surgery on 12 / 3/13 . HW 268 and now 115. In the beginning for the first two weeks , I lost 17 lbs but once I started to implement food little by little, the weight melted off. I was loosing 3/5 lbs a week. I have maintained my weight for the last two/three months bc I was was 120in August. I went to meet with my surgeon and nutritionist to learn how to stop loosing weight. MY weight loss was achieved and I have stopped loosing, too..
Not much of an exercise routine, just walking. In the last two months I have been goingbon the treadmill,bicycle and leg press machines to build strength because I had a really bad MS attack in April. I thank God every day that I lost weight because learning to walk again was difficult being thin but I couldn't imagine how difficult it would've been if I had an extra 150 lbs on my body. .
I have SADI on OCT 10 2014 so I imagine we had surgery around the same time. My weight loss has been slow as molasses. I have had 2 weeks (wk 3 and wk 7) that I did not lose any weight. So far I have lost about 28 lbs since surgery. I lose about 1-3 lbs per week and that's with exercising at least twice a week and watching my carbs and sugar. I have a hard time sticking to an eating schedule all day because I'm almost never hungry and eating is a chore. I was told by my surgeon's assistant that I have to eat more if I want to lose more and feed myself on schedule as if it's medicine. It's hard. After lunch I usually don't eat until dinner. So protein and fluid are still very difficult for me to get in. Im a reviser too so maybe that's why I lose slow. I'm sure you are losing more than me, so relax because even though I rolled into surgery with high expectations and fear of failure, I have been a basket case about losing slower than even people with a regular sleeve. I'm losing faster than I would have without surgery. Stalls will happen from time to time but at least you're not gaining.
