Earlier this year, Bader revealed she underwent a weight loss surgery that cut 80 percent of her stomach \u2014 called SADI, otherwise referred to as Single Anastomosis Duodenal Switch \u2014 after months of online rumors speculating she was taking anti-obesity medications.<\/p>\n
During Monday\u2019s episode of the Toast<\/em> podcast, she explained that despite being two years post-surgery, she still struggles with some of the adjustments she\u2019s had to make. <\/p>\n\u201cI struggle eating every day,\u201d she said before mentioning the aftercare of weight-loss surgery. \u201cI forget that you can\u2019t have water and food in between 30 minutes for the rest of your life, and I\u2019ll be unwell,\u201d Bader said. \u201cThere\u2019s just a lot to learn, and I\u2019m still figuring that out.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to the Mayo Clinic, it is advised not to drink liquids 30 minutes before, during, or after a meal to avoid overfilling the newly smaller stomach. The rule also helps prevent complications from the surgery, such as dumping syndrome, where food or liquids pass too quickly into the small intestine.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was upset that I lost more weight than I wanted, but I didn\u2019t have that decision,\u201d the influencer said.<\/p>\n
Single Anastomosis Duodenal Switch is a weight loss surgery combining sleeve gastrectomy with intestinal bypass, designed for people with severe, or class three obesity, according to Mercy. The procedure includes the removal of 80 percent of the stomach in order to create a \u201ctube-shaped sleeve,\u201d as well as separating the top part of the small intestine below the stomach before reattaching it to the bottom part of the intestine.<\/p>\n
Looking back on her career during the podcast, Bader said there were some positive side effects to the surgery, such as less back and knee pain and being invited to more events. However, instead of accepting every invitation, she tends to be more picky, only attending events that she feels best aligned with. <\/p>\n
\u201cI definitely will say no to a lot of things in terms of fashion because I\u2019m like, that makes me feel more bad for the other girly, \u2018Remi-before,\u2019\u201d she explained. <\/p>\n
\u201cI actually remember me and Khlo\u00e9 [Kardashian] spoke about that too, because she was just like, \u2018Oh, the people that want to invite me now that never did that invited Kim [Kardashian] and stuff before, like, screw them. I feel the same way on that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
