Starting Pouch Reset - Accountability Partners?



Recommended Posts

On a Happy note, I went about 6 hours without eating yesterday - busy with Christmas shopping. And whenI did eat, I felt the restriction again! I was so glad to feel it again and to know I have the power to get it back!

I am starting today! It's sad to me that I still have to have the same resolution I have had every year for the last 20 years. But I am grateful to have a way to reset this tool to help me. I feel hopeful because I'm not on my own. I went to the grocery store last night and got everything I need and eliminated everything I don't. Good luck to us all!!!

How is everyone doing with your reset?? Boy it's hard isn't it? I'm dying for carbs!

I do feel better already though. I was eating just terrible throughout the holiday season and was feeling really gross. So I'm excited and hopeful to get back on track and lose this regain.

Thanks so much for posting that. I've been doing the reset and it's so hard. But I feel the restriction too so I know it's worth it. :)

Thanks for the encouragement!

The reset, to me at least,was more of a detox. Sometimes we stray and eat things we shouldn't and feel less restriction and/or more hungry. The reset detoxes the sugar out of your system and gives your tummy a break, sort of letting you feel that really fill feeling we all had in the very beginning

If you have a sleeve not a pouch, don't do that liquid pouch reset, it is useless.

Eat 3-4 ounces of dense Protein only for a few days, so you can feel and utilize your restriction.

RNY people need the pouch reset because their pouches stretch. Sleeves don't stretch, people eat sliders and claim to have lost restriction when in reality it is entirely based on their diet.

I love this!! I needed to read this today! I haven't been on here in a while!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
