I heard that you have to go back and "reset" your pouch .. learn to feel it again and drink the 70 oz of Water a day.. don't drink an hour before and an hour after..

I came across an interesting article http://www.obesitycoverage.com/the-pouch-reset-losing-weight-after-weight-regain/

Hey everyone.. well for my wife and I, it has been almost 5 months since surgery. I am down 102 lb and my wife is down 85 lb.. she has hit the 67% and I'm 54% our surgeon is amazed at our progress.. When you hit 75% you have Reached the surgery success rate.. not your ideal weight but the fact that surgery was successful. Most don't hit that till 18 months out. I'm posting pics hopefully they go through. Lol. We're able to eat most anything. Except tuna, eggs, and milk. Boiled egg in salad seems to be ok. Other than that our lab work has been ok except Iron. So we are taking ferrous fumarate now.. other than that everything else is great. Oh we have also added Biotin because we are def starting to loose our hair.. that is a bit disappointing but hey its the risk you take I guess. Hope everyone is doing great.

That's true! But I don't think it was fair nor very nice from "Turn the page" with her comment "it sounds like your setting yourself up for failure" I'm down 41 pounds in just 4 weeks!!! I posted our diet sheet and I know I'm doing exactly what I'm supposed to do! Isn't this about supporting one another not shouting out negative remarks? I think I'm doing damn good and that comment hurt!!

My surgery was 8/19 and I was off to a great start! I was getting all my fluids in, and doing the tsp of cottage cheese 3x a day then the week came where you need I increase your foods to more solids and work your way up to 1/4 - 1/2 cup over the next couple weeks. well so far I can not do toast, or eggs, or tuna.. I'm struggling with options

This is the diet were supposed to follow. I can't seem do advance past yogurt and bananas.. I have eaten laughing cow cream cheese just fine, I have also has a few bites of pickles just fine, but everything else is tough. also I'm barely getting in 40oz of liquid. Is anyone else struggling like this? My wife had surgery the same day as I, and she's doing great! She can not however tolerate eggs, or macaroni n cheese.

Well I had my surgery on August 19th! So just under 6 weeks I have lost 48 pounds! I'm pretty excited about this! I had my post op appointment and I was cleared to finally head back to the gym! My blood work came back and said I need a little Iron and Vitamin D, so will be starting that soon! I have only had 1 dumping phase since surgery! I never felt pain or have had to take any pain reliever since surgery! My incisions are gone! I had a reality check on how important it is to keep your fluids up, I went swimming at the gym one day and didn't realize I was dehydrated and ended up passing out in the locker room and riding in an ambulance to the emergency room because I didn't keep my fluids up! I'm now getting about 80 oz average in fluids a day, some days are tough and I'm only able to get 42 oz in! I never struggled with gas issues or getting it stuck anywhere. Everything taste super sweet to me so I've only been drinking Water since my surgery! I haven't noticed any taste change but I have craved odd combinations I usually wouldn't ever consider. I have experienced my skin is a lot softer now, and sometimes my legs feel restless. I haven't had increased energy yet like everyone talks about, or an increased sex drive lol.. My safe, go to food is bananas! If I'm having an off day, or not really hungry but need to eat then I will have a banana. So that's an update on my first 5 1/2 weeks!
Good luck to everyone

well I'm thankful for my surgeon! A ton of post op patients return to the hospital for dehydration because they can't keep up on fluids. my surgeon does NOT require Protein Shakes, they just want you to keep fluids up to prevent dehydration. Protein will come in time they say when you start eating. As long as your going pee and it's not dark in color your good. they want at least 64 oz of Fluid in and were doing almost that!!

My wife and I both have our surgery tomorrow! We have to be at the hospital at 6am. Please keep us in your prayers. will update as soon as we can. thank you everyone for your support.

So every appointment is done! Clearance is complete! Then found our our insurance doesn't need approval! SCORE!! This entire process has been way to smooth for us! Quitting coffee, quitting smoking, eating 1400 calories a day! Quite soda and drink only Water now! The last 3 months has been a breeze! Thought we would have struggled way more than we did! Oh and the best news of all, we actually lost weight on our own! Who would have thunk lol. Surgery for my wife and I August 19th!
