Has anyone tried the pouch reset diet? I’m stalled and feel like I need to reset so I can get my portions back smaller.

Thanks! I haven’t done one yet but I need to clean up my diet for sure. Ive stalled and in fact regained 5 lbs :( I’m only 25 away from my goal and I really wanna get there soon lol

How is it so far?

Hey ladies! Started at 310 and am at 155-160 now. Had vsg July 25 2017. I was a fairly slow loser and I have plateaued for sure. The first pic was a before from may 16 to March 18. Next pic was heaviest dec 16 and after October 17. Last two were from the last few weeks.

I had my surgery July 25th so I'm like 3.5 months out. My typical day looks like this: Breakfast: microwave scrambled egg with 1 oz turkey, .5 oz shredded cheese and either spinach or tomatoes (totals 1 oz) Lunch: 2 oz chicken or turkey, 1 oz cherry tomatoes, 1 oz carrots and a string cheese Snack: light and fit Greek yogurt Late snack: string cheese and either carrots, tomatoes, snap peas etc (some veggie) 2 oz Dinner: 3 oz chicken and 2 oz broccoli If I have a sweet tooth I will have half of a dole dark chocolate covered banana slices pack. I average about 60-70 g of protein a day and I'm lucky if I get over 800 calories.

I have been trying to revel in these as sometimes the scale may not budge and I want to keep encouraging myself. My NSV this week was having to buy new jeans because I shrank out of all my old ones, and having to get rid of my old dress shirts. I went from a 3/4x to an xl now and 22/24 to 16/17 pants. As a reward this Sunday I'm going to an amusement park with some friends. this will be the first time in years that I have gone and not been afraid of fitting on the rides. What's your NSV's? Please share your successes! Btw here's my most recent update pics

Any time! It helps me keep on track when I see others progress too. And sometimes it's hard to know where I should be since I only know one other person who had the surgery. Just remember to celebrate the small stuff! And to take it day by day. You'll do great!

I'm 9 weeks out and have been stalled for over a week. My friends say I look thinner so maybe I'm losing inches but the scale hasn't budged. I eat about 600-800 calories a day, 60-70 g protein and 72 oz of water a day. I exercise 3 to 4 days a week but average about 10k steps a day w/o the gym. I too have the irrational fear that my weight loss is done but then I read the posts and remind myself that the weight will come off, just may take some time. I didn't become obese overnight and I won't be healthy overnight.

I am a full time student at msu and I had surgery July 25th. Last fall I struggled to fit in the desks. I had such bad anxiety that I'd have to sit in the back of class, get my seat before the other students came in, and would leave after everyone else. My stomach would press against the desk and hurt. Well I started classes again yesterday and guess what? I fit in the desks no problem, sat in the front of the class and had no anxiety. I had enough space to cross my legs under the desk even.[emoji41] just wanted to share this NSV. The scale hasn't moved much the last 2 weeks but this NSV just brightened my week and kept me going [emoji173] below are my pictures. The top ones are from April and the bottom is last week Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you! It's hard to see much change day to day but that NSV was huge yesterday! I found myself more engaged and friendly in class because I wasn't worrying if everyone was staring at the fat girl in class [emoji16] so excited to continue to watch my body change Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

I started with like 15 min 3x a day and now at almost 2 weeks I'm doing about 3 miles on treadmill and at least 6k steps otherwise but I was really active prior to surgery Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Today's the day! After 7 months of prep I feel very ready. I've lost 40 pounds during the pre op period and can't wait to lose more! I'm anxious, nervous, and excited. I will say the 2 day clear liquids my doctor had me do has been brutal, but I felt ready after doing 2 weeks of full liquids. Anyone else getting sleeved today??? Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Honestly I feel amazing! I had moderate pain in the hospital but otherwise I've been just taking Tylenol since day 3/4. I'm walking about 2-3 miles a day already and my energy is better than before. I suggest walking before, that seemed to help me to bounce back maybe? Lol. Also I think a lot of it is mind over matter, so just remember the pain is temporary and follow your doctor's orders to the letter. Good luck!! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Hey there! I was sleeved on the 25th by Dr. Metz at Parker hospital. I lost about 40 lbs prior to surgery as well . I also went thru Medicaid for my surgery. Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Day of surgery I was 258.8, next day when I was released I was 266. Today I am 3 days post op and I'm at 261. I am still on full liquids so I'm confused how I haven't lost back to at least my day of surgery weight. Has anyone else had this happen? Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

I put the retainer in morning of surgery and didn't put the ring back until I got home the next day. I had no issues. They did put a bit of tape over it when I went in for surgery as a just in case. Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Ended up staying a bit longer at the hospital because of pain but I'm home now. Having a rough time getting in and out of bed or getting comfortable. Gas has been kind of a pain but all manageable. I'm really surprised at how normal I mostly feel. Other than the gas pain and incision pain I feel like myself. Was able to get down part of a protein shake and a light and fit yogurt smoothie as well as most of my water. Just got to remember to take small sips lol otherwise it doesn't feel great.

Got sleeved yesterday at 115 waking up from anesthesia was rough... ended up vomiting. Otherwise I've been walking a ton and not much discomfort from the gas. The incision where they took the stomach out is super sore and weepy. Been off the I.V. Pain meds since last night around 6 pm. Also no problems really with keeping liquids down, haven't had to take nausea meds since right after surgery. Just waiting on my Dr to make rounds so I can go home.

How exciting! My surgery is scheduled for 2 pm in Parker, CO. Post once you can and fill me in! I will do the same

Just completed my 6 months worth of medically supervised weight loss and for my surgery scheduled! I'll be having my sleeve done July 25th [emoji173] I've never been so excited! Although I've only lost 30 lbs in the 6 months leading up to surgery I feel so prepared. Is anyone else having surgery around that time? Also I'm really dreading the 3 day clear liquid diet my Dr requires but it's a small sacrifice in the grand scheme of things. Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

We're getting close!!! So exciting Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

My surgeon only requires a 3 day clear liquid diet but I've decided to do the 2 week full and then switch over to clear for the 3 days before surgery. I'm on day 2 of my liquid diet and man oh man these headaches are the worst! It's not even that I'm hungry really just not feeling myself, tired, and trying to deal with this intense headache. Anyone have any suggestions? This is going to be a long two weeks Lol Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

I too have HS and my dermatologist was the first person to recommend. She did mention that sometimes it can cause flares but once you level off the HS can go fully into remission. Considering I've been on humira for the last year even a decrease in flares sounds amazing! Hopefully once all the Drs talk they will get on the same page. I'm so sorry I'm only on my second class but I'd be super upset if this happened to me. Keep pushing!! Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

Yeah me too lol. I'm really trying to be good but man it's sooo hard!!! Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

My dietician is letting me eat some carbs until surgery.... Not much but I get whole grains one meal a day! Lol it's funny, some days I'm good and then others I'm starving! I am trying really hard to not do any bread since I won't be able to after surgery but holy moly it's hard!!! Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App
