Hey everyone I am off track on dieting and losing weight and need to get back on track. I have heard that some people go back on the 2 week pre op diet to get themselfs back on track.

Have you tried this?

Did it get you back on track/

Did you lose weight? if so how much?

Just trying to figure out if this is what I need to do.

Thanks!

I'd suggest two days of liquids, two days of soft foods, two days of mushies, then ween yourself back to eating full servings. And measure everything to keep your intake around 1.0-1.5 c per meal (depending what you're eating - 1.5 c of Soup may be perfect but 1.5 c of Pasta may be too much).

And track your food on paper or online (fitbit.com / thedailyplate.com / sparkpeople.com). You may be surprised what and how much you're eating.

Going back to where you started will get you back on track because it will help shrink your stomach a little bit and will make you mindful of what you're eating again.

Some people do the 5 day pouch test to get back on track. The first time I did it I lost 3kg.

I do it to get back on track, get rid of my cravings and see how my pouch is doing.
