I decided to do the 5 day pouch reset. For Breakfast I had a coffee with sugar free Creamer, lunch was blended split pea Soup, blended white Beans, dinner was blended lentils and a low carb chocolate shake with almond milk. I have had 2- 24 ounces of Water with a Lil crystal light. I feel a Lil cranky but otherwise fine. I'm excited to get my bandie functioning at optimum capacity. I have a fill appt. Next week also. What have been your experiences? I'm wondering if the fill I got 3 weeks ago will "kick in" with doing this and if I will still need a fill.

It's not going to do anything you didn't have before...in will not create, just restore.

It will, or can get your band back to working "Optimal" as you say, but everyone's optimal is different based upon adjustments, etc....

So, IMO, do not expect anything "New" to happen, but do expect to get back to where your band was working for you "optimally"

Thanks for the words of encouragement. I just wondered if it would feel tighter as I am able to, a lot of the time, eat whatever and how much I want, with very little restriction.

If anything, it will get me back on track mentally to eat less I would imagine.

I an on Day 2 of my Five Day pouch reset. I know that I had not been drinking Water on the norm, but did yesterday. I pee'd so much I couldn't believe it. With that being said, how could it be that when I weighed in this morning I was down to 166.2!! So 3 pounds lost in pure Water? No wonder water is important. I did feel as if I was seriously retaining water.

So, this morning for breakfast I am having my coffee with sugar free creamer and will have some pureed white Beans with melted cheese..YUM! And will begin sipping on my 24 ounce cup that I just bought. I think it makes it A LOT more convenient when you have the right kind of cup. So, I will make sure I drink 3 of those a day, morning, mid day and afternoon.

I am at the end of day 2. I had mashed Beans for breakfast and lunch with cheese. It was quick and I had to rush off to work. For dinner I made Chili and blended it in my food processor and sprinkled cheese on it. I had 2- 24 ounces Water with crystal light. I also went on a 2 mile walk tonight. I was kinda surprised to have my blended beans make me have a "soft stop" which for me is like a hiccup after about 1/2 cup. I had 1 cup because I know I needed the calories. Looking forward to day 3 tomorrow where I can add tuna, soft fish, eggs and cottage cheese.

I'm on day 5 of the pouch reset. I do notice I can eat less than before and get full much faster. I am going in for a fill on Thursday also. So, the 5 day full actually does work. I had years pass where I have not felt it this way and I'm very happy to feel my band again this way :)

I have been banded almost a full year I have fallen off my diet and have been thinking of doing this. I have attempted a few times but haven't made it happen yet. I do wander if it will have the same effect.

I believe it will. I have been banded over 6 years and had not had a fill in a few years. I had some restriction but could basically eat what I wanted. I went for a slight fill 3 weeks ago. I didn't really notice too much difference, but that I did get a little fuller faster. Then I did the 5 day pouch reset and I do notice some more restriction and can eat less than before. I am going to get another fill this Thursday. I also lost 3 pounds doing the pouch reset.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
