Today is actually my first day trying this to. So far I just keep thinking of all the food I want to eat!!! It is very hard for me because I have to constantly be in the kitchen making food for my 3 yr old! But so far I have had 1 Protein Shake, 2 cups of Water, and 2 small cups of coffee! I think when it comes time for dinner I am going to play with my hair and makeup or something lol.. I don't think I can be strong enough to stay away from food on my own!!

Oh and the 5 day pouch test is where you shrink your pouch back up by starting with your surgery basics. 2 days of all liquids, 1 day of soft Protein, 1 day of reg. protein and then 1 day of dry hard protein. It seems like it would be easy.. but it is def not!

I do think that my pouch has gotten bigger. I don't get that full feeling anymore.. not at all! I have been really bad though, and I have gained 10lbs! I was at 145 and now I am at 155!!! so I really need to re evaluate the way I have been doing things. It gets out of control before you even realize it! Its a pretty scary thing.. so that is why im doing the pouch reset. I hope it works. I also just had major back surgery.. so because of that and being stuck on the couch for 2 months.. all I did was eat and I wasn't able to exercise...

I want to try this! I've had a HARD last 3 months due to some personal life crap. I've lost weight but no means how I wanted. No gym for like a month even then I wasn't doing what I needed to. Eating poorly when I could eat. Not enough water..... Just all around bad! I don't feel full or hungry. I need a major reset!

Still haven't broke 200 yet. I'm struggling big time and need some new motivation.

May start this tomorrow.

My pouch stretched and I gained like 45lbs in a year. I just had a revision on 9-30. I don't feel hungry but I can drink like crazy and don't feel full.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
