So I'm almost a year out. I'm still losing but fairly slowly. I feel like I can be eating better as I tend to hit some carbs & sweets probably more than I should. It happens! But I want to get my diet back in check. I was considering doing the ol clear liquid diet for a few days in attempt to reset my mind and body & diet. Has anyone done this or anything similar to get back on track? I'm not trying to be one of those people bypass didn't ultimately work for and gain it all back. I'm terrified of this.

When I used to diet, I found it helpful to start with a "cleanse." Making a drastic change in my eating habits for a few days did seem to help me take my diet seriously. For a while. But now I'm leaving the diet mentality behind. Now I'm concentrating on nutrition and controlling recreational eating for the long term.

I'm almost 2 years out and am holding steady within 4 pounds. I really want to lose about 16 more pounds. I am also afraid of gaining the weight back. I thought about going back to Protein Shakes with some salads to try to jump start. I know many people have done a 5 day pouch test. I am also consider in this as an option. Good luck!

What's the pouch test. I remember reading about it in my early days but didn't pay much attention at the time...

Wow! That's great! I think patience is your key being only a few months out. I remember the feeling though. The loss will kick in again. I swear your weight will settle in for a good period of time occasionally. I hated it. More will come off, trust!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
