48 hour pouch reset?



Recommended Posts

So those who read my post the other day know I'm new, was sleeved 4 years ago Nov 2nd. However I've had some regain. I was thinking of trying this thing I read about in obesityhealth.com.

A lady posted to the site as forums what she calls the 48 hour pouch reset for the who have regained or feel slightly out of control or simply for those whose weight loss has slowed or they're not feeling the resistant of their sleeve and want to feel like they did at the start.

Basically on day 1 your just thong through a pure liquid diet, reaching your Protein goals through 4-5 Protein Shakes sided throughout the day as well as Water, tea and other calorie free liquids with no carbonation.

On day 2 you repeat but only having 4 of the 5 shakes and then for dinner sit quietly and mindfuly while you eat a dinner that consists of nothing but 3 to 6 oz of grilled or broiled chicken with very little to no seasoning.

The whole point of the dinner is to take your time and remember what it was like room there beginning as you see retraining your brain to take those small bites, to chew the chicken to mush before swallowing and cutting off another bite. This mindful excersise, along with the 2 day liquid diet is supposed to allow you to gain a new insight and fresh start into going back to basics and also with the roughly almost 48 hours of nothing but liquids it's supposed to give you back that feeling of restriction from your pouch if you haven't been feeling it lately.

Has anyone actually heard of this...let alone done this little protocol? I'm curious to try it myself because if you're going to go back to basics why not go back to the beginning and remember where you really started from?

I can't across a post hear recently about a five day punch reset that was simply a redirect to buy a book off Amazon but I had to assume it's the same theory/protocol...or pretty close...only it's 5 days and not 48 hours.

Anywho...just wanted to see if anyone has done this or done their own version in some way to get back on track and back to basics. I'd loved to start this on Saturday for my fasting shake days so Monday I'll be able to pack my meals for work/school.

Actually I have no problem with the protein fasting and look forward to it. I used to go on fasts at least 4 times yearly for spiritual\health reasons but ever since the surgery I never picked the habit bank up. But as long as I'm getting my macros I don't see the problem.

So anyway, I'd love to hear your thoughts or comments on thi little experiment. I'm interested to hear from those who may have tried it as well.

If you want the full program details you can just go to obesityhelp.org or google 48 hour bariatric pouch reset and it should pop up with the full info. Look forward to hearing from you guys! Anyone else integrated joining the experiment? ????

I am almost two years out and I decided to do the 5 day pouch test. I am currently on day 3 and have lost 4 pounds already. I got pregnant a month after surgery and never really had a chance to take full advantage of my sleeve. I still lost 130 lbs, pregnant and all, but I have 30 to go and found myself slipping into bad habits again so I wanted to get back on track! I'd say it's working!!!

I was sleeved almost 4 years ago and noticed I have been slipping to the point of 30 pounds. SoI have doing the 48 hour pouch reset as well.

The way it was read to me was only the Protein shakes for day 1 (5) and day 2 (4) and then chicken 8oz on the plate. And then.....life starts over.

I was so upset with my gain I called my Dr and was even considering being resleeved. So I go to the Dr on June 13th so this is day 2 and I really feel good. Even smiled after getting on the scale this morning!

Been doing some research on the pouch reset. Did you end up doing it and did it work. I had surgery almost 4 years ago and got pregnant within the year of having it and was fine until the baby was born and then I started getting back into old habits and bad eating. I haven't necessarily gained weight. Had the abdominoplasty about 8 months ago and would like to still loose more so I am wondering if the pouch reset would work to get me back into Bariatric Eating habits and get me feeling satisfied sooner which is what I've read.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
