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.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!
