Is it a test or a reset? Mine resets if I don't eat solids just a day or two. Suddenly food touches my pouch and it is like a rock in there. Bleh

I agree - if I do just liquids for 2 days- I am full pretty quick after eating even yogurt- but it does kick start it again.

It's a reset had to two years ago and going to the gym at least 3 to 4 days a week I still don't feel like I am losing anything. I don't think my stomach has stretched out or anything I still don't get hunger pain so that's a good sign right?

I'm doing a reset starting tomorrow. And joining a gym. Everything's in my head as far as my hunger goes. I have failed myself and I'm disappointed that I didn't take this as seriously as I should have. I'm three years post op this month and only these last 6 plus months found a Protein Drink that i can stomach which is muscle milk light and lactose free muscle milk chocolate. I never had to do a 2 week liquid only before surgery but I feel so out of control I feel I HAVE to do this. I have had a hernia repair since sugary and battle Constipation daily, bloating and hashimotos. But I know I can do this. Skinny feels better than foods taste! It really does. I want that again. Wish me luck!

Hi everyone...I am 4.5 years post op, was at goal until the last 6 months and have gained 5-6 lbs...but it feels like more. And I am just eating too much and drinking too much wine. I went off wine for the last month hoping to lose a lb or two but it didn't happen. So today I have started the 5 DPT. Never had to do that before so I hope I can do it. Next Monday I have surgery to remove the extra skin from my stomach and tighten things up and I so wanted to be at 138 lbs before I went in...today I am 144. So any tips from anyone who has done it would be great!!!
