Hello Everyone My name Crystal ❤️

I was sleeve in July 2013 I am now 3 years out. Have lost a total of 95lbs but in the last year have gained 35lbs. I seemed to have had no restriction at least in my mind. I honestly recently after having tons of test including a upper GI scan tell me my pouch was fine. It had not stretched there was nothing wrong with it. So I have to face my self and reevaluate what I have been doing. After doing a real hard look at what I ate day to day and what has transpired in my

Life the last year. I was able to recognize that I had stopped following the plan and slipped back into emotional unhealthy eating. I was no longer measuring, and was not exercising like I should. So in desperate sea have for help I started to search the net, I saw where there were many who have don't the pouch reset in which you go back too the big inning stages of you gastric journey Clear liquids purée food etc.

I wS wondering if any of you have had a similar experience and also have you tried this sleeve reset if so what were your results ?

i actually bought the book for the 5 Day Pouch Test and it's pretty good. i haven't REALLY done it yet, did just 2 days but it was pretty good.

i too need to get back on track. i have gained about 20 lbs in the past several months and need to get re-focused too. i'm also seeing a new doc and nut in 12 days which i think will help.

I think instead of doing liquids when you are not going to use any of the restriction you have anyway. It is better to just do dense Proteins. Steak, chicken breast, pork chops. You are going to feel your restriction and be more satisfied.

I too gained 20 lbs. with a cruise, etc. I have struggled to get down 10 lbs. recently, and have gone back to shakes and one small meal a day. It has helped.

What sort of thing are you having for your meal, may I ask? Also on average how many shakes would you be having? amount of Protein in them...

I've been trying this, but my blood sugar went too low, so I succumbed to eating some carbs :( That was yesterday afternoon I've been feeling it difficult to get back into since..

Abletocope, the shakes have 30 or more grams of Protein. Last nights dinner was four meatballs. One Apple for a snack. Usually I have vegetables. Nutritionally I am not doing great, but I hope to get better as I ask questions and follow the smart people here. I am 70, and do not work out. I swim and walk.

Strange as it may seem - I've never considered having meatballs - that would certainly work for us here :) Thanks for the idea. I don't really work out either - though I do have a treadmill so theres no excuse really - other than there not being enough hours in the day.

I'm in Scotland, so have different shakes available than you guys have - I've got two right now -one small bottle thats 20g in it and one 50g in it - its kinda big though so need to space that one out. I do have a powdered one too - I usually make that up in the morning with unsweetened almond milk.

A good idea is to make mini meatballs in a muffin tin. I have seen recipes for chicken meatballs too. If you have Pinterest online, seek out the Bariatric REcipes. Great inspiration!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
