Starting Pouch Reset - Accountability Partners?



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

I am 3 years post and have recently gained weight. I am hoping to press the reset button by going back to basics for an 8-10 day pouch reset starting on Monday, December 19th. Anyone want to join in?

I'm so with you! I'm not even 2 years out and I've gone back to my old hearing habits. I'm so mad at myself. I was down to 185 from an all time high of 328. I'm now back up to 230. Yikes. At this rate I will gain it all back within 2 years. I need a reset so bad.

The longer time goes the More I find I can eat. And the more I want to eat. It's so discouraging that I feel like I can't get it under control. Maybe the pouch test will reset my mind too!

I have seen lots of info online about the reset. Do you have a link to the one you are going to use?

If you have a sleeve not a pouch, don't do that liquid pouch reset, it is useless.

Eat 3-4 ounces of dense Protein only for a few days, so you can feel and utilize your restriction.

RNY people need the pouch reset because their pouches stretch. Sleeves don't stretch, people eat sliders and claim to have lost restriction when in reality it is entirely based on their diet.

Thank you for that! I didn't know it was all diet based and not a stretching of the sleeve. That's great to know.

Hi, I'm almost 3yrs out and and have gained back 50%. I started the pouch reset this morning....I hope both you and I are successful. I researched this as much as the surgery itself but that made me get into the right mind set.

Hi Treciag,

Best of luck to you with the reset. I'm sure this will be very difficult for all of us. Please keep posting your progress and I will continue to encourage you!

I have too many obligations between now and christmas that prevent me from starting it until Dec 26th, but I will. I can't have gone through the surgery just to gain it back.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
