Hi ,

Anyone out there done the 5 Day Re-Set program. I sure needed it. Mu surgery was on Oct. 12 2015. Start weight 268, pre-surg. 257, lowest after surgery 196, last 5 months up to 218, so a somewhat recent gain 22 LBS. I had gotten sloppy . Plain and simple. I was slowly letting sugar back in, breads. I really dont have much dumping. So that obviously can be good and bad. As you guys know, after like a year and a half, (well my experience) , you can eat then three hours later ....you could eat again.

So to make a long story short....I tried the 5 Day Pouch Re-set. (you dont have to have a pouch- I don't even know what that really means) but the 5 Day Re-Set puts you back to eating the way you did your first 5 days out of surgery. You can lookit up , but basically Day 1& 2 liquids, protein drinks, diet jellos , puddings, veggie juices. Day 3 , add yogurts, soft tuna, eggs, cottage cheese. Day 4 more proteins added hamburger meat, chicken, etc. By then your carb cravings do decrease......and this starts to feel like your new normal way to eat again. Day 5 all proteins added back in. I am happy to say , I am not having cravings. I DO feel like this is my new normal to be back to having my protein shake, no- cal liquids, ( except I do make a tea with a bit of coffee mate and a splenda blend that has like 10 calories- Its like a low cal milk tea), yougurts, eggs, good proteins. It has returned my way of thinking to back when I was just a few months out of surgery. I am happy to say I am back down to 212 lbs. SO, a 6 lb. weight loss . If you have sort of gone off the rails a bit, try the 5 Day Pouch Re-set. I have to admit I tried it 2 X before and only lasted like one day. But when You really start drinking your water, a protein drink, and let your sleeve really work for you - and go back to basics, this really helped me out and put me back on the right track. Let me know of your experiences , if anyone has tried this. I am thinking I may do this once a month to keep me in check!!! I feel fantastic!!

All the best to each and every one of YOU!

Thanks I really needed to hear that cause I'm just a 11 months out and I feel like I have fail cause before surgery my weight was 266 and now I'm at 223 have not lost that much in a year and I should be at goal are close to it and yet I'm still 65 lbs away from goal. Will do the restart

Hi sorry i miss understood your surgery was 2015 and the lowest you got was 196 in the 2 years? is that what your saying?

that 6lbs weightloss will be alot of water weight from carb reduction but keep it up! its a great boost! But yes anyone having issues should go back to dense protein which is what works for your pouch. congrats

I personally do not believe in all the resets, people gain from eating too much sliders, ( apart rom usual stall) stop sliders go back to just protein first and weigh your food alot simpler than a 'pouch reset that does not actually reset anything' and you will feel the restriction right from the start but good you found what works for you

You have done well so far keep going, what are you eating everyday? under 6ounce protien first for your meals?

Thank you. I needed this. I was sleeved sept 2015 and have also let myself get back into old habits. My psw was 294 I got down to 197 and am now 207. Ashamed to say the least. I let an injury, a death in the family and marital stress become my reason stress eating. This surgery is a tool not a solution on its own. It takes hard work on our part and getting real with the reasons we got this way to begin with. I spent 2 hours at the rec today, 4 miles of "getting real with my head walking" and I'm starting my liquid diet/reset. I know I can do better and get back on track
