Hello Everyone, I had my surgery 11 years ago and lost 100 pounds. I've gained about 40 pounds and was able to lose 10 last month doing Paleo/Keto diet. The weight lost just stop so now I'm deciding to go back to basic and just do " The pouch reset" has anyone done that. Did it work??? Thanks in advance.

Glad to read this from you olgark! I will be sleeved in 2 days & was wondering if I can do the Keto diet afterwards?
How do you feel about Ketogenics?

I just started it, just finished day 2. Yesterday was hard but today a lot easier, already seeing the scale move down

DO NOT do any diet that you aren't willing to follow the rest of your life. and keto is possibly the most unsustainable diet there is.

you are about to get bariatric surgery. the surgery works. just eat a generally healthy, whole-food diet. give up sugar entirely, carbs mostly, and eat normal amounts of healthy fats.

or as author Michael Pollen so succinctly put it: "eat FOOD. not too much. mostly plants."

or what i came up with: "if it grows in the ground or falls from a tree, grazes on grass or swims in the sea."

this surgery is your "do-over" opportunity to live a somewhat normal life. you don't need to do an extreme diet like keto. the OP is in a different boat, having regained. and honestly it's not a long-term strategy for him/her either.

I had gastric bypass 12 years ago , lost 200. But I gain all back. I did the stomach swchering 2 years ago in UCLA and lost 60 lbs , and I am going to do the Distal gastric bypass now. I had the class before the surgery yesterday, and lost 27 lbs with diet. He wants me to lose 35-45 lbs before the surgery. The readjustment to pouch didn't last that long , and it opened up again.
