I'm in the process of resetting my sleeve. I have read on how to do this. I'm going to mimic the post op diet. Not sure if i will lose the same amount. Anyone else done this?

I am currently doing this. I had my Sleeve back in December of 2012 and had lost around 160 lbs. Unfortunately, I slowly over the years had gained about 100 of that back. So about a month ago I decided it was time to fix myself again. So I started following my post op diet again and then into my regular diet, as it is I have lost around 15 pounds so far in this new round, find i'm not having any difficulty following the old diet plan so far. I guess we will see what happens.

I am about to get the sleeve. What do you mean by "resetting"?

When people feel they have gone off plan they restart it by going through all the steps
Some from the preop diet through the post op diet phases some only through the post op diet phases as directed initially by their surgical team

I hear it works but will depend on many factors
How far out you are from surgery, if you actually have more weight to lose vs skin, etc

I’m almost 4 years post op. I have indulged in to much alcohol and put a lot back on. So to reset my sleeve, I’m doing all the post op food stages again. Clear, liquid, purée, soft, normal foods.

@Richard Foor

hey dude - i remember you.:) sorry you are having regain problems. sad you gained

about 100 lbs back - good you have kept about 60 lbs off!! It's taken you about

five (5 years) to get back on course. BUT it could have been longer. Fifteen lbs gone!!

You are making your kids (and yourself) proud. Keep up the good work. I hope to see

less and less of you. Newbie alert, newbie alert - you must remain diligent with your

eating/drinking for the rest of your healthier, happier, longer life.

good luck

kathy

congrats

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
