LIQUID RESET?



Recommended Posts

what exactly is a liquid reset? what do you do? how long? how does it work? after the "reset", do you go back to full foods or start over with blended stage? i'm 6 months post op and have hit a HUGE STALL. it is becoming quite frustrating. (did i mention it is a HUGE STALL?). i have heard that a liquid reset can help get things back on track.

That's a great question. I've been having trouble dropping my last 27 lbs. I wonder if this could help? I look forward to hearing everyone's answers!

All it means is to go back on your pre-op diet, which for most patients was a liquid diet. My pre-op diet was as follows:

Week 1:

All the Water, tea and sugar free drinks you like

All the broth you like

All the sugar free Jello and sugar free popsicles you like

2 Protein shakes (Breakfast and lunch)

dinner is lean non-breaded meat on a bed of greens

Week 2:

The same as week one but dinner is replaced with another Protein shake.

almost eight months out and haven't had a true stall since the infamous three-week one, but my weight loss has been pathetic this month (like - 2 lbs since Jan 1). My surgeon once said that if you hit a stall, sometimes going back to a liquid diet (like the pre-op) for 2 or 3 days might get things moving again. I may try it....

My doc had me do a liquid reset at 8 months, due to not losing quite as much as he had hoped (85 just wasn't enough I guess). So I did a week of liquid Protein and Water, then went back to normal eating....protein first, then complex carbs. It seemed to reset my restriction.

So many different versions, including the ones listed above. Another one is the "5 day pouch test". You can google it.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
