pouch reset is a fad diet and does not "reset" your stomach. Instead, go back to eating dense Protein first then veggies. As well, do not drink your calories, don't eat processed food, minimize carbs except for complex ones, and try not to use artificial sweeteners as they can increase cravings and sweet consumption. Are you weighing your food and tracking everything you eat with a journal or app like MyFitnessPal? If not, get back into that habit. And make sure you're drinking at least 64 oz of Water a day. Good luck!

Im sorry but i was excited to renew my commitment and i was looking for encouragemen and others doing the same thing. Lets put this into perspective for you. I had gastric by pass 6 years ago and last year was rewarded for keeping All of the weight off with a free panectomey. I have gained back 40 pounds. I know what im doing and how to do it and you dont know what i am referring to as a "pouch reset", just as i dont know what you have for a definition for those two words. Therefore, um flad it worked for you but to each their own journey. And my response was to the other woman but i just joined this thing. So awesome

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
