How is everyone dealing with their scars? Does everyone have scarring still?

What did the mini-reset entail?
I just start over from soft food until I got to solids, I think I did it for about a week. Bare bones menu.

I am not aware of the 5 day pouch test. What is that?

I've been struggling to take off the weight. I keep fluctuation between 270 and 275. But I know it's the diet. Need to eat clean.

Here is some info on it: http://www.5daypouchtest.com/plan/theplan.html

5DPT: Daily food Plan:
On the 5 Day Pouch Test you will follow a dietary progression beginning with Liquid Protein and ending with firm Protein. This mimics the early dietary progression following surgery. Please click the "Read More" links to see each day in full detail. Hint: There is more to this plan than meets the eye with the seemingly simple dietary progression, please read the plan fully to guarantee your best success with this back-to-basics effort.

Days 1 & 2: liquid Protein
low-carb Protein Shakes, broth, clear or cream Soups, sugar-free Gelatin and pudding.< span> Read more.

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
