Hi guys, so I’m nearly 5 years out from gastric bypass. Original weight was 364lb I went down to 153lbs and was scheduled in to have my excess skin removed. The operation was cancelled due to Covid (I’m in UK) but during lockdown I’ve developed really bad eating habits and gone back up to 196lb so again of 43lb :( I’m absolutely devastated. Enough is enough I need to get this weight off and look forward to my skin removal. I’ve been looking at the 10 day pouch reset and thought yes it’s just what I need to get my brain back thinking about good food and good portion sizes again. For me food is an addiction so it will be incredibly hard but I’m determined. I was just looking for some good / kind words from anyone who tried this and succeeded. Success stories/tips would be much appreciated . Thankyou x

Good luck to you! COVID has been really hard on everyone. I gained 30lbs during COVID, and actually, that's what pushed me over the edge to finally decide on WLS. I was getting bad asthma and just feeling like crap. You have worked SOOOO hard, and you have been so successful! It's a slip, but you know you have the strength in you do the work!

From what I've seen from other people on here, I would strongly consider working with a bariatric trained therapist to deal with your addiction to food.

Have a look at Dr Matthew Weiner’s Pound of Cure. He’s a bariatric surgeon & his book & You Tube videos are great: straight talking & helpful.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
