Starting the holiday detox early, anyone wanna join me?



Recommended Posts

Hello Thread,

I started my detox on the first and today is the sixth day of liquids only. I feel the need to do this as I do not have a fill doctor in my area that will help people that got banded in Mexico as I did on 3-19-07. I want to ask you what the pouch diet is? But I'm doing so well so far maybe I should just stick with altering liquids and small portion meals again. I am already past most hunger pains since the first! I'll continue with you.

The pouch diet is listed somewhere in this thread. Sorry, computer's moving too slow to try to find it.

I am on day three of liquids. I was going to try mushies today and well...it did not work. My band is very tight and the cottage cheese I tried to eat would not stay down. My fill was Monday and I sure hope it loosens some!

I'm on day 3 and I tried eating tuna (1 cup) and I was only able to eat 1/2. I am so over the moon. I can't wait to go and weigh this evening. I should wait until tomorrow, how is everyone doing? I hope that my pouch is strinking.

Rut-Roh...too tight really sucks...I just got an unfill for that reason. Don't go too long - it's just torture and you can do damange (I know take my own damned advice for once - I did okay - just took two months - I know I'm an idiot...and now I'm talking to myself)

I'm not sure if I am posting this in the right spot, but I figured support is support. I didn't gain over the holidays, BUT - I have been between 219 and 217 for over a month. I just got my third fill two weeks ago, but I REALLY do not feel any restriction. I can feel the food go down a TINY bit slower, but not much. I have lost about 20 pounds, but it has been over four months since surgery. Just wanted to see if anyone can give me some advice?

Hello all!

Just want to check and let you know that as of today which is day 5 for me I have lost 2 lbs on the 5 day pouch diet!

I am so happy! I am now below 250. I have been below 250 in over 2 years!! :thumbup:

Thanks BBK for starting this post and giving me the kick in the a$$ that I needed!

I'm happy!

I had my first fill December 4. I lost 20 lbs prior to my first fill. Today I got my second fill. I managed to lose 1 lb over the holidays... :angry:

Yea...I was really good until the 24th. I got back on track around January 3. That is the first time I have lost weight over the holiday. My Doc said most people gain seven lbs over the holiday...that I should be happy. I am! :thumbup:

You should check out the Surgical Weight Loss 5 Day Pouch Test that many of the contributors to this thread are doing. It's a short plan to help you get back on track and heading in the right direction.

Oh I am so mad right now!:angry: I went over the Obesity Help site an posted about the 5 day pouch diet. Some of the responses to the post was this diet is a bunch of "hooey".

I recieved a personal message from one of them on that board whom most of the posters think is the "lapband"authority that this diet was a bunch of crap and I shouldn't post something that has no basis and will confuse the new bandsters! :cool:

I was and still am excited about this diet and was wanting to share information that I thought someone might find useful.

Needless to say I will NOT be going back to that site and posting anything anymore!:thumbup:

I get more information here anyway and tons more support!

Sorry I just had to vent!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
