I guess it's worth a shot. Read my response to the other girl who said it's a fad diet. It may just be idk.
Well that's kind of what I was reading about this so called pouch reset diet. It's basically starting over from when you first had the surgery and doing what you were doing or eating and drinking in the very beginning and then slowly introducing healthy foods and small portions again. Same thing like you said with drinking as well. I don't really eat sugar as it is and I don't drink so that's not an issue. I think it's my portion sizes. I was going to try that then see about a revision but from what I'm hearing I won't be able to get one unless there is something wrong. My insurance may not cover that.
No, it's a fad diet. You can't "reset" your pouch. Instead, go back to basics of protein first, followed by non-starchy vegetables, use a food scale to measure your food, don't drink with meals or 30 minutes afterwards, minimize/cut out alcohol, sugar, processed food, and simple carbs, use an app like MyFitnessPal to track your calories, and drink a minimum of 64 oz of water a day.
What kind of revision did you have done. I had GBP in 05, band over bypass '12. Now looking to have band removed and get a revision but the dr.s I've seen say that there is no practical revision for GBP yet they post revision options on their websites and allow me to come in for a consult knowing that they can't do anything---I'm a little frustrated.
I'm in a similar situation except I had the band put over my bypass and that was a waste of time and money. I've talked to a few Drs and they let me come in for an appointment to only tell me that there is nothing they can do to revise gastric-by pass. I know that my issue is with my stoma, I'm starving every 2-3 hrs.
Hi, which Dr. did you revision? I had gastric in '06 and band over bypass in '12 which was a terrible idea. I'm having it removed but also interested in a revision but every Dr. I've talked to says that there is nothing they can do to revise a gastric bypass. Is anyone familiar with a Dr. in the Baltimore area that actually do revisions?
