Carla...this is from memory so it may be wrong or rusty....however, this is what I remember reading about the time out plan 2 weeks 30 grams of protein supplement(powder or ready to drink) 3 times a day nothing bu****er or fluids in between...after that go down to 2 times a day and add a salad with FF dressing for dinner.  Now, I have no clue how long it should be done for....and personally, I'd think the protein drinks should be about 4-5 times a day so you're body doesn't get too low on the calories...but...I don't think it would hurt to "tweak" it a bit....someone else may have more info than me...hopefully, they'll post if they do or if I'm wrong....Tell your friend good luck to him!

As you well know Carla, I used to be on the time out band wagon and it DID help me reset my mentality for a time.  But I gained all the weight back and more!  I have been eating South Beach style and working out really hard 5 days a week with awesome results though! The other poster was right though. 3 Nectar Shakes a day and a butt load of water...that's it!

I've heard about the time out plan, but I knew it wouldn't work for me.  So I listened to my own body and did what IT wanted me to do!  Sounds weird I know, but it works....

No matter how far out I get, I'm ALWAYS able to 'reset' my dumping mechanism.  Your body, after this surgery, is in a constant effort to get back to it's 'normal' self.  The pouch stretches and as time goes on, you don't malabsorb calories as you used to.  If you start eating carbs and sweets slowly and then increase them with time, you are getting your system used to the way things used to be, before your surgery.

Three separate times I've gained up to 182 and every time I get things back in line by sticking to protein, water and veggies and minimal fruit - but no breads, starches or manufactured sweets of any kind!  (and drink as much water as I can stand). And most importantly, I eat only one thing at a time and make sure I don't get full - no matter what it is!  When I get full (even on salad) I don't lose and I'm not helping my pouch get back to it's former self.

 When I do this, within two weeks time, not only have I dropped a ton of weight, my pouch is reset and my dumping mechanism as well.  I wish they had a forum for 'weight gain' because I keep telling everyone this and I keep seeing new posts every day for weight gain.  I think we need a whole section for the subject, complete with articles to read so that the question won't be coming up all the time and more people can be successful in this journey....jmho......
