Recharge: Reboot: Deprogram

I need to serious recharge my system. Reboot my diet and deprogram the way I have been eating and looking at diet/exercise!!!!

I have so many people around me doing so many crazy diets...shakeology and other various serious detox diets that costs hundreds of dollars!!!! I know it ain't that hard. But I also know bariatrically I need to approach this differently.

Anyone know of a good "detox" program for bariatric patients? I am 4-yrs. post op and have recently looked back and noticed my 30# gain!!

what about the 5-day pouch test?  If you google that, you will find websites about it.  i know people who have done it, there are some on this board.  it is mostly a "back to the basics" to remind you of the rules for gastric bypass patients. 

I was actually looking into that (again) yesterday. I have done it once about a year ago. Lost about 5-7#'s. Unfortunately, the philosophy did not "stick" and I fell off the wagon AGAIN!

I had posted on the main boards about the Day 1 & 2 creamed soups you can have. I used canned creamed soups last time and had about 1-2 cans a day along with other things allowed. I wasn't sure if canned creamed soups was what it was referring to or more the recipes she lists? I had like cream of asparagus, cream of broccoli, cream of potato (probably not the best choice) and tomato soups.

Anyone know?

I have never done it, so I honestly don't know.  Most canned soups have too much sodium; I assume she recommends the low sodium versions.  But you can still control sodium much better if you make it yourself.

I wish you lived closer and could come to our Saturday coffee group.  The support really helps me stay on track.

I DO TOO!!!! I always see/read about the coffee groups (and I love coffee) and wish I could be there.
There isn't a whole lot for support other than at the hospitals in the Fargo-Moorhead area...that I know abouts anyway.
