There is an online 5 day pouch reset that you might consider. I am out 23 years and had gained back 30 lbs also. I started with the pouch reset and am now doing high protein, good carbs and low fat. Have lost 15lbs since Nov 11.
What think you? Possibly effective, or just another attempt to grab at the desperation of the obese population?

Hi cpcampbell,
We are going to have holidays all year around. I continue to eat in moderation and small portion of food on my plate. You will be tempted with cravings for food you should not eat. Each day you will be tempted with food. You have to resist the temptation be mindful of the food around you.
February 6, 2024 will be my four years Post Op. I continue to have continuing success with not gaining any weight. I have met my overall weight loss goal last year. You have to stay fully committed and devoted in accomplishing your goals. You have to eat healthy and in moderation and count your calories intake making sure the calories you consume doing exercise activity equals to the calories you ingested. This could prevent you from gaining weight or having a setback?
I am an advocate for people battling obesity. I am a Spokesperson for a major hospital in California. I communicate with the Pre Op and Post Op patients every month for the group session.
I continue to motivate and uplift those helping guide them to overcome their struggles with obesity.
Happy Holidays

Good morning,
Was perusing on the site and saw your post. I hope that you are doing well and I wanted to send positive thoughts especially during the holiday season. I lost my husband last November and I did the same exact thing as you. It was rough and I still have tough days but I'm doing better..and down within my weight range. Hope to hear back!

Open communication with your healthcare provider can help address specific questions and uncertainties you may have.
Hi MsNikki318,
Yes, continue eating the unsaturated fat with polyunsaturated and monounsaturated healthy fats. When you cook utilize Virgin Olive Oil it is healthier for you.
Keep a Food Journal because it helps you monitor what you eat and beverages you drink on a daily basis. You can keep a count of your calories intake as well.
Happy Holidays ?
Hi Manhattanite,
It is always import to read the Nutritional Facts or Labels of all food and drinks before you ingest these food or beverages. People should count their calories they ingest daily to be sure they burn the calories out which is called(energy expenditure). What happens to lots of people they ingest more calories a day than they burn off. What happens to the extra calories get stored in their adipose as (stored fat) this where weight gain begins. The Energy we ingest (food) actually are calories. If you not trying to burn those calories after eating food, eventually weight gain will occur.
Saturated Fats stay a way from. Try focusing on eating food with unsaturated Fats that is healthier for you. Food with high sodium, sugar contents not healthy for you. Cook your food with Virgin Oil better for you than butter.. Your calories should be counted in all foods you ingest and beverages you drink daily. Calories you can burn off during the end of the day by exercising, walking, or riding a bike to burn off the calories from the food you have eaten. If not, it will be store as fat. Energy cannot be destroy or made.
Count the calories in the food and beverages you ingest on a daily basis it is important!!!!
Best regards,
Thanks! Very good tips!
Totally feel you on checking those labels. I used to ignore them, and bam, extra pounds. Now I'm all about that unsaturated fats life. And yeah, keeping a food journal opened my eyes - didn't realize I was munching that much.
