This is probably the most informative and realistic video I have heard. Definitely true I was planning on a reset diet knowing well it was BS! But I wanted so bad to believe it would work. The truth is my eating habits are horrible and I need to control and be more disciplined with myself starting NOW! Good luck everyone that’s struggling.
Me.right now😢...10 months only lost 35lbs...cause I only have been eating so bad!!!! Totally out of my mind...too much carbs in my opinion Starting now🎉going back to it and add more exercises...
I was 330Lbs at the date of my surgery. After surgery (months) I hit 200lbs. I wanted to be 199 so bad haha i remember it like it was yesterday. As I am writing this I can tell you that I am sitting at 250lbs. I want so badly to get myself back to around 210ish. I was so in love with life so full of energy. I am going to do my best to achieve this starting today. Thanks for the heads up, its evident I know what i need to do.
My sleeve is the best thing i ever did for me and my health,, i was close to 300 pounds. I lost 166 pounds.. i am 115. i am age 63.. i was in my upper 50's.. in 2018 i had nearly 4 pounds taken off my tummy and belly button removed , due to had infections.. i fell in hospital had to have blood. I spent Thanksgiving in the hospital.. it was my fault i fell. Not letting a nurse come into bathroom with me after my tummy surgery.. you got this!! i am 5"2 tall. So me keeping my weight up was not good. When your tall. You can carry that off. Regaedless you can lose where ever you want to lose.. i love Dr.A.. i also follow Dr.Duc vuong. Or Dr.V.. Dr.A. and him are friends..
It’s not ONLY “WHAT” you’re eating, it’s “HOW OFTEN” you’re eating and “WHAT” you’re eating. Let’s face it, after the initial fabulous results from bariatric surgery, reaching and maintaining a desired weight STILL boils down to diet and exercise… Just like everybody else…
I often wonder if some people use the reset diet as a mental reset (as opposed to a pouch) to help get the back into the swing into what they really need to be doing
This is literally what I wish it could be renamed as is a "mind and belly reset". It makes you rethink how you eat and how much to eat. I am actually doing this "reset" and its been actually very eye-opening because I realized I was NOT drink enough water or liquids. I was grazing when I was bored, and grazing on the WORST foods. While it won't reset my belly to be smaller, it just makes me realize that I was not using my tool correctly
Yea that’s exactly it! I want to train my body and mind to eat better like the way I did before. When I do the reset it’s more to get back on track like when the surgery first was done.
Great advice!! I am 16 months out and I have completely stopped losing. Partially my fault. This advice will definitely help me get back on track. I have only gained 6 lbs but I’m not trying to go backwards. I have came too far
@@jeanedarc I am doing so much better!!! I think I am finally getting back on track physically and mentally!!! Thank you for asking!! It is really appreciated❤️
Yes I stopped logging and that's where I gained 10 lbs......and when I started logging and being mindful and drinking more water and being active walking strength training made all the difference
Thank you for making this video. I’ve seen this subject so many times and I knew it’s BS!!! You’re gaining because of what you’re stuffing your mouth with.I’m 6 yrs post sleeve surgery and I’ve for the first time have gained. I do know it’s because I’m eating junk and fry fatty foods. I’ve started keto and upped my water intake and it’s helped so much.
I want to say thank you since listening to you I understood the assignment and I loss an extra 20 pounds and realized that what I was in taking and the amount was my issue got resolved and now I feel like a winner 🏆 ❤
Dr. Alvarez is my favorite place to come to for the best info. I'm a year out from my sleeve & have lost 80 pounds. I am trying to analyze why my weight loss seems to have completely stopped. I know I don't eat perfectly even though I am super careful about avoiding sugars and carbs, sometimes I have an occasional treat. I don't eat a lot but I probably eat too often. I exercise nearly every day and my tummy is an absolute monster! I considered a "reset" diet but instead going to take a look at overall calorie consumption since I stopped counting calories and only count carbs and protein. I think my calories may be too much over a 24 hour period. I hope to get at least 20 more lbs off before I get to 18 months post op. Thank you Dr. Alvarez for your consistently great videos!!!
I'm over 7 years out and had 2 more children, and slacked off with my eating habits and exercise, the reset button is remembering where you came from and continuing to improve yourself. Go back to healthy eating, exercise, drinking water...just doing healthy things. This video is motivating me to go back to the things I learned pre op and using the tool.
Hi Kimberly, how did you do it? Please share some ideas...what type of sweetener do you use? I am a coffee lover have to have my coffee with some type of sugar. What do you usually eat in a day?
I had the surgery in 2006 and in the 2019 had 2 babies gained 55lbs and now I'm trying to get back down and it's hard. I was told reset the pouch. I'm like that sounds like BS. I started exercising September 1st and have lost 10lbs. I guess I'm on track eat better food is key. Thanks for this video.
Very encouraging I'm 2years out and only gained back 10 pounds. My highest weight was 320. I can eat so much more now. Thank you for being real. I got to comfortable eating junk getting back on track is a must.
thank you so much for this info. i am 3 weeks post op vsg. this process has been so hard. I have lost 20 pounds since my surgery. i lost 27 pounds before my surgery. i have struggled with eating healthy already. i am going to stay with this and do what i need to do to be successful. use this tool. thank you. god bless!
This is great information and makes perfect sense and maintaining a healthy diet along with exercise and the proper rest and vitamins is the key to success! Thanks Dr. Alvarez!
Thank you. The most intelligent advice & information that I have heard from a physician so far. I was banded 10-years ago. All of the physicians want me to convert to the sleeve..., why? It's not the device, it's behavioral. I started at 265 10-years ago. I am fluctuating between 217 and 220 to date. Hence, I have basically kept the weight off. I refuse to go back for another surgery because I couldn't behave myself and stop drinking an occasional rum and coke, ooopps.. Moreover, I still eat in moderation and exercise. I find it absolutely amazing when I see people who have gained twice as much weight with the device in place.
Best video ever! Straight to the point and debunking this "pouch reset" myth. I had gastric bypass back in September 2016 and now I'm getting some of the weight back, but watching this video opened up my eyes, Dr. Alvarez, thank you so much for your honesty and great advice. I will follow your guidelines and log my food intake and hopefully this will be a change for good, thanks again
You have been very helpful for me and this process it’s been two years and I’ve been so caught in my mind that I can’t get myself together I realized it is what I’m eating because I dnt eat as much as I use to smh. Transition is hard but I refuse to go back
I was 251lbs and 5’4” no other underlying conditions. I was approved. I understand insurance companies are different, but just thought I’d drop in and hopefully give you hope that it’s definitely possible. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you, if you haven’t heard anything yet. And if you have, that everything is a success. It was the best decision I ever made.
Doc, you are an absolute legend! I love your honesty, your humility & of course your wealth of knowledge. Thank you so much for all your well chosen topics, you just nail it every time 🙏♥️
I had a miscarriage 1mo th and half ago and i gainened 12lbs as i emotionally ate to deal with it all... i was thinking of a poich reset but i needed to hear what you said to be able to get my mind set again (look at what im eating, cut carbs and sweets and exercise). Hopefuly i will lose yhese 12lbs and continue to lose after this. Thank for your videos
Can't the stomach stretch, though? I feel, almost 3 yrs since my surgery, that I can eat WAY more... obviously I AM eating more, and yes, the bottom line is that I should not do it. My question still stands: can't the stomach stretch with time?
Thanks, Dr. Alverez, I had the surgery and started to gain weight again. I don't feel full after 3 or 4 bites like when I first had surgery. So where am I dropping the ball? I eat too much again, don't exercise like I should, and I'm lucky to get 5 hours of sleep at night. It's a shame I can't be handcuffed and forced to do it right. So it's on me and it's harder to change than kicking heroin (not to say I do drugs). Sugar is my heroin in a matter of speaking.
I lost nearly 50lbs during the month of liquid diet before and after my sleeve surgery. At about 1.5 weeks after the surgery, I was still on a liquid diet. I was only drinking water and 3-4 protein shakes per day. I gained 5 lbs in about 3 days. It was very strange. But, after that, I started to go down again. This was all while on the liquid diet.
All of a sudden I can't eat. I've had times when I could eat normally; however, recently, I no longer eat nowhere near as much. Idk what that's about. I had my surgery in 2014.
I am 3 weeks and two days post op and I no longer feel that restriction I was afraid I stretched my pouch Bc of not having that feeling to identify. But to clarify, this doesn’t necessarily mean Iv stretched my pouch, right? Why does that restricted feeling diminish?
Hello doctor. Which type of sweetener do you recommend? I am using whole earth with stevia and mink fruit. And also I used to use stevia in the raw. Which sweetener is best? Please advice. Thank you!
Hello Dr. Alvarez, I wanted to know if you can help me figure out why I am having problems losing the weight like I’m suppose to after a sleeve. On Sept 28 2021, I got the sleeve done as of today, A year later I’ve lost 33 pounds. This is not right. My way of eating did change, besides the fact that I do eat way less but I’ve added more protein in my diet. I’m not perfect with my diet but for the most part I have done what was suggested by bariatric. So I do not eat the way I use to, and yet I have not lost the weight that “MANY” others have successfully lost after the sleeve. This has been extremely discouraging and has made me feel like a failure. Now I do want to add that during this time and currently, I haven’t been able to exercise the way I should because I had problems with my ankle to the point where I had to get my ankle reconstructed last month. Plus, I was dealing with back pain (sciatica) on and off where at times I couldn’t walk. So for those 2 reasons I couldn’t be active and exercise like I wanted to. Addition to this, I take antidepressants for clinical depression and lamictal for mood disorders. Can these medications be contributing to my problem? No one seem to know for sure, not even my bariatric provider. I really am at a point where I am convinced I will never lose the weight, and that I will always be a complete failure in this matter. If you do have the answer to my problem, then my next question will be Do I still have a chance to start back on day one? Oh I do want to mention that I did have another surgery done, my gallbladder was removed.
Yes so true its wat we are eating that makes us gane weight I'm at 18 pounds more but I eat things I don't suppose to bit in January I'm hitting the gym and watching wat I eat 300 pounds before surgery went to 135 Kwon 168 my weight has to be 150 and this video help me a lot to open my eyes
Well it sounds like you are really doing great. I have a uncle hat had the gastric bypass 2005 he weighed 461 pounds and in two and a half years he lost 254 pounds with diet and exercise like going to gym riding a bicycle some times as far as 20 miles a day. He had all this free time on hand because he had been disable from knee injury. He done very well . After the weigh loss and exercise he started getting back into old habits 17 years later he has gained back 180 pounds, so watch what you do don't start j going on junk food.
I don’t understand why I’m not losing. Unless I only drink water. The protein shake they gave me is what I drink and it made me go up when I started it after 4 days of nothing but water. I slowly added it in and follow everything they keep telling me. I was so frustrated that I decided to see what would happen if I only took in water on day 7. I lost one pound. Day 8 took in 1 low carb high protein 150 calorie shake and a 4 ounce glass of skin milk. It went up a pound. I was put on metformin because of this before surgery. I would fast for 3 days only water and my sugar would still be high. I know the liver dumps glycogen which makes my sugar go up. Which makes me hold weight. I’m so frustrated and nobody has answers. My team even said it’s not normal to go up in weight right after.
I had gastric bypass RNY January 2019. My heaviest recorded weight I was 355 pounds. I got down to 190. I met my now husband and had our little girl January 2021 while pregnant with her I gained 40 lbs I lost 25 right after she was born. Right when I returned to work I broke my ankle. Snapped my fibula in half. I was non weight bearing for months. I gained the weight back because before I was really active always on the go? Going to the gym and I ate a high protein/fiber rich diet. But I just wasn’t moving like I should. Now I’m sitting at 227 and I’m healed completely and back into the groove of things and going back to the gym. My problem is I snack at work. I snack on mainly sunflower seeds but I snack constantly cause 80% of my day is spent in a truck the other 20% I’m lifting heavy stuff and pushing heavy items hear to there but it’s just really hard for me to lose the weight. My sleep and vitamin intake could be better but as of today I’m going to make sure I get enough sleep and wake up and take my vitamins! Thank you for this video
:Precisely, iv got lotsa ppls, cautions, saying mostly negatively nightmares. Now 3+months, thankfully, my recovery process was very smooth🙏🤲 no doubts now i feel very hungry easily, can eat almost everything..., do u feel the same like me? 🤔 Always hungry?
I’m 1 week and 3 days post. I can not keep another shake down !!!! It’s been 3-4 days and I can’t it makes me sick wat do I Do at this point ? I know I need protien all I been able to drink is gaterade zero and water ☹️☹️☹️
I drink protein water-without the surculose/Splenda crap. I am intolerant to surculose-aspartame potassium…so all the protein shakes made me sick. I did bone broth, protein 2.0, and Pirq shakes (pea protein and no Splenda/surculose). I hope that helps
There are protein shakes out there w/o the bad sweeteners they are plant based, also check into the soups now that have protein for those that just had the sleeve.....they also have puddings and other types of foods other than shakes....check your local Walmart.....you can blend and make all sorts of things you can eat at your point in time.....check TH-cam as well ....
Hey dr I was wondering y I never felt any pain after the surgery it felt like nothing ever happened I can eat anything and nothing affects me I recently during the pandemic have gained weight back I don’t wana blame anything or make excuses but the pandemic really hit me as I recently lost my job in may and been just stress eating as I have not had any financial monetary since than but I really wana know y I didn’t feel any affect and if I might have stretched my pouch
Hello I am so glad that I found this I'm 2 years in I had my sleeve done in 2019 June 3rd I've been around 170 and 180 for the past year and now for the past 3-6 months I've been a hundred ninety four pounds so the first thing I thought reset the pouch I'm so glad I came across your video because in the back of my mind already knew I needed to start back eating right and working out because like you said I already have the tool🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩😜😜😜😜🤩🤩🤩
This is probably the most informative and realistic video I have heard. Definitely true I was planning on a reset diet knowing well it was BS! But I wanted so bad to believe it would work. The truth is my eating habits are horrible and I need to control and be more disciplined with myself starting NOW! Good luck everyone that’s struggling.
Yes struggling but I am on it. Discipline is key.
Your honesty is refreshing
Me too! This is painful but true. Gotta get back to the basics and stop making excuses.
Me.right now😢...10 months only lost 35lbs...cause I only have been eating so bad!!!! Totally out of my mind...too much carbs in my opinion
Starting now🎉going back to it and add more exercises...
@@caffeNoizette Do you feel physically weak when you follow the diet?

It’s not ONLY “WHAT” you’re eating, it’s “HOW OFTEN” you’re eating and “WHAT” you’re eating.
Let’s face it, after the initial fabulous results from bariatric surgery, reaching and maintaining a desired weight STILL boils down to diet and exercise…
Just like everybody else…
So true, I just did my 3 yr post op. I changed what I was eating and the weight came off again. Tfs
Keep it going 👍🏽 u got this
Really ? So I still have a chance
I often wonder if some people use the reset diet as a mental reset (as opposed to a pouch) to help get the back into the swing into what they really need to be doing
Maybe that's really what it is
This is literally what I wish it could be renamed as is a "mind and belly reset". It makes you rethink how you eat and how much to eat. I am actually doing this "reset" and its been actually very eye-opening because I realized I was NOT drink enough water or liquids. I was grazing when I was bored, and grazing on the WORST foods.
While it won't reset my belly to be smaller, it just makes me realize that I was not using my tool correctly
For me it’s both mental and physical
This is 100% true. It’s a mental game.
It puts you in check.
Yea that’s exactly it! I want to train my body and mind to eat better like the way I did before. When I do the reset it’s more to get back on track like when the surgery first was done.
Hi Dr. A. It’s Misty..one of your first patients many years ago! Great to see how successful you have been over the years.
Hello Misty!
Thank you very much!
I hope you're doing well! Greetings!
Great advice!! I am 16 months out and I have completely stopped losing. Partially my fault. This advice will definitely help me get back on track. I have only gained 6 lbs but I’m not trying to go backwards. I have came too far

Thanks, Dr. Alverez, I had the surgery and started to gain weight again. I don't feel full after 3 or 4 bites like when I first had surgery. So where am I dropping the ball? I eat too much again, don't exercise like I should, and I'm lucky to get 5 hours of sleep at night. It's a shame I can't be handcuffed and forced to do it right. So it's on me and it's harder to change than kicking heroin (not to say I do drugs). Sugar is my heroin in a matter of speaking.
I lost nearly 50lbs during the month of liquid diet before and after my sleeve surgery. At about 1.5 weeks after the surgery, I was still on a liquid diet. I was only drinking water and 3-4 protein shakes per day. I gained 5 lbs in about 3 days. It was very strange. But, after that, I started to go down again. This was all while on the liquid diet.

I am 3 weeks and two days post op and I no longer feel that restriction
I was afraid I stretched my pouch Bc of not having that feeling to identify. But to clarify, this doesn’t necessarily mean Iv stretched my pouch, right? Why does that restricted feeling diminish?
You are awesome 👏

Hello doctor. Which type of sweetener do you recommend? I am using whole earth with stevia and mink fruit. And also I used to use stevia in the raw. Which sweetener is best? Please advice. Thank you!

Hello Dr. Alvarez, I wanted to know if you can help me figure out why I am having problems losing the weight like I’m suppose to after a sleeve. On Sept 28 2021, I got the sleeve done as of today, A year later I’ve lost 33 pounds. This is not right. My way of eating did change, besides the fact that I do eat way less but I’ve added more protein in my diet. I’m not perfect with my diet but for the most part I have done what was suggested by bariatric. So I do not eat the way I use to, and yet I have not lost the weight that “MANY” others have successfully lost after the sleeve. This has been extremely discouraging and has made me feel like a failure.
Now I do want to add that during this time and currently, I haven’t been able to exercise the way I should because I had problems with my ankle to the point where I had to get my ankle reconstructed last month. Plus, I was dealing with back pain (sciatica) on and off where at times I couldn’t walk. So for those 2 reasons I couldn’t be active and exercise like I wanted to. Addition to this, I take antidepressants for clinical depression and lamictal for mood disorders. Can these medications be contributing to my problem? No one seem to know for sure, not even my bariatric provider. I really am at a point where I am convinced I will never lose the weight, and that I will always be a complete failure in this matter. If you do have the answer to my problem, then my next question will be
Do I still have a chance to start back on day one?
Oh I do want to mention that I did have another surgery done, my gallbladder was removed.
Yes so true its wat we are eating that makes us gane weight I'm at 18 pounds more but I eat things I don't suppose to bit in January I'm hitting the gym and watching wat I eat 300 pounds before surgery went to 135 Kwon 168 my weight has to be 150 and this video help me a lot to open my eyes
Freaking love ❤️ this man realist Man God Bless you and Family ..Body is fragile need to listen
I’m 15 months post op and I’ve lost 190 pounds......I feel great
Well it sounds like you are really doing great. I have a uncle hat had the gastric bypass 2005 he weighed 461 pounds and in two and a half years he lost 254 pounds with diet and exercise like going to gym riding a bicycle some times as far as 20 miles a day. He had all this free time on hand because he had been disable from knee injury. He done very well . After the weigh loss and exercise he started getting back into old habits 17 years later he has gained back 180 pounds, so watch what you do don't start j going on junk food.
I don’t understand why I’m not losing. Unless I only drink water. The protein shake they gave me is what I drink and it made me go up when I started it after 4 days of nothing but water. I slowly added it in and follow everything they keep telling me. I was so frustrated that I decided to see what would happen if I only took in water on day 7. I lost one pound. Day 8 took in 1 low carb high protein 150 calorie shake and a 4 ounce glass of skin milk. It went up a pound. I was put on metformin because of this before surgery. I would fast for 3 days only water and my sugar would still be high. I know the liver dumps glycogen which makes my sugar go up. Which makes me hold weight. I’m so frustrated and nobody has answers. My team even said it’s not normal to go up in weight right after.
I’m 2 months post op & I keep losing & gaining same 10lbs.
Love.
I had gastric bypass RNY January 2019. My heaviest recorded weight I was 355 pounds. I got down to 190. I met my now husband and had our little girl January 2021 while pregnant with her I gained 40 lbs I lost 25 right after she was born. Right when I returned to work I broke my ankle. Snapped my fibula in half. I was non weight bearing for months. I gained the weight back because before I was really active always on the go? Going to the gym and I ate a high protein/fiber rich diet. But I just wasn’t moving like I should. Now I’m sitting at 227 and I’m healed completely and back into the groove of things and going back to the gym. My problem is I snack at work. I snack on mainly sunflower seeds but I snack constantly cause 80% of my day is spent in a truck the other 20% I’m lifting heavy stuff and pushing heavy items hear to there but it’s just really hard for me to lose the weight. My sleep and vitamin intake could be better but as of today I’m going to make sure I get enough sleep and wake up and take my vitamins! Thank you for this video
100%
So if someone with 9 years post op with a sleeve can they go back to basic and lose weight? Or should she get another surgery?
That's what I want to know

¡Hola!
Si, se encuentra en nuestro canal de TH-cam en Español: th-cam.com/video/64KTRGwEeX8/w-d-xo.html
I’m 1 week and 3 days post. I can not keep another shake down !!!! It’s been 3-4 days and I can’t it makes me sick wat do I Do at this point ? I know I need protien all I been able to drink is gaterade zero and water ☹️☹️☹️
I drink protein water-without the surculose/Splenda crap. I am intolerant to surculose-aspartame potassium…so all the protein shakes made me sick. I did bone broth, protein 2.0, and Pirq shakes (pea protein and no Splenda/surculose). I hope that helps
There are protein shakes out there w/o the bad sweeteners they are plant based, also check into the soups now that have protein for those that just had the sleeve.....they also have puddings and other types of foods other than shakes....check your local Walmart.....you can blend and make all sorts of things you can eat at your point in time.....check TH-cam as well ....
