What is it??
If you have the self discipline required to make the 5DPT a success then to be honest you wouldn't really need to take the reset. It works for very very few long term, some short term, and most not at all. You get a year to make the lifestyle changes you have to make if you're going to be successful post op. If you failed to make the changes during that golden year then you're hardly likely to make them in five days
I thought it was just to re-sensitize your pouch? Are you saying that its all a waste of time after a year?
btw my pauls having his op march 2nd and is on the pre op diet as we speakhope your ok.

I respectfully disagree with Karlos. I swear by the 5dpt and use it about every 6-8 weeks just to remind myself of the rules and make sure I am paying attention to my pouch. I find it an incredibly powerful tool and I think has been key to maintaining my weight (along with exercise).
ETA: Even when you are following all of the rules it is super easy to make decisions that aren't as brilliant as the rest of the time and start sliding into bad habits/not so great eating patterns. I find the 5dpt helps me in this regard. I am over 2 years out and I know quite a few people who had their bypasses around the same time as me and initially did well and the weight is creeping back on for them. The 5dpt helps remind me this is a tool and I will have to be careful for the remainder of my life.
