I have never done the pouch reset diet (pouch test) but I’ve heard mixed things about it. My doc says it doesn’t reset anything physically, but for me it is the mental and emotion stuff that I need to reset anyways. I’ve read some people losing 5-10 lbs and breaking out of a long stall & breaking old habits that snuck back in. I would like to try it as well. I have bounced between 170-175 for about 2 months now. I’m out of school for the summer and being home all day has opened the door for snacking. Im snacking on fruit but they are heavy in carbs ?. I’m working on breaking that habit now and I think the reset is just what I need ??

I also wanted to say congrats to everyone you are doing great!

I don’t have any hair pics but at around 3 months PO mine started falling out by the fistful. I had thick hair that I straitened once it started coming out it became easier to manage when I left it wavy. Nobody could tell it happened because I changed the look of my hair. I’m almost 7 months PO and my hair loss is back to my normal rate and I have a lot of whispy new growth.

I haven’t checked in since probably December/January but I had my VSG on 11/21 and I’m down 75 lbs. Here is my day of and yesterday pictures.

I am facing the same thing right now. I am at a 40.3 BMI with comorbidities that are not on the insurance list, but my surgeons says mine usually count with this insurance company. With comorbidities I can get down to a 35, without them I'd need to be a 40. I am safe as long as I don't dip below 40 BMI, that is a 2 pound change from my last appointment. My surgeons office said if I gain at all, the insurance company will deny the surgery and if I lose more than those 2 lbs I lose my surgery. My final appointment is in 3 weeks and I am weighing myself daily, Im really worried that I will lose my surgery

I do not have an answer, I have the same question for Tricare Standard. My last Appt with my surgeon & Nut are for October 11, hoping that I will have an Oct surgery date but not optimistic.
