TMI seriously!! You should know the answer to that question better than anyone on this forum. Stupid is as Stupid does. SMH

Hi, I’m looking into trying the pouch reset/pouch test as I have put on weight (5yrs post op) and feel I’m going backwards. I know some people don’t believe it works but I’m going to give it go. Does anyone have any advise or tips they can offer?

I'm gonna start a "Pouch Reset" on Jan. 2nd. (pssst, it's basically a low-ish fat Atkins/low carb)
It's going back to my surgeon's rules:
1. 64+oz fluids + ALL supplements/vitamins
2. No drinking with meals 30/30
3. Lean protein first 2-3oz per meal + 1-2oz veggies per meal = DO NOT EXCEED 1 cup by volume, so if only the protein fits in the cup, then no veggies at that meal.
4. Aim for 600-800cals per day (60-70g lean protein, <20g net carbs (from veggies-no fruit), <35g fat
(Oh and I'm gonna eat that within a 16:8 to 18:6 IF window, just cuz I love to complicate life...) hehe

Just checking see if you did the pouch test. I’m looking for a buddy. I’m gyro start tomorrow.

I regained 25pounds after 2 years. I feel like I’m starting over again. Need a buddy, I’m here. Need the support.
