5 day pouch reset



Recommended Posts

I am back after a few years off. Got a slight fill about 3 weeks ago, going back next week for another. I came across the 5 day pouch reset. I have never heard of this, although my drs nutritionist said I could go on a 2 week liquid diet for 2 Weeks. I was thinking it would be good to reset my pouch. I have not had too much restriction in a couple years at least and have dieted by doing south beach diet to maintain. I am going to start tomorrow and I'm excited at starting this journey once again!

This five day pouch reset or test that I have been reading about online thanks to your post sounds very much like what my Dr. advises after a fill.

I also have found that when I lose track and I start munching on things mindlessly it helps to go back to this regimine to get me back on track again. It's also good when I have a crazy day and I might be in a place where I won't be able to make good choices or they aren't readily available.

I don't think it's a negative thing, your getting all your Protein, Vitamins, and it's easy to track the calorie count. Seems like a win win for me.

Since it has been so long, I was kinda wondering if there was any way I may have stretched my pouch. I think its best to know where it actually is before I get a fill and to make it as effective as possible! I am having my morning coffee now with my sugar free Creamer. Have my almond milk and low carb 25 grams Protein Shakes for later. Plus sugar free Jello and a couple Soups for later. I am really excited to start over! Thanks for the encouragement :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
