Can anyone tell me what the pouch reset rules are? I've been looking online and there are varying answers. I'd like to do the most "official" of these in order to get back on track to lose the last 20 (my goal not my ideal according to the charts) but I don't know which is the most popular. Thanks in advance for your help!

You have a sleeve, not a pouch. There are many variation, I can not imagine any one being more official than the other as they were not designed for the sleeve in the first place, I suppose.

“Pouch Reset” is a fad diet that was created for marketing purposes to get people to buy a center’s bariatric products. You’re better off just focusing on dense protein first and non-starchy vegetables. Try doing just that, so no liquid calories, sugar, artificial sweeteners, alcohol or processed food and see what kind of results you get. You may feel poorly for 1-3 days as you detox off of junk but then you should start to feel better.

Yes, it's fundamentally a fad diet. The basic premise is that since most were on a liquid diet just after surgery and we lost weight like gangbusters then, all we have to do is go back to a liquid diet again.

Reality check - even those of us who were never on a liquid diet still lost like gangbusters initially, as that initial drop has nothing to do with the composition of the diet, only the very low calorie level that is forced upon us by the recent surgery.

If you want to do a "reset", go back to a basic meat and green vegetable diet to help you detox from whatever junk has crept back into your diet.
