How frustrating to be stalled for so long?! It's been a year without the scale moving. I have to lose 15 pounds in 10 days. A little back story, I went to see a plastic surgeon to have a panniculectomy done and my insurance denied me. The surgeons office appealed the denial, insurance came back and said I have to send in proof that my BMI is 30 or below. Well I'm still overweight by 15 pounds. I would like to do a pouch reset but has anyone reset their pouch 5 years later and have been successful? Also were you able to workout with no solid food just liquids? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you so much!!

15 pounds in 10 days? You can try the liquid diet like preop... low carb and low fat, but that is asking an awful lot.

Good luck!

Pouch reset is a fad diet. I think the best approach would be to only eat dense protein and non-starchy vegetables; no cheating. And no sugar, artificial sweeteners, or processed food either.

Same thing I was thinking. To lose so much weight in so little time. I'm going to try going back to the basics. Hopefully it works for me.

Thank you so much. I'm going to try to go back to the basicsof for 10 days, then weigh in hoping to lose the 15 pounds in 10 days afterwards back to protein and veggies

How are you going with it

I'm doing great!! I only have 4 more pounds to go!! I did incorporate intermittent fasting as well. Not eating before 11am and nothing after 7pm but I'm constantly drinking water which helps me stay super full
