One year post surgery pouch reset

[raynay05 56]

Has anyone tried the pouch reset diet? I’m stalled and feel like I need to reset so I can get my portions back smaller.

How is it so far?

I mini reset every month. I'm only 9 months out but once a month I take a few days I go right back to the beginning, cleans my (already clean) diet up further and makes me want to eat less. I must include I really punch up the Water intake during these periods. Good luck!

Try cleaning the diet up first before you reset , sometimes its all you really need.

1st day wasn’t too bad but today has been a struggle. I’ve been having bad mood swings from craving carbs.

The various reset diets seem to be of dubious value in that they work from the premise that we since we lost like gangbusters right after surgery when we were (mostly) on a liquid diet, that if we go back to a liquid diet we should lose like gangbusters again. Reality check here is that those of us who were never on a liquid diet also lost like gangbusters right after surgery - so it isn't the liquid part that is doing anything.

The approach that seems to work better for most is just to go back to a basic meat and green veg diet to clean out whatever crap that has crept back into your the diet and to reset your mind.
