So I’ve been stalled for a few weeks.
Starting a 10 day pouch reset tomorrow morning. It’ll be a good way to refocus myself. Anyone else doing one currently? I’d love some support

Check into Intermittent Fasting (IF), seems a little soon after surgery to need a pouch reset, unless you've been eating really badly. a few of us have been doing IF with some great results!

I guess it isn’t technically a reset, just a recommitment to myself. I haven’t been “eating really badly” I just know I’ve had some foods here and there that I probably shouldn’t.

Stalls happen when you body is working through the new diet changes. Are you consuming upwards of 128 oz of water a day at this point? Lack of water *WILL* cause a stall, this is because your body needs water to process fat, it also needs it for it's day to day hydration and other processing, like cleaning your blood. So if we short change our daily minimums fat loss suffers.

Also, if you are consuming very low amounts of calories, this can also cause stagnation in weight loss as your body tries to hold onto the tiny amount it's getting. So, there are a lot of things happening on a cellular and hormonal level because of the weight loss that cause the body to take a pause and reassess itself.

Just for understanding, doing a reset procedure is totally fine to do, I was just curious as the reasons and wanted to make sure you had more options. IF is working very well and it's free and doesn't require any intake amount changes, just intake timeline changes. I'm doing an 8am to 6pm IF, so I only eat between 8am and 6pm. I do have my coffee every morning around 5-515, but that's really it, the bulk of my caloric intake happens between 8 and 6. I've broken 2 major stalls with IF and since starting it up consistently, I've been on a really great downward trend in my weight, even taking 3 days off to go camping and eating more than I normally would do and gaining 2 lbs in doing so, I'm back to my pre-weekend weight in only 2 days of IF.

Thanks for the info. However, I am doing the reset under the supervision of my nutritionist so I feel confident in my choice.

I second the increase in water consumption.

You can also mini reset, which is simply go back to cleaner foods from soft phase on and work the progression. I used to do this every month to make sure my diet was pristine until I started the Intermittent fasting protocol
