Pouch Reset/Back to Liquids?

[redhead_che 824]

So I had a terrible few days eating and gained a few pounds and needed to reset both my head and my pouch. So today, I started all liquids again. 3 Protein Shakes for the 3 meals of the day and then just flavored water in between.

Has anyone done a sleeve reset or gone back to liquids for a bit to refocus? If so, how long did you do it?

Thanks!

Sure, I used to reset monthly to clear out things that snuck back in, jumpstart a stall or ease constipation... Only for a few days max but my team was always on board with my plans. Any direction from yours?

Sorry you're having a rough patch girlie!!! ((hugs))

I think there are several "camps" with differing opinions on the value of the Liquid Protein reset. But you know? If you were a noob and didn't know what works for you, then I'd prolly jump in and give my 2 cents. But you aren't. You KNOW you. You know your needs.

I think there's nothing wrong with doing this like @GreenTealael said. It's basically a "protein" fast of sorts. Meh. NBD. Try it! If it works well for you, then you know it's a plan that can be a useful strategy for you down the road if necessary. If not, then you can always try diff things.

I started IFing when I felt like I was really slowing down on weight loss and losing my motivation and drive. Luckily for me Green, sillykitty and Matt were already doing IF and (so was Mr. F), so it made it easy. I really like it. Don't know if that could also be a tool for you down the road.

Let us know your results ok? Like if you feel your restriction better, if it stops your craving for contraband, and also the weight loss ok?

Wish I had 1st hand knowledge of doing it so I could share!
