5 day pouch reset



Recommended Posts

I am back after a few years off. Got a slight fill about 3 weeks ago, going back next week for another. I came across the 5 day pouch reset. I have never heard of this, although my drs nutritionist said I could go on a 2 week liquid diet for 2 Weeks. I was thinking it would be good to reset my pouch. I have not had too much restriction in a couple years at least and have dieted by doing south beach diet to maintain. I am going to start tomorrow and I'm excited at starting this journey once again!

This five day pouch reset or test that I have been reading about online thanks to your post sounds very much like what my Dr. advises after a fill.

I also have found that when I lose track and I start munching on things mindlessly it helps to go back to this regimine to get me back on track again. It's also good when I have a crazy day and I might be in a place where I won't be able to make good choices or they aren't readily available.

I don't think it's a negative thing, your getting all your Protein, Vitamins, and it's easy to track the calorie count. Seems like a win win for me.

Since it has been so long, I was kinda wondering if there was any way I may have stretched my pouch. I think its best to know where it actually is before I get a fill and to make it as effective as possible! I am having my morning coffee now with my sugar free Creamer. Have my almond milk and low carb 25 grams Protein Shakes for later. Plus sugar free Jello and a couple Soups for later. I am really excited to start over! Thanks for the encouragement :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
