5 or 10 Day Pouch Reset



Recommended Posts

Has anyone tried the 5 or 10 day pouch reset? Essentially it is the below, and is supposed to mimic the first few weeks after the surgery to reset the pouch and get you back on track, but on a smaller scale.

Days 1 & 2: liquid Protein
low-carb Protein shakes, broth, clear or cream Soups, sugar-free Gelatin and pudding.

Day 3: Soft Protein
canned fish (tuna or salmon) eggs, fresh soft fish (tilapia, sole, etc)

Day 4: Firm Protein
ground meat (turkey, beef, chicken, lamb), shellfish, scallops, lobster, fresh salmon or halibut.

Day 5: Solid Protein
white meat poultry, beef steak, pork, lamb, wild game

Or 10 day - which is same concept spread out. [Day 1 - Clear liquids only. Day 2 and 3 Full liquids. Day 4 to 6 pureed foods. Day 7 to 9 Soft foods.

Day 10 and Beyond Normal diet]
I need to get back on track with losing, portion size control, no snacking, etc. so I was wondering if anyone did this and if so, if it worked.
Thanks!

I can see how following that plan would help getting back on track, but what do you mean by pouch reset? Sleeves don't have a pouch. I must have missed something.

I prefer the five day meat test. Eat all meat and animal products for five days, no processed meats though. If you want to feel restriction and really cut back on your caloric intake, the five day meat test is the way to go.

Alternately, restrict yourself to meat and green veggies only, to add a little Fiber in.

I mean the sleeve, some call it a pouch on google but you get the point! Essentially just a stomach reset lol

I just came off the 10 day pouch reset diet featured on http://www.obesitycoverage.com/the-pouch-reset-losing-weight-after-weight-regain/

I followed it to a tee, I did not waiver on anything or go off track. While weight loss is not the intention of the diet, I did lose 4 pounds. There is a lot of controversy as to whether this works. I do believe it worked for me. At lunch yesterday, my meal was supposed 1 cup Soup and 5 broccoli spears. At 3 broccoli spears and 1/4 of the soup, I could feel the sensation of fullness. Last month I would have pushed through and finished it. But the feeling of fullness was much stronger than it has been in a long time. I plan to continue eating 3 meals and 2 Snacks, and lots of liquids. My portions are going to go back to the size of my palm - Protein and veggies. And limit starches. Hope it works as well for anyone else who wants to try it!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
