Pouch Reset/Back to Liquids?



Recommended Posts

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!

      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.
