AtlantaGirl 9 Posted July 16, 2020 I gained some weight during quarantine (not too much, but a little), so my nutritionist suggest I do a pouch reset. I am on day 3 and it is kinda tough. I have lost about 3 pounds. Has anyone had success with the pouch reset? Did you find after that you ate smaller portions? Just wondering what other people had tried this. Thanks in advance! Hope everyone is staying well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jo..di 0 Posted July 16, 2020 Did you stretch your stomach? Can you eat a lot of food now and that’s why you want to do a reset or you’re just doing it as a diet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mi75 1,235 Posted July 17, 2020 tried them MANY times after my regain 2 yrs post op. It never worked for me. I had to finally focus and get real and get back to the basic food list. I essentially went back to dense Protein, no carbs etc. worked like a charm. 1 catwoman7 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It does not seem to do be doing anything helpful at all. Going back to high Protein, very low carb is probably going to just be most effective for me as well. I went totally off the wall during the quarantine with foods. Just need to get back on track! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
