What is a “Pouch Reset?”
A pouch reset is a short-term, high-protein, low volume diet to recalibrate your hunger point. Pouch reset diets normally mimic the standard Post-Op 4-Phase Diet, which progresses you from clear liquids to solid foods during the early months following your surgery.
However, you’ll be glad to hear that our dietitians don’t see much merit in making you go through the all liquids and pureed meats phases again. You’re welcome 🙂
Why it works:
In the 6 months following your surgery, there’s a considerable amount of inflammation and healing. As swelling subsides, your pouch will settle on a size of around 1.5 ounces for RNY Gastric Bypass and 5-6 ounces for Sleeve Gastrectomy. After this “settling period” there is no permanent pouch stretching, so the “Pouch Reset” diet isn’t doing anything to change the size of the pouch.
Rather the goal is to recalibrate the feeling you get when you eat certain amounts of food. By restricting the volume of food you eat for a significant period of time, you can effectively lower the point at which you feel full.
A proper Pouch Reset Diet will provide you with low calories and low volume while providing your body adequate protein to maintain your muscle and keep you full.
Hunger Decreases Throughout the Pouch Reset
Throughout the 2 Week Pouch Reset Plan your body becomes accustomed to the smaller amount of food. By the end of the 2 weeks you will have a lower “hunger point” so you can now stick to your diet without having to battle hunger like you did prior to the pouch reset.
