Pouch diet/jenny craig

Options
I've never heard of this. What is the pouch diet?

I have another question. To lose the 13 pounds I have to lose, I thought of going to Jenny Craig weight loss clinic. I had been on it for 2 weeks, when I realized you have to eat 6 times a day. I realized this is too much. It's not made for those of us who have had weight loss surgery.

    @capecodgirl50 pouch diet is a WLS myth that it will "reset" your pouch (vsg really isn't a pouch anyway). You basically eat a bunch of processed shakes and crap for 3, 5 or 10 days and it supposedly will magically reset your pouch. It's total BS.

    I would try not to worry about weight. You don't "have to" lose any. The goal is health, I would assume? Focus on good habits. If your body wants to lose more weight it will. I personally haven't weighed since January 1. That number on scale means very little to me.

    And eating highly processed food from Jenny Craig would be terrible for your body.

    As it turns out you were correct. Didn't work. I now have cut out all of the sweets I was eating. Since the last time I posted, I have lost 10 pounds. I have 5 more to go to meet my goal.
