The 5 Day Pouch Test by Kaye Bailey Does my pouch still work? Have I broken my pouch? Have I ruined my tool? These are questions many weight loss surgery post-ops find themselves asking occasionally during their journey. Perhaps it feels like we can eat more food or we know that we are eating more food. Sometimes these questions are asked when there has been a weight regain. This is the 5-day plan that I have developed and used to determine if my pouch is working and return to that tight newbie feeling. And a bonus to this plan, it helps one get back to the basics of the weight loss surgery diet and it triggers weight loss. Also, it is not difficult to follow and if you are in a stage of carb-cycling it will break this pattern. Sounds pretty good, right? Order the 5 Day Pouch Test Owner's Manual The 5 Day Pouch Test should never leave you feeling hungry. You can eat as much of the prescribed menu as you want during the day to satiate hungry and prevent snacking on slider foods and/or white carbs. You must drink a minimum of 64 ounces of water each day. A reduction of caffeinated beverages is suggested, but do not stop caffeine cold turkey. Weight loss is not the intent of the 5 Day Pouch Test, however, many who have tried this plan report a significant drop in weight. More importantly they celebrate a renewed sense of control over their pouch and eating habits and easily transition back to a healthy post-surgical weight loss way of eating. Understanding Hunger, Appetite and Satiety Below you will find a brief list of the menu for each day. Please click the "Read more" links for further detail and hints and tips that will enable your success with the 5 Day Pouch Test. Days One & Two: Liquid Protein low-carb protein shakes, broth, clear or cream soups, sugar-free gelatin and pudding. Read more.

Well didn't meet my goal checking in @ 282 only lost 2 lbs this month

So I went to the doctor office today which is at a different location, but with the same doctor but different nurses and they put in 1cc making it 4cc in my band. When I previously had my fills I was only told to wait a few hours then I could eat solid food. But when I went to the doctors office today they told me 2 days on liquids 1 day on soft food then I could have solids. That's what I'm talking about nurses who know ****.... :D

I have only 3cc in my band and NO restriction at all can't wait until I hit that restriction mark

Thank you! I will because that's my 30th bday You have a happy new years too

I've been feeling like I can be doing better, far as eating,going to gym more , and etc. But my kids childcare provider told me today that I was looking a little smaller than I was since the last time she had seen me which was 2 months ago. And it put a smile on my face . Feel great when others notice your weight loss.
