Here's the website. As for should we be doing it...the first line on the site says it all: Have you lost control of your weight loss surgery tool?

Generally when it is suggested that someone does a pouch test, it's because that person has fallen away from what they're supposed to be doing and this is just a good way to get them back to it.

When I found myself losing my way, I did a cleansing fast for 3 days. I think it's whatever works for you.

Hi Elfie,

Thank you! I was just curious what this was all about. So cool that this is an option for us if we get to that point!!

Hi Melissa. I actually did the pouch test (Thursday of last week to Monday) and I did notice a bit of a difference. I really wasn't making bad choices, but started to have cravings, so I thought it would be a good detox method to get me back to basics. Not only that, I can definitely tell I'm staying fuller longer for some reason. My portion sizes as I mentioned yesterday were quite small except for lunch which was about 10 ounces, but we'll see how today goes.

I will say that it helped to move the scale for me. I was stuck at 184-185 and kept playing the roller coaster game to 182-183. I weighed in this morning at 180 (Monday was 181), so I'm going to hold onto this for dear life LOL!

WOOHOO!!!!! That's awesome! I am hoping that this fill did the trick to help getting me moving DOWN on the scale again. I wasn't gaining (thank goodness) but I had only lost 2 pounds since October and since Friday, I am down 3 more!!! YAY! So excited! Keep up the good work! You are seriously rockin that scale! :thumbup:

Do you have to buy the pouch test manual to do the test? Is that how it's done? I saw it in the 5daypouchtest.com

No, I just followed the instructions on the site and I have to say, it worked for me :-)! Good luck!
