Well I'm tired of loosing almost nothing since Christmas because of my munchies and Chocolate addiction! I started the 5 Day pouch test today, sure hope it helps! So far so good, have made it more than 1/2 way through the day, if I can just get through tomorrow (Day 2) then I should be okay! :blushing: Has anyone else had any success with this curbing your cravings and bumping you back on track? Also, any recommendations or suggestions on this?

I love the 5 day pouch test. When I did it I nearly lost 3 kg because I wasnt eating well before I guess. It helped kick my sugar cravings and I ate so much better after. Check out my blog

I did the test in January and think it is a great way to get back on track :blushing:

I sooo love the 5-day pouch test. It knocked me out of a 3-week plateau, definitely shrunk my pouch and made me curb my cravings. You will definitely feel a difference! I actually had sugar free vanilla pudding, a tbsp of cool whip and a scoop of chocolate Protein powder throughout days 1 and 2. It got me right!! Good luck!

Thanks for your response Julian. I'm on day 3 now and can't believe how much better I feel already! Not hungry, already feeling restriction again, and like you said...not craving anything! This is an amazing thing! So glad it was recommended to me! Oh, and I've lost 3 pounds already since my first day! :wink2:

Hi Tracy, you can just google the "5 Day Pouch Test" and it'll bring it up. It's a 5 day diet that kind of simulates the first six weeks of eating after a lapband or WLS. It's purpose is to cleanse and detox your system and shrink your pouch so that you get that restriction once again. It also helps curb your cravings for carbs and sweets! I've talked to a lot of people that say it helped get them off a long plateau, kinda kick starts things again! I was loosing an average of 10-12 pounds a month until Christmas and have lost 6 pounds since then...CHOCOLATE!!! I was so addicted to it, Haven't even wanted any for the last couple of days and I've already lost 3 pounds in 3 days on this diet! Hoping it lasts and I continue to loose...maybe not quite so fast but at least a slow steady! Good luck with whatever you decide to do!

Thanks for posting this. I was banded July 2, 2009, and am down 55 or so pounds. I recently have put on a few pounds, I was down 60 pounds. Now that I have learned unconciously how to eat around the band I am ready to rev up my weight loss again. I will be starting the 5 day pouch test tomorrow 3-17. Thanks again, good luck everyone. I would love and appreciate any new ideas to help me get back on track. God Bless!

I am not at my sweet spot yet. I have between 3.5 and 4 cc's in a 10 cc band. Will the 5 day pouch test work? Or will I be starving? lol
