It's a 5 day diet to help WLS patients reset and get back in their groove. Not necessarily meant for lapband patients even though it says 5 day pouch test.

I'm a lap band patient and I would swear by it....do it every 6 weeks or so, and results area ways fantastic...can tell the difference every time....

My Dr. Who did my lap band...is the one who told me about it...although they don't call it a 5 day test...not sure where that came from....he recommends 2-3 days of all liquids to his patients who are finished loosing and on so calked "Maintence"

It will not give anyone something they did not have in the first place, but restore everything to point where things were working optimally....

I'm going for a fill tomorrow. I wish I would have done the 5 day pouch test before to see if I really needed one

Don't let the "5 day pouch test" title confuse you. She's referring to the pouch for gastric bypass. Taking the 5 day test is good for restarting or revitalizing your weight loss program but the process has little to do with our bands. It can help to shrink the pouch if it might be dilated a little but not much else.

Actually, getting a fill is the perfect time to take the test. You'll be on liquids for 24-48 hours anyway so why not start tomorrow?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
