I decided to do the 5 day pouch reset. For breakfast I had a coffee with sugar free creamer, lunch was blended split pea soup, blended white beans, dinner was blended lentils and a low carb chocolate shake with almond milk. I have had 2- 24 ounces of water with a Lil crystal light. I feel a Lil cranky but otherwise fine. I'm excited to get my bandie functioning at optimum capacity. I have a fill appt. Next week also. What have been your experiences? I'm wondering if the fill I got 3 weeks ago will "kick in" with doing this and if I will still need a fill.

What is the 5 day pouch reset??? Could someone explain this?? Thanks in advance

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....

Look at my post about 3 posts above. The link will take you to the site.

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?
