How do i get my pouch smaller again?

I think I stretched my stomach :(

I went trough a miscarriage and started eating more frequently and also eating to the point of feeling uncomfortable. I notice that I am able to eat much more and I would like to be able to eat less again. is there any way or anything we can do to shrink the pouch again? I have heard of a pouch test, ist it just to measure the capacity or it reduces again the capacity of the stomach?

Thanks

The pouch test really is to help you kick start your weightloss and to help get the carb monkey off your back. Once the stomach is stretched I do not think it can shrink (as before surgery).

Have you stopped losing weight? Or has it just slowed down? You will eventually need to increase your calories when you go into maintenence mode to stop the losing process.

Possibly start tracking your food again. Get Protein first. Keep carbs to a minimum and get a minimum of 8 glasses of Water a day. I personally drink 10 -12 glasses a day and it really helps with the keeping me from snacking. I just drink water instead of a snack.

You can find the the 5 day pouch diet by just putting it into google but personally I think eating dense Protein and really limiting carbs will do

the same thing.

I notice on some days I get full really fast and some days I feel like I can eat more. Do not eat to the point of being uncomfortable anymore!
