[jstachic 61]

hello all

had my swallow test this morning radiologist Dr didn't want to take a chance with barium, had an allergic reaction in the past, so I had to use something else starts with a G I think but I call it rocket fuel it is real nasty stuff. he said I do have acid reflux. will find out more soon my appointment with bariatric Dr is March 3rd

I'm currently taking Bariatric Fuel Multivitamins, zinc, Biotin, CVS calcium chews and B-12.

My stomach has been so sick since the swallow test, it will not digest properly, becoming painful at times, afraid to leave the house, or eat , yup it's that bad

[Nomoreweight 1]

I was wondering if someone could tell me what the 5 day pouch test is? I am 3 1/2 years post surgery and was doing great until the last year and I am very afraid I heading into gaining all my weight back. I just never thought I would gain the weight back. Anyone out there having a similar problem?

Nomore...ME! Many of us here. What'll the pouch test tell u? What s7rgery did u have?

[SthrnChic 2]

Nomoreweight and reallyrosy, how much do u exercise and do u follow the diet strictly? Important to me because im still pre-op...

Guys, google "5 day pouch test". You'll find what you need.

[jstachic 61]

Yes, but the pouch test dosnt prove anything or help the re started bad habits , in my experience anyway

[reallyrosy 161]

Agreed re pouch test. You lose and regain. This sucks

I have really good success with the 5:2 diet. Mondays and Thursdays I eat as little as possible. You're supposed to try for 500 calories but I usually go over and it's about 700. 12 hours between last meal and first meal, longer if possible. I have almonds at 10pm so I can't eat Breakfast until 10, longer if possible.

The other days I eat low carb . I lost all of my regain doing this before, and kept it off for 2 years but last year I had back surgery and could not exercise and the holidays and my birthday bla bla bla I gained back 15 and have lost 5 of it.

not confident when i gain weight i will get rid of it.

@@reallyrosy

eeeek bud

don't think that way

KNOCK IT OFF

if you (or me) gain a few lbs

say to yourself you WILL loose the weight again

that's the only way to go

it might take a little longer, that doesn't matter

you will get there

remember this is a marathon - not a sprint

saying oh no - weight won't go back down

might as well eat more again

gain more, oh well!!

Stop Stop those bad feelings

otherwise i must come over and slap you

i know where you live!! !!!! LOL

you must have confidence in yourself

I have faith in you

you must have it for yourself too!!! (please bud)

you can get back on the right track

you know what to do

now get with it!!! smirk, smirk

good luck my friend

I'm 3 1/2 years post op and I've gained 20 pounds in 1 1/2 years. I've been doing 16:8 and I haven't lost an ounce. I'm scared nothing is going to work! ID love some insight...
