August 2009 Sleever - Going To Do Pouch Test

UGH..........

So I am back. The lowest I got down to was 138 lbs. I was really happy at that weight. Then I started to gain, slowly. I was stressed over things in my life and was grazing and eating things I should NEVER eat, like Pop Tarts, cookies, etc. Guess what? I gained a ton back.

I am going to start the 5 day pouch test tomorrow. Hopefully that will get me on track again. I miss my tiny stomach. cryin.gif

You can do this! Forgive yourself and make a fresh start. Do Lilmissdivas basics boot camp! Its really more suited for sleevers it seems like. Its pinned under another post op vsg q&a. Good Luck! We got your back!

I agree. I lost close to 7 lbs in 4.5 days doing the Basics Boot Camp...

Thanks so much guys. I am going to definitely consider her plan. I actually don't feel like my sleeve is "broken" or stretched. I feel like I am out of control with my eating, well as out of control as one can be with a sleeve, but still. I am gaining so that means things are not good. I agree with her that the carb monster is the problem. I am eating too many carbs.

I was heartbroken entering my weight in my ticker. It was REALLY difficult coming back and saying I had a major slip but I knew I had to or I was going to gain it all back. I appreciate the words of support.

Hey Downinsocal...

You can defo do this... remember the sleeve is tool for LIFE! It might not be as easy as the first time around... but you can do it!

Good luck with the carb monster. I did the 5 day pouch test this time last year, and it defo helped with cravings... a good start to get you back into the groove!

Good luck and keep us posted in your progress...=]

I was just recently reading this as I had my sleeve back in september of 2012 and I have also gone the wrong way for the last year, and I'm trying to get back on track for two weeks with great results up until now. I read about the pouch test back then but I can't recall. What is the 5 Day Pouch Test? Can anyone please tell me?
