Pouch Test

Ok so I understand the whole pouch test theory but if I can't make myself stay away from bad foods now, how will I do it for the pouch test?

God I feel like I'm beginning to fail

I tried the pouch test. The good thing about it is there is no calorie limit. You can drink/eat as much as you want. You do not have to be hungry. But yes, you do have to plan ahead so you always know where your next meal is coming from. For me, it was just like the preop diet in that sense, except easier because my food issues were much more under control.

I feel the same way! I've neve tried th pouch test! Are you going to try soon??? Maybe we could do it together???

I think I will wait till next week after thanksgiving is over!

Ok what is the pouch test?

Google it. But basically it's a tool to help post sleevers who have stalled or developed bad eating habits. Its kinda like a reduced post op eating plan. 2 days liquids, 1 day mushies, 1 day soft foods. It's function (in my eyes) is to help break a pattern of bad eating habits while shrinking the sleeve to give back some of that early restriction that gradually goes away over time. I broke a good stall using it.

I was going to start today but can do an extra day of liquids for you to catch up.

okay folks, keep us updated. I am really curious to see if this works.

Omg today is the day for full liquids... Omg!!!!!! I'm so nervous!! Asking for a prayer from u guys!! I can do this for two days!!!! I did it for two weeks pre op:) wish me luck!

Hey. I had a large decaf coffee this morning with skim milk and sweet and low. Then had some turkey chili for lunch (which was gross). A large decaf coffee again after that. And then some Soup for dinner. I also had a sugar free pudding.

So didnt totall do liquids but I tried. Tomorrow going to mushy.

Lost three pounds though! Broke a one month stall!!
