November 21, 201213 yr 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
November 21, 201213 yr I feel the same way! I've neve tried th pouch test! Are you going to try soon??? Maybe we could do it together???
November 21, 201213 yr 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.

November 21, 201213 yr 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.
November 22, 201213 yr Alright ladies we should try together next week... Support each other??? What y'all think ? I sure need it!
