Pouch Test



Recommended Posts

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.

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 have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
