Pouch test ???? What is that

Julie

It's basically going back to the post op stages to restart your weight loss. Most people lose 5-10 pounds during the test

Sheesh' date=' they owe you a free movie pass or something!![/quote']

The Dr called me Monday to apologize and smooth the waters. He had an emergency in the operating room, which I figured. He said that the whole appt. was handled wrongly and they would be making some changes. My respect for him went back up!

I'm glad your surgeon owned up to the mistakes! Patient satisfaction has become really important for insurance reimbursement amounts this year, so it is good that doctors are stepping up.

It was as if a switch turned off for me at the 6 month mark, and I only lost 2 lbs the whole month of May. I really upped my exercise, and now I will cautiously say I am losing again. I just hope it continues!

Try the 5 day pouch test. It's suppose to help get through stalls. Day 1 and 2 you do only Protein shakes and liquids Day 3 is soft Protein Day 4 is firm protein Day 5 is solid protein

I hear everyone talking about the 5 day pouch test will help break your stalls. Will it work if you are two years out? I have Lost 144lbs but I want to Lose more.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
