So excited this morning. I have been working out daily as well as really watching my diet. However, for 4 weeks straight i only lost a total of 1 pound, and last week gained 7 pounds. Of course I assumed TOM was here and this was probably due to that.. but i knew i wasnt due. So I continued to work out, upping my cardio an additional 15minutes pass the hour i usually do but instead of my normal diet, began a full liquid (sorta like the preop diet) on Sunday. I was reading up on the 5 day pouch test and figured I'd give it a try. I stepped on the scale Sunday and was 192.5.... Yesterday evening after my workout i was 188.5... This morning I was a flat out 186 pounds. All i kept saying is that i have 3 more days of this and tho i do get the cravings (and will snack on about 10 cheez its), the benefits of it are definitely worth it and my pouch definitely still works. hopefully I can get to 180 by this Sunday. *Fingers crossed*... If anyone is dealing with a stall, I highly recommend the 5 day pouch test. it has re-motivated me!!!!

Great job! Those stalls are no fun at all! My husband doesnt have the sleeve but is just working out and dieting along side me and he has hit a big stall and I had to tell him that it will all work out just be patient. I have seen too many of them over the past 9 months not to totally understand the frustration that comes with it. I did the little divas boot camp once during and stall and it broke it too but then I stalled again! haha It does come off, just take one day at a time and let your body work things out! Keep up the good work!

I have been thinking in trying this 5 day pouch again.. is the weight loss permanent or do you gain some back after the

Princessita did you drink the protein shakes or just stick to clear liquids on day one and two.
