Has anyone try the 5 day pouch test after being sleeved ? I am 10 mo out and need help to get back on track HELP!!!!

From what I understand, we don't have pouches. We have a sleeve. (RnYers have the pouch.) I'd say that you should go back to logging your food 100%, shoot for 85 grams of protein a day and about 1000-1200 calories. Protein first is still the rule. I have a 40 gram protein shake for breakfast every day. I know some doctors' plans want the patients to move to food only for protein, but I have found that I prefer to have the shake. (And my doctor has given me the green light.) The shake also lets me multi-task while getting ready for work.

no profile/ticker (hint, hint )

have you gained???

how much wt do you need to lose????

inquiring minds (and nosey me ) want to know!!!!

actual "official" #s are not really the issue

the important thing is you are back on the right track now!!!

you had major surgery 10 months ago - maybe slipped up a bit

but you know you must (you will!!) get back to the issues/rules at hand

"maybe" go on a liquid diet for a few days to give you a jump start

Protein shake(yum yum ) et al

then back to yogurt, cottage cheese et al

small portions, chew thoroughly

since you are getting back on the horse, i would keep my calorie count on the low side for a bit

do/can you still see your NUT or doc for help/advice???

go to a support group

what have you got to "LOOSE"???

always gives me motivation

might work for you, hearing other situations

hearing from newbies and their early struggles

swap your stories too, you'll get more involved IMO with the "life of the sleeve"

we/you will/must live this life for the rest of our healthier, happier, longer lives

i think the Water rules are the most important, and can be the hardest at times to follow

stop drinking about 30 minutes before you eat

NEVER, EVER, EVER drink with your meals (people have been shot for less )

after you eat, don't drink for around 45 minutes

drink 64+ oz of H20 a day

have you been watching the boards still???

if not..........keep reading about, ask more questions

being 10 months PO - you can spread some of your wisdom around too for NEWBIES et al

we can't ever forget this is a FOREVER deal we made with the devil!!! (or angel :wub: )

you can do this!!!!! i know you can!!!!!

one day at a time, right????

welcome back

good luck

Also, the pouches they create for the RnY patients are considerably smaller than the sleeve...just something to keep in mind.
