I am wondering if there is anyone here that is on a plateau that would like to do the 5 day pouch test with me?!? I need all the encouragement I can get. Last week I weighed in at 180 and today my scale is trying to lie to me and tell me that I weigh 191 which is an 11 lb gain......I'm going crazy because I feel like I'm doing everything right except maybe getting in all my Protein so that's why I'm trying to find a buddy to do the 5 day pouch test with me!!

I am new to the forum, but not new to WLS. I am almost exactly 3 years post op. After having a baby a year ago I have out on 10 pesky pounds that I am having problems shedding plus I'd like to lose another 5 to hit my all time goal weight of 125 pounds. I have read lots about the 5 day pouch test & believe it is a great way to go. It comes highly recommended from several friends. I am gearing up to start it on 4/23 and am very hopefully it will curb my carb cravings and give me that tight pouch feeling again. Feel free to join me. I need a partner in accountability because I don't get dumping syndrome & can eat anything and everything I want. Which is why it is crucial to not let these 10 pounds turn into 15 then 20 and so on.

The 5 day pouch test is when you want to check and see if your pouch has stretched or quit working. It's a 5 day diet designed to help you take control back & get back on course. Google Kaye Bailey & The 5 day pouch test. There is a website but the book goes into way more detail.

      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.
