I'm starting the 5 day pouch test.. Because I fell off the wagon pretty hard since June. Has Anyone out there tried this? What do you think?

I don't know what that is

Me neither, what is it?

I found this when I was looking on the internet

Today is actually my first day trying this to. So far I just keep thinking of all the food I want to eat!!! It is very hard for me because I have to constantly be in the kitchen making food for my 3 yr old! But so far I have had 1 protein shake, 2 cups of water, and 2 small cups of coffee! I think when it comes time for dinner I am going to play with my hair and makeup or something lol.. I don't think I can be strong enough to stay away from food on my own!!

Oh and the 5 day pouch test is where you shrink your pouch back up by starting with your surgery basics. 2 days of all liquids, 1 day of soft protein, 1 day of reg. protein and then 1 day of dry hard protein. It seems like it would be easy.. but it is def not!

wow I haven't heard of this before. Do u think your pouch has gotten bigger? Have u started gaining weight?

I do think that my pouch has gotten bigger. I don't get that full feeling anymore.. not at all! I have been really bad though, and I have gained 10lbs! I was at 145 and now I am at 155!!! so I really need to re evaluate the way I have been doing things. It gets out of control before you even realize it! Its a pretty scary thing.. so that is why im doing the pouch reset. I hope it works. I also just had major back surgery.. so because of that and being stuck on the couch for 2 months.. all I did was eat and I wasn't able to exercise...

Let me know how you do! I'm in the exact same situation as you.. It gets out if control quickly! I keep thinking of good too!! I'm going to go for a walk and watch the Pirate game! Good luck to you! We can do this

I want to try this! I've had a HARD last 3 months due to some personal life crap. I've lost weight but no means how I wanted. No gym for like a month even then I wasn't doing what I needed to. Eating poorly when I could eat. Not enough water..... Just all around bad! I don't feel full or hungry. I need a major reset!

Still haven't broke 200 yet. I'm struggling big time and need some new motivation.

May start this tomorrow.

I started this today too! I about killed someone for food at lunch!!

I'm trying this soon. I'm so glad you posted about it.

My pouch stretched and I gained like 45lbs in a year. I just had a revision on 9-30. I don't feel hungry but I can drink like crazy and don't feel full.

I made homemade potato soup for the fam bam... and I was only sipping on the broth.. then this evil food starved demon came out of me and ate not 1 but 2 bowls!!!!! gees;.... im so upset with myself!! anyhoot I am going to do it again today.. I didn't mess up to bad.. but still I messed up bad enough! So I am going to have to even stricter on myself today.. which wont be to hard since its just the kiddos and I tonight.
