Hello Everyone:

I haven't been on in a long time. Recap: I had the gastric sleeve on 10/17/11 and lost 110 lbs. My starting weight was 250 and I know weight about 150. My lowest weight was 140. I gained back 10 lbs. My actual goal weight is 130. It has been a struggle to get to my goal weight but now I frustrated because I have gained back 10 lbs. I want to nip this in the bud now before it gets out of control.

I looking for help. I have noticed I am craving carbs big time and seem to always be hungry. It is probably because I added coffee, bread (wheat) and Pasta back in some of my meals. Not a lot but I think enough to trigger the carb cravings. I can eat a little more than when I was first sleeved but I stick can't finish a meal. I always have to eat an appetizer size meal.

Please any suggestions you have to help me please, because I want to control my cravings, hungry and lose to get to my goal weight of 130 lbs. I was thinking about trying the 5 day pouch test. Has anyone tried and it and did it work.

Thanks looking forward to help.

Im thinking of trying the 5:2 diet. here is a link that tells about it and there are forums here about it, also

Message me. I will tell you how I lost 19.4 lbs in the 7 weeks before surgery and still doing it.

I'm not going to advertise on here, but if you want to know what is helping me tremendously, send me a private message.

Curious... Why do you ask people to pm you for this miracle? Why not share it with all?

And why have the sleeve if it works so good?

I just wrote this in another thread but it seems to fit here too

About your diet. I don't think you need to get extreme and do only liquids or a pouch test...

The fact of the matter you still have the sleeved stomach and you can put it to work again by eating right. This is the hardest part I know, because when I fall off the wagon it's so hard to get back on. But you need to detox from the carbs and just go back the basics dense Protein and veggies

Eat till you are satisfied and keep the carbs at bay. It will be tough for a few days to a week but with determination you can do it!

I started it pre op to try to lose weight before surgery, per doctor's instructions. I have gone thru trying to get approved by insurance for 10 years, so after all that, I was getting it done! Lol.

I'm 7 months post op. I asked about the 5 day pouch test. She highly encouraged me to do it to lose the 3 pounds I need to lose to get to 100 pounds lost. She said its a FANTASTIC way to get back on track when the carb monster has gotten out of control!

What is the 5-day pouch test?

What is the pouch test and where can I find it. Maybe it would help me with this stall
