Just wondering if anyone has done the 5 day pouch test & if so, what their results were.

Haven't tried it bc I'm still losing and following guidelines.... Just am now getting to the GREEN. But, I saved this website as a possible future reference..... Thanks and Good Luck!

I did but it's not intended for banders. This is mostly for Bypass patients. I bought a kindle form of the book and most of it does not apply to banders.

I'm going to go on it the first of next week as a way to clean out the system and restart my spring body cleaning.

I was thinking of it as an annual preventative maintenance thing...

I'm planning a spring cleanse -- fresh juices (beet, carrot, ginger), maybe the shake I used for my pre-op which is intended for liver cleansing....need to start getting my head wrapped around the idea and target number of days, etc. then keep our calendar free for that time. A few years ago I did a 21-day juice fast and that was amazing. Of course I lost a bunch of weight but gained back even more on the predictable pre-band rebound. I'd like to do a shorter version now with the help of the band to keep me from regaining. It wouldn't be about weight loss this time but more about the liver and just general health. There are people who do periodic fasting, like once a week. Sometimes I wonder if that would be a good model for me. Happy spring every one -- it's definitely on the way!
