Hey all! So I have started, well yesterday, doing the 5 day pouch test. Anyone doing it now? Thinking about doing it?

I think I maybe should try doing it, since I have been on a long stall. What exactly are the "rules"? I have seen the term around some posts, but not specific directions how to proceed.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

What is it?

I too have wondered about this. I am not really sure why it is done, or WHY I would want to do it. (Not being judgemental, just stating that this intrigues me, and I would love to hear from people as to why they did it.)

I am losing slow, but I often hear people using this tool to get back to the basics to gain control over their eating again.

My issue, as to why it may not help me, is

I do have an extremely healthy diet and follow a lot if not all the rul. ...... um ok, some I don't follow hehe

I am so curious about this.

How is it going for you, I would love to hear form you <3

I would probably do it, if it breaks my stall

Go for it... I have heard people argue against it but my personal opinion is that if it breaks your stall or helps you get back to the basics of why you had this surgery in the first place then it's a good idea.

Good luck and let us know how you go

Did it work for you Kristin?

The five day pouch test takes you through an abbreviated version of each post op food stage. My WLS team says there's no harm in it and it can help people get back on track or break a stall.
