Five Day Pouch Test



Recommended Posts

OK so, 3.5 years of this damn band (lol) and I just discovered Surgical Weight Loss 5 Day Pouch Test (thanks shoresexy!!!)

I am excited beyond WORDS. I was looking for something like this to help re-tune my pouch.

I have a fill scheduled on Friday June 6, and I'm still going to go whether this works or not and I'm back to being tight and full.

Anyway, if anyone else wants to do this along with me, I'm starting liquids today.

I'm sure I'll be posting by 4pm going "I WANT chicken WINGS" lol

I did the 5 day test before my last fill. It worked like a charm. I lost 3.5 pounds in 5 days, and my pouch was back in line for the fill. I highly recommend it. It wasn't that bad at all. Just prepare yourself for the ketosis and BAD BREATH. Yuck.

Thanks for the information about SWL 5 day Pouch test. I am newly banded (4/4/08) and was wondering about some low carb recipes and also wondering what Soups were OK to use when doing liquids after a fill. This website gave some great ideas, plus it's a great resource.

I just don't get filled or feel that I get enough substance with Tomato Soup. There are great deli Soups out there, but I want something a bit more healthy. Plus, they are extremely high in fat, sodium and calories.

Thanks, again

I have been off the wagon for far too long and I need a kick in the pants to get back on track. This is a perfect way to start...thanks!

Now I just need to start exercising again...

Please keep us posted and let us know how you are doing and what you are eating. I have been to the site livingafterwls many times but I did not know if the 5 day pouch test would work for lapband people or not. Good Luck

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
