For those of you who don't know if "your" LB is working for you or have had your band and are not losing weight, read this article and try this 5 day pouch test. Although I am restricted pretty good, I am going to take the test myself and report my results. I encourage you to do the same. They also have liquid Vitamins that was formulated by a band patient who basically had no energy by 5 in the evening, thus becoming a couch potato. Vitamins are important and I HATE chewable vitamins but have never 100% completely felt any different taking vitamins. I will try these as well and report my results. If you would like to do the same, you will see the BariCeutical Vitamins in the column to the right of the article and 5 day pouch test plan. Click and read about. It's pretty darn interesting. :cursing:

Surgical Weight Loss 5 Day Pouch Test

I don't see a link for this..............am I missing it?

Oops........never mind.............I do see it now. It just didnt view as a link for me.

Thanks

Hi! Thanks so much for posting this. I have not lost anything in the past week and a half. I have actually gained a pound. I know that doesn't sound bad, but for someone who is only almost 7 weeks out it can feel very discouraging. I have had my first fill of 2cc's and can not tell much difference in the restriction. This five day pouch test has given me a goal to set for myself and something to look forward to. I am going to start it today and will let you know in 5 days if I have gotten to know my pouch any better. Anybody else want to try this with me?

I will go on it with you! I was on it after the holidays with BooBooKitty and friends. I will tell you I lost about 3 lbs from doing it! I hate to admit it but I have not been doing what I am supposed to and have gained about 4 pounds in the last month. I am so mad at myself! :bananalama: I am going to start today! Keep me posted on how you are doing!!!

I also started today. I will keep you guys posted on how I do.

I did the pouch test the first week of January and lost 10# that month. It put me back on track. I highly recommend doing the test.
