getting another fill in a week should I do 5 day pouch test before hand?

On Nov. 4th I am getting another fill. I can eat to much at each meal and haven't lost any weight in a month. I do try to stick to 4 oz a meal but sometimes eat 5,6, or even 7 oz. Its all healthy food protein and vegetables or fruit. I was thinking it might be a good idea to do the 5 day pouch test before my next fill to get me back on track and make sure I haven't stretched my pouch.

Whats a five day pouch test???

Google 5 day pouch test Its a eating plan to get you back on track and to test your pouch so you feel full again

Ever since I was able to eat food, I think that I have eaten too much. Our plateau is the same. No weight loss in 4-5 weeks. I definately need to find out more about the pouch test.

I just got my 4th fill today. I didn't do the pouch test, but I essentially went on a self-imposed preop diet for the past week before my fill. I was eating a lot of junk, and it was a good way for me to get back on track. I have to do clear liquids for the next 3 days, and then full liquids for a couple days after that. I'm hoping when I can eat solid foods (it will have been about 2 weeks on liquids diet by then) I will have lost more weight and will also have the right amount of restriction (I feel like Im close)! Anyhow, I would go for the 5 day pouch test. If anything, it will help you get back to the basics. Good luck!

Yes, I think its a good idea I need to get back on track. I am going to start it fri-tomorrow. I need to detox from sugar and carbs.
