Count me in for today ! April Th .
I'm starting out with yogurt , grandkids are still asleep and I don't want to wake them with my mixer making my protein. So that is going to be either my snack or lunch . But realy I'm glad you suggested this because I need to get back on track before summer .
And I'm so surprised at how many are joining in !!!

Please note. This is for those WHO ARE AT LEAST A YEAR out, preferably two or more, and AT GOAL weight, have slacked and lost the "feel" of the pouch.
You are ONLY 6 MONTHS out, and not yet at goal, this is NOT what you should do. You are at a stage where you need to consolidate your new eating habits and new life style, learn to stick to YOUR SURGEON's rules--I'm sure 5DPT is NOT in your surgeon's program.
Also important is that doing something like this can be your OLD DIET MENTALITY--a quick fix for something you think that can be fixed easily. Here again, the most important thing to do is to establish a NEW EATING STYLE, a NEW LIFESTYLE. Weight loss surgery is NOT A DIET, it's a NEW LIFESTYLE. This can't be stressed enough.

I do not say anything to those who are long enough out, and who's weight is stable, or, gaining and need to get back the "feel" of the pouch, but, I will say, DO NOT DO THIS to those who do not meet the conditions I have stated--more than a year out, preferably two, and at goal. nelie-baby, you are not yet at the stage to jump in and give it a go.

i realize this is an old post but wondered if someone could explain this pouch test and what exactly is it testing for?

check the first couple pages of this thread, there is a pretty good breakdown with links. it's fairly simple.


I'm on day 2. It's been easier than I expected so far. I remember how tough the first few days were of my liquid diet pre-op, but I guess it makes perfect sense why it was tougher back then! I must say though, I'm looking very forward to eggs and canned meat tomorrow!
