5 day pouch/weight gain

[chickadee81 0]

A question for any of you who have done the 5 day pouch test. My husband has been out of town and I have had a nasty cold and not really hungry nor can I taste much...so I figured what a perfect time to do the pouch test! I had been stuck/plateaued for a while. During liquids I lost weight FAST! Like 6lbs fast...now that I am finally incorporating some food back in (and good food too) I have noticed that I gained almost 4 of it back :smile:. Have any of you experiened this??

I gained all the 7 lbs I lost on the pouch test back. I don't know why it happens that way?

This sounds to me like a fad diet, and I had the lap band because I don't want to do them any more. Like all fad diets, it sounds great, you lose weight quickly, and then it all jumps back on.

Thanks for the postings to explain the 5 day pouch test . . . but, please tell me what the purpose is --- to see what gives you trouble, gets stuck, leaves you hungry, fills you up, etc.

thanks again.
