Congrats on weight loss, keep it up. and what is this pouch test? Out of all my research I've never heard of it. Banding in 2012. Whatever will help me lose this weight once banded, I'm interested.

I've done the 5-day pouch test several times, and I freakin' LOVE IT!!! When I feel myself getting out of control and falling off the wagon, it is just what I need to jumpstart myself back into weight loss mode. Works like a charm every time. I probably do it once every few months. It also gives your pouch a break for a few days and can help if your band area is irritated at all. Highly recommend it! :)

I ;)m gonna try it. I have been getting into eating more slider foods lately and have been at a stall for almost a month now. This sounds like what I need

I still cant get up any motivation to do these really hard diets with the band - shake diets for example. I know it'd be a great way to lose the 8lb that's bothering me, and I know I wont really be terribly hungry, but I still like my food too much!

But the best thing about the band is that if you CAN be arsed to do these diets, you cant pile it back on again in no time flat when you finish becuase it makes your band work BETTER and you'll feel tighter and unable to go and eat four muffins and a big iced coffee in your desperation to carb up again.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
