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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
