Looking For Sleevers Who Did The Sleeve Bootcamp Or Pouch Test



Recommended Posts

I just wanted to know if there are people who fell off the wagon and felt that they had ruined their sleeve or felt it was not working anymore. Can that happen?

I would like to hear from people who did lil miss diva's boot camp or the pouch 5 day plan even though we don't have pouches. Did you feel a big difference?

Oh, and is it true that some surgeons do tighter sleeves than others or is this a myth?

Search "Help! 9 Months Out And Problem Need Info Not Encouragement?". Scroll into the first reply to the OP and you will find the directions to the boot camp. I'm just finished with day 4 out of 5 - weight has gone from 150.4-146.6 in the first three days, looking forward to weighing tomorrow and Friday.

I'm only 12 weeks out and already thinking about going back to do a recalibration for several days. I can eat more now than I could since surgery and I am losing sooooooo slowly.

I did the 5 day pouch test. I lost 4-5 pounds and broke a stall. The main thing about the pouch test is it just breaks your routine. Most of us start out very strict after surgery, but bad habits can and do creep back in our lives. But they creep back in so slowly as to not be noticed. The pouch test basically takes you back to that strict regimen for a few days and breaks those habits.

I do the 5 day pouch test about every 6 wks or so. It does work with breaking a stall and helps keep me on track. I feel that it gives my system a break and I feel better. I also drink a lot of Water. Good luck!

I just finished day 2 of the 5 day pouch test. This is my first time trying it out. I worked too hard to get to where I was, so I am regrouping. I have discovered that when I get stressed I eat more carbs and chocolate. I am hoping this will help me get back on track.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
