Pouch Test



Recommended Posts

Ok so I understand the whole pouch test theory but if I can't make myself stay away from bad foods now, how will I do it for the pouch test?

God I feel like I'm beginning to fail

I tried the pouch test. The good thing about it is there is no calorie limit. You can drink/eat as much as you want. You do not have to be hungry. But yes, you do have to plan ahead so you always know where your next meal is coming from. For me, it was just like the preop diet in that sense, except easier because my food issues were much more under control.

Ok what is the pouch test?

Google it. But basically it's a tool to help post sleevers who have stalled or developed bad eating habits. Its kinda like a reduced post op eating plan. 2 days liquids, 1 day mushies, 1 day soft foods. It's function (in my eyes) is to help break a pattern of bad eating habits while shrinking the sleeve to give back some of that early restriction that gradually goes away over time. I broke a good stall using it.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
