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.

      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. 🤞
