Pouch test ???? What is that

Julie

It's basically going back to the post op stages to restart your weight loss. Most people lose 5-10 pounds during the test

Sheesh' date=' they owe you a free movie pass or something!![/quote']

The Dr called me Monday to apologize and smooth the waters. He had an emergency in the operating room, which I figured. He said that the whole appt. was handled wrongly and they would be making some changes. My respect for him went back up!

I'm glad your surgeon owned up to the mistakes! Patient satisfaction has become really important for insurance reimbursement amounts this year, so it is good that doctors are stepping up.

It was as if a switch turned off for me at the 6 month mark, and I only lost 2 lbs the whole month of May. I really upped my exercise, and now I will cautiously say I am losing again. I just hope it continues!

Try the 5 day pouch test. It's suppose to help get through stalls. Day 1 and 2 you do only Protein shakes and liquids Day 3 is soft Protein Day 4 is firm protein Day 5 is solid protein

I hear everyone talking about the 5 day pouch test will help break your stalls. Will it work if you are two years out? I have Lost 144lbs but I want to Lose more.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
