I'm sure there are a lot of people who have done the 5 day pouch test. Can anyone help me, pretty please!

The pouch test is mostly for bypass patients...sleeves don't have pouch's

I don't advocate you doing this at all...however I do tons of research and it was pretty simple to find.

Here's another one that you might consider

Again, I am not an advocate of these types of gimmicks, I feel that the best way to lose the weight is stick to a healthy and balanced diet, restrict processed carbs and exercise to the point of raising the resting heart rate, for at least 20-30 minutes a day. That works for me, maybe not for everyone. YMMV.

I've never heard of it for this surgery, so I would talk to your dr to find out exactly what you are supposed to be doing.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
