I am wondering if there is anyone here that is on a plateau that would like to do the 5 day pouch test with me?!? I need all the encouragement I can get. Last week I weighed in at 180 and today my scale is trying to lie to me and tell me that I weigh 191 which is an 11 lb gain......I'm going crazy because I feel like I'm doing everything right except maybe getting in all my Protein so that's why I'm trying to find a buddy to do the 5 day pouch test with me!!

I am new to the forum, but not new to WLS. I am almost exactly 3 years post op. After having a baby a year ago I have out on 10 pesky pounds that I am having problems shedding plus I'd like to lose another 5 to hit my all time goal weight of 125 pounds. I have read lots about the 5 day pouch test & believe it is a great way to go. It comes highly recommended from several friends. I am gearing up to start it on 4/23 and am very hopefully it will curb my carb cravings and give me that tight pouch feeling again. Feel free to join me. I need a partner in accountability because I don't get dumping syndrome & can eat anything and everything I want. Which is why it is crucial to not let these 10 pounds turn into 15 then 20 and so on.

The 5 day pouch test is when you want to check and see if your pouch has stretched or quit working. It's a 5 day diet designed to help you take control back & get back on course. Google Kaye Bailey & The 5 day pouch test. There is a website but the book goes into way more detail.
