I've been horrible on my diet since June.. Sweets, carbs .. You name it.. My ouch had hated me and yet I don't learn. I gained 3 pounds and have tried to find a support group in Pittsburgh area. My question is, should I be talking to my doctor about pouch stretching or testing to are if it's happened? I can eat more now that I'm 10 months out.. I had 3 pieces of small pizza (home made) and a half hour later had a sugar- free cupcake.. So I'm failing somewhere.. I'm worried my pouch is damaged or possible gone. Should I contact my surgeon?

You can try the 5 day pouch test. If you Google it, it will pop up.

Meanwhile, you can try going back to basics and also logging your daily food intake. A call to your Nut. would help, as well.

You need to find out why you are doing this.. All of the above are great suggestions but until you get a hold of why your mind is doing this you will continue to Sabotage yourself!! Good luck

      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.
