5 day pouch test

[allielee 263]

Today I started the 5 day pouch test.. I will be a year out from revision from band to bypass on May 21. I have found myself snacking on almond m&m's and have developed an addiction to them. I am at my goal weight but I don't want to fall in to this bad habit so this morning I set my mind to do liquids for the next 2 days and then mushy etc. I'm really hoping this helps me get back on the healthy eating track. Sugar does nothing to me unfortunately. I wish it did. I can't eat fatty or fried foods which has been great. I'll check back in with if it helps. Has anyone else found they couldn't stay away from something bad for you after bypass food wise? Did you find anything that helped?

I'm 6 months post op & I'm addicted to lemon heads candy omg... I could've cared less about this mess before my surgery and now it's like. If I go 3 days with out any of them I'm going nuts .... I need HELP. My nut tells me it's my Protein levels dropping that's causing the craving BUT I can't help but buy a little box and a lot them out 4 little yellow terrors at a time ... I need a intervention I think .. It sounds fun but like many I WISH SUGAR made me deathly SICK that way my body wouldn't want it... I'm losing weight well but I know if I didn't eat any sugar Id be so much better ... Please any tips / advise is very much welcomed ‼️I feel like a ???? head over here

that's how I started at the 6 months point a couple pieces here and there and then it became more and more.. So far so good on my pouch test. I have lost 3 pounds (which I'm not trying to do) and my sugar craving is pretty much gone. Happily!!!! So I'm on day 2 of liquids I may keep on liquids for a third day to be sure I'm off the sugar.. Fingers crossed.
