5 Day Pouch Test starting Monday...



Recommended Posts

Well, I attempted a 5 day pouch reset in the past couple of weeks, in preparation for seeing the new surgeon. I fizzled out on day 2, expecting that the new doc/nut would give me some enlightenment. Since that didn't really happen, I am jumping back in and going to attempt this again.

I'm starting on Monday, not because that's the typical 'i'm starting a diet' day, but because it will be a bit easier for me since my family will be out of the house during the day and there won't be a constant push to cook etc.

If anybody is interested in how it will go, I'll post updates on this thread each day.

FYI- i know that sleevers don't have a true 'pouch', however that's the actual name of the plan itself.

If anybody is interested in joining along with me, just holler. We can jump in together.

well, i did great on day 1, then on day 2 i fizzled out at dinner. tried extra hard on day 3 yesterday, did pretty good.

i am no longer concerned about feeling restriction. i know it's there.

i am actually going to be seeing a dietitian next week to formulate a plan for me so i'm feeling much better and in control

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
