Completely off the wagon - 5 day pouch test?

[Lizardlady 90]

Well, it happened, I am completely off the wagon and I need a reset. After Hurricane Irma, we had no choice but to eat some MRE food that was given out for free (we had no power for 2 weeks where I live). This was our first hurricane and we didn't quite plan accordingly. Know better next time but regardless, I have no excuse NOW and I am wayyyyyy off on what I should be eating and my portions. I'm not really sure what kept me going with eating garbage and too much of it but it seemed like the more I ate, the less I cared about what I was eating and had cravings more often and snacking between "meals" even though it was more like just constant snacking with the MREs. Now I'd like to fix it and get back on track. I have gained back a huge amount of weight from went from 235 to 267 and although I did lose some last week and dropped down to 250 (I was super sick and couldn't eat anything), I'm back up to 267 in a matter of a week of being able to eat again. I think my biggest problem is eating way too much and too often. While it's true I have been eating some things I shouldn't be eating, this week I have actually tried cutting way back on carbs but I'm still ravenously hungry even if it is for steak or a Protein shake! I could drink a shake and then 20 mins later I'll be hungry again and it's head hunger as there is no possible way I could actually be hungry with how often I am eating. I have heard of the 5 Day Pouch Test and was wondering if anyone on this forum has used it and if they had any luck "resetting" themselves? I need my post surgery stomach and appetite right now and it's just not there! I am still eating less than pre surgery but if I'm being honest, not by much! The portions may be smaller but I'm eating much more often. Anyone have any tips/tricks? I am in definite need of some support. It's already gotten out of hand.
