5 DAY POUCH TEST & Liquid Vitamins



Recommended Posts

For those of you who don't know if "your" LB is working for you or have had your band and are not losing weight, read this article and try this 5 day pouch test. Although I am restricted pretty good, I am going to take the test myself and report my results. I encourage you to do the same. They also have liquid Vitamins that was formulated by a band patient who basically had no energy by 5 in the evening, thus becoming a couch potato. Vitamins are important and I HATE chewable vitamins but have never 100% completely felt any different taking vitamins. I will try these as well and report my results. If you would like to do the same, you will see the BariCeutical Vitamins in the column to the right of the article and 5 day pouch test plan. Click and read about. It's pretty darn interesting. :cursing:

Hi! Thanks so much for posting this. I have not lost anything in the past week and a half. I have actually gained a pound. I know that doesn't sound bad, but for someone who is only almost 7 weeks out it can feel very discouraging. I have had my first fill of 2cc's and can not tell much difference in the restriction. This five day pouch test has given me a goal to set for myself and something to look forward to. I am going to start it today and will let you know in 5 days if I have gotten to know my pouch any better. Anybody else want to try this with me?

I will go on it with you! I was on it after the holidays with BooBooKitty and friends. I will tell you I lost about 3 lbs from doing it! I hate to admit it but I have not been doing what I am supposed to and have gained about 4 pounds in the last month. I am so mad at myself! :bananalama: I am going to start today! Keep me posted on how you are doing!!!

I did the pouch test the first week of January and lost 10# that month. It put me back on track. I highly recommend doing the test.

      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.
