Group- 5 day Pouch Test



Recommended Posts

I'm going to start the pouch test tomorrow Wednesday, the 8th.! really looking forward to getting back on track- I was banded about a year and a half ago and I'm down 80lbs but have gained about 4lbs in the past 2months as I'm not making good choices! I'm really hoping this will just start me back on track!

I am also going to start the 5 day pouch test tomorrow. I need to get my head back. I am grazing too much and loading up on carbs. Time to move forward again.

seriously lol I'm Hungry! I know it will get better as the day goes on but these first few hours have been hard! I woke up hungry this am! had my venti skinny latte, then 32oz of crystal light and then an hour later my tummy was literally growling so I had a muscle milk. Those things have a lot of fat in em!? fat scares me :biggrin: anyhow it's 10:00 am I'm hoping the afternoon will go better! I can do this!!!!

Ok, I was a little hungry today, but did ok so far. I had my musclemilk for all three meals and drank my crystal light in between. I really hope this gets me back on track, I found myself constantly grazing and carb loading. Good luck everyone

I was hungry today as well but I also found that enev when I was just a little hungry I was more mind hungry because I was feeling deprived and wanted to snack!! I had a latte in the am, then some crystal light. late morning I had my m uscle milk and for lunch I had broth. Broth didn't hold me too long and by mid afternoon I had a slim fast. When I got home I blended up some bean Soup but it really just made me hungry! now I'm sitting here thinking "ok ONE MORE DAY OF THIS!!" funny thing, my poor husband had jaw surgery and is wired shut for 6weeks, so he has been on a liquid diet for two weeks! I SERIOUSLY can't complain about two days!:smile2:

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
