How is the reset working for you? ( some call it the Pouch Test )
I found that eating a lot of semi liquids like vegetable soup also makes my pouch contract.
About a year ago doc took a look down my throat and said I had a very tiny pouch after years of enjoying soup every day often twice a day .
It's interesting because I actually asked my RNY surgeon to make a larger pouch since pre surgery I ate a lot of bulky salads and veggies.
The only drawback to having a tiny pouch is basically tasting food not so much eating a real portion.
But I often eat again a few hours later - sometimes the same meal sometimes something else .
It works for me - other than some loose skin and empty fat cells I'm quite a normal healthy weight and have maintained the same size since about two years after surgery ( when I gained some expected bounce back).
I pretty much eat what I crave ( that's NOT fast food lol ) and I'm finding as I get further out ( and older ) that I can eat a bit less restrictively- before I ate a very low fat high fiber low sugar diet now I occasionally indulge in a bit of avocado or a small serving of cheese or even half a cookie lol.
It's a real relief not to have to constantly weigh or beat myself up for not having a perfect body. I'm Thank God ) very healthy thanks to good food, taking my supplements and regular blood draws and checkups.
Are you talking about the 5 day pouch test? Please let me know how you make out with it. I thought about doing it myself.

Speaking of which, a recent article (written by a WLS surgeon 
- Dr. Jawad) about how to avoid cross/transfer addictions following WLS:
Frank talk about the DS / "All I ever wanted to be was thin, like that Rolling Stones dude ... "
HW/461 LW/251 GW/189 CW/274 (yep, a DS semi-failure - it happens :-( )
This is just sad, to lose all that weight and not be able to tow the line under the law afterwards. 
But then, we WLSers are all too familiar with the "Transfer Addiction" syndrome that sometime****s post-ops as a result of their weight loss. That may have had a hand in her behavior.

Hi Everyone,
It has been 15 years now since I first had bariatric surgery. I first had a lap band that after a few years had slipped and had to have it removed. I had to wait 6 months and then had a Roux-N-Y done. I lost over 160lbs and was very happy with the results, but lately I have gain some weight back. Actually 50lbs and need to get it off before it gets worse. I heard of the bariatric reset diet, where you start off with the post op diet and follow it like you just had surgery again. I plan on starting this this week and hopefully it will be successful. I contribute it to getting back into eating carbs and having sugar. So those are going to be almost non-existent from now on. I will let you all know how it goes. This is especially for those who have already had the surgery now for a few years and have gain some weight back. It will be good to know they can resolve the issue by themselves. Take care everyone!

Hello Ruth, there is a conference Facebook page that I can send you a link to so you can connect with attendees who may be looking for a roommate. Check your Private Messages.
I am looking for a woman to share my hotel room with 2 queen beds on Friday and Saturday nights at the conference. The cost for the room is really high for me on my own, but totally manageable with a roommate! Interested?
Well I didn't realise this post was a 2006 post cars I asked a 25 year employee of culvers about that because I was very interested in a low carb low fat sugar-free ice cream from culvers and they don't have one never had one so I don't know if somebody just lied and played a cruel joke on her or him or what I don't know but they said they have never in the 25 years that person had been working there have they ever had sugar-free custard and any location I just want to throw that in there because I people can be cruel especially when they like to make fun of people and so I just wanted to let you know there's no such thing I don't want people to embarrass themselves because they were told something that somebody was told taking on them
About 10 weeks ago I started to be only ably to eat about 1/3 of a cup. ( I had been up to 1.5 cups). And now the foamies have started. It's awful but I'm losing weight which is a good thing Worried there is something wrong but can't make a dr believe me I have intermittent abdominal pain and had my gallbladder checked and found out my liver has grown to 3 times its size ( both organs are healthy) the liver growth is a thing that happens in 17% of women though not to my degree Barriatric dr knew my liver was large 18 yrs ago but said it was healthy then too Now it's very large totally unrelated to surgery But I can't get help and my gp won't believe me I am in chronic pain constantly and this began post op They say unrelated too It's neck and spinal problems Take calcium!!
I give up, something will show it's self someday and a dr will find it!
Yes I do!! Had to have my bowel pinned in 2007 and now if I stay in a fetal position too long, like sick in bed for any length of time I will adhere myself (inside) to other organs. After the surgery to repair my bowel I had to go back to surgery to separate scar tissue and adhesions between liver and abdominal wall. They are painful and hard to make doctors understand or believe.
