In my last thread I mentioned that being able to eat alot more after about 14 months is beginning to worry me. Someone asked me if I'd ever done the 5-day pouch test. I said no, but tell me what it is!  Never got a reply. So what is this 5-day pouch test, and what does it do?

hey dude...

the 5dpt is where for 5 days you go back to protein shakes only...it intent is to "Shrink you pouch, and let you regain control"

Some of the chicks thrive on it...they go from test to test..I personaly don;t like them

The 5-Day-Pouch-Test,
Is another Fad-Diet, just one specifically geared for WLS Post-ops.
It’s a Quick Crash Diet like “The Plateau Buster.”
A quick Starvation like a fast.
Not recommended by ANY Dr., Nutritionist, or Medical Bariatric Professional.
Just some well meaning Post-Ops
Who got the idea from other well meaning Post-Ops.

People who get antsy about not losing fast enough
or experiencing some regain,
Turn to such “Quick-Fix-Magic-Solutions,”
Because they prefer (small) instant results to long term Health.

If someone is after a quick drop in a few pounds
From severely limiting their calories for a week,
This fits the bill. 
But, like all other Fad-Crash-Diets,
It reinforces “Diet Mentality,” and undermines
The establishment of Habitual Lifestyle change
That will keep the weight off for the long haul.

Thanks for the info guys!  I just think I've been into the carbs too much lately. I know what I need to do!

you can get the "program " on the WLS grad forum. A lot of RNYers use it to regain control...it might help. I don't discount anything that may help ...although it may not help everyone...it may work for you.
