It always confuses me when someone says they are doing the five day pouch test to get back on track. I don't really understand how a five day fad diet like this helps you get back on track. To me, it would make more sense to go back to following your plan. I mean, that's the track you want to get back on, right? The track that is the plan your doctor and/or dietician laid out for you. Not the track of fad diets we stick to for a few days and then go back to bad eating habits.
I wish you well and I hope it works for you the way you want it to. I just don't get it, though.

Wouldn't going back to your plan, eating dense protein first, and that sort of thing have the same effect?

Thanks for your reply. Yes the 5 day pouch diet is a crash course to get you back on track. the 1st days, you drink protein shakes and eat clear and creamy soups. The 3rd day you can eat soft proteins like eggs. The 4th and 5th day you begin to introduce solid proteins as tolerated. Your main focus is re-learning the signals your body gives that you are full. I hope this helps.
It's a five day fad diet for RNY folks. You stick to a very limited list of foods for five days. Some people think this somehow "resets" your pouch or something.

I didn't realize that. I don't think of banders as having a pouch, but I guess they sort of do.
