WHAT IS THE 5 DAY POUCH TEST?

[nothereanymore]

I've never done it - I've been banded for over 2 years and I know my pouch works. (I can still only eat small amounts)

However one thing I'd like to note - you will find a lot of things like this on the big wide web. If it’s not from a source that I know is credible, (Universities, Hospitals etc) I generally don’t post these types of things, unless its calories or such.

On many things people just post out there in the great wide web, its hard to truly check people credentials, remember - you don't have to tell the truth online - no ones checking your background.

And I'm not saying this doesn't work - but many fads go around on the web and I personally just stay away from them.

THANK YOU Lisa girlfriend!

I have been sick to death of the advice coming from "NON doctors" on this forum lately.

I will discuss or give advice about what works for me nutritionally, such as EAS...body for life...dont do slimfast, etc.

I am sick of...GEE, your band will slip if you are too tight...PUHLEEZE people. there are those of us kicking ass in the tight restriction department and RElearning how to eat properly because of a decent restriction. If people PB or slime, it is because they are eating too fast, not chewing enough OR eating the wrong foods!

Stop playing Doctor, especially for those of you who have not been on this blog for awhile and you know who you are.

I haven't been on for a while so this may have already been asked and answered so if it has, if someone can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

Has anyone on this forum gone through the five day pouch test and if so, what was the outcome? Mainly, I want to know if it kick started some weight loss.

Thanks!
