i think it is from the wlsforlife newsletter (not 100% sure) it is for long term post ops who are able to eat more, ARE eating more and need to get back to basics. supposedly after they do this they feel more restriction like we are feeling now as newer post ops. it is mostly the grads board doing it. a few months ago they were all doing "time out" another fad thing. i "know" (online) many post ops who just eat smaller portions, focus on protein, blah blah blah. all of these fad things are scary since we did this surgery to get away from diets. however, if i'm over a year out and still far from goal, i'll probably be doing it too. the 5 day pouch test isn't as faddish as other things because it is pretty much just eating like a new post op to try and feel more restriction. nothing you need to do right now!! keep getting in your protein and drinking your liquids and hope we can all avoid future temptation!! judi

there is a web site dedicated to it. I subscribed, she sends out recipes a couple times a week, and they are wls oriented.
