Hi
I'm almost 3 years out. I've just recently in the last 5 months had trouble gaining weight. I'm in Birmingham. Started exercising but still snacking. Scared to death I'll really get in trouble. Need Support

I've been away from the board however saw my surgeon last week and he suggested I getback on board with the support groups. I can't get into most of my clothes. Size 6-8. I'm interested in the 5 day pouch diet? As I have not heard of it before. Also help with cutting out carbs and snacking. Help anyone

I think you probably look amazing at your present weight. Men will do and say nasty things to keep our self esteem low and to keep us with them. It's a security defense mechanism on their part. I do eat too many carbs on occasion, and I eat everything I can handle on others. But, I think about it everyday and the next day I just try harder. We will be ok...promise

I just wanted a one time check up, but doing this on a weekly basis is a very good idea. Maybe I will have a bit of accountability if I have to do this more often. Why not weigh in on Friday? That way we don't have to worry about the weekend. We don't seem to have very many people weighing in so it may just be you and me. But that is just fine with me.

Sure why not ?
Highest weight 334
Lowest 212 ( for a day or so)
present 230-235 I have to keep track of what I am eating or the scale goes up very fast.
When the weather gets warmer my grandson and I will go for our walk , him on his tractor and me walking. He puts that thing in second gear and I have to run to keep up with him...
What day should we check in ?

Topic: RE: 5 DAY POUCH TEST
I did try the 5 day pouch test. I just started this past weekend. I did day 1 and 2. Today is day 3 and I had an egg for breakfast and brought protien shakes and cottage cheese to eat at work today. I am feeling better today and am not craving the junk like I have been. My husband hasn't been saying too much. Every once in awhile he will ask if I have lost any more weight and when I say no he doesn't say anything. He used to always have something to say about what I was eating or that I was never going to lose because of the way I was eating. He has leared to just keep quiet, most of the time.There are still times when he feels he has to say something. He has never had a weight problem and that is what I say to him. I lost some weight over the weekend, I just hope I continue. I don't know what I will do after the 5 day test. I guess just go back to eatin normaly jus****ch the carbs.
Good luck
