I have occasionally seen someone talk about a pouch test.  Can anyone tell me where to find information on this?

Are you talking about a scope to see the size of your pouch?  If so, that's an EGD ordered by your doctor.

If you're referring to the 5 day pouch test that is supposed to "reset" your pouch (it doesn't) then here is the website for that:

I am on day one of the 5 day pouch test actually.  So far so good.  Use the link from the post above :)

Go easy on the calories when you start eating regular food after the pouch test.

Every time I have done it, I've gained at least 3 lbs. once I started back on regular food.

That's pretty normal. The 5 day pouch test is pretty much a crash diet that gets rid of water weight. Most people that I've talked to regained the weight that they lost within a week.

Thank you, the 5 day pouch test is what I was looking for.  I knew it was all liquids so I had already started it today.  Gosh, I sure hope this works.  I am so dissappointment that I quit losing weight and still have a way to go before I reach goal.  Hope this works, wish me luck.
