I feel awful! I was blessed with this wonderful tool, and I cant stop cheating on my diet plan! I know its the holidays, and I lost 100 lbs in 6ish months, but when will this end?!?
has anyone else felt like they are losing or have lost control?
I cant gain this weight back,
im still tracking my food, and am getting in my protein, but im racking up tp 1200-1400 calories a day... I wanna die!
I cant stop.. I did good all week, but today I had cookies at lunch :(
BIG FAT FAILURE!

I think 1000 calories is closer to a maintenance number .. are you wanting to enter maintenance?
To lose, calories should be between 600-800, I don't think there is a need to go back to liquids and I don't think the 5 day pouch test does much of anything
Eat 3 meals a day, no snacking or grazing.. eating protein first.
Measure out and log everything you eat.
I know it's easier said than done, you can do it :)
My surgeon's plan allowed way more than 600 calories! I ate about 800 calories for six months, then more like 1000, and after a year, about 1200. And I still lost weight for 18 months. Does your surgeon's plan really recommend no more than 800 calories until you're done losing?
And I've been in maintenance for several years now and I eat a lot more than 1000 calories - if I kept my calories that low, I'd be underweight, I think. I am maintaining at a normal BMI on about 1500 calories a day.

This may well be right for you but many " safely" eat much more. My doctor and nutritionist were very definite I shouid never go under 1100 in order to lose. I lost all my excess weight on that and maintain at about 1500, despite being in my 60s and not exercising much.
Highest 290, Banded - 248 Lowest 139 (too thin!). Comfort zone 155-165.
Happily banded since May 2006. Regain of 28lbs 2013-14. ALL GONE!
But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,
O please....1000 is a maintenance? For whom? Based on what study ? You don't know that person size, or their physical activity....i would waste to nothingness if i try tomaintain on 1000 cal diet...
6+ years post op i lose weight when i get the proper food on 1200 cal per day on average...

You should not do the five day pouch test (it's just a fad diet for WLS folks) or go back to liquids. You should go back to following your doc's plan. If you don't remember what that plan is, make an appointment with your surgeon or a registered dietician.
