Topic: RE: 5-day pouch test
Hey Kathy,
I did the 5 day pouch test, sadly with no effects. I was craving solid food like you wouldn't believe on day 2. It doesn't "reset" your pouch like some people testify it does but more or less gets your head back on track. I say try it - you might find it worth it. Best of luck :) :)

Topic: 5-day pouch test
I never got down to my goal weight and have just gained 5 pounds. I stopped going to the gym before Thanksgiving. And the holidays didn"t help !!!
My life is also falling apart and some of the old eating habits are reappearing. I have been eating carbs because it is easier and quicker.
I was thinking of trying the 5-day pouch test. Has anyone tried this??? It really seems to bring you back to the beginning. Maybe that's what I need.
Getting frustrated--want to lose 15 more pounds but I'm 2 years out and it isn't that easy any more.
Just writing this makes me want to get up and out to the gym !!!!!!

Topic: RE: New here!
Wellcome to the Mass boards. I had my surgery at Tufts and Dr. Shah was my surgeon. I thought she was great and was very happy with the program. I am not sure if you know about this or not but Tufts has a meeting once a month, the first hour is for everyone and goes over a different topic each meeting. The second hour is for people who are new and have not had the surgery yet. They answer any questions and let you know what to expect. Family is allowed to go to this and I am sure it would be very helpful so you can understand what to expect. Good Luck!
Topic: Newton/Wellsley
Did anyone have their surgery done at Newton/Wellsley? My mom is looking into having the surgery done there. I had mine done through Tufts but I think she wants to avoid Boston if possible. I told her I would ask around and see if I could find anything out about the program at Newton. Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Topic: New here!
Hi! I am new here. My husband is going through all the steps to have surgery. He is a patient of Dr Shah at Tufts. He attended the recent Immersion Day, anyone else here attend it? I am hoping to be able to come here, ask questions and get awesome pointers and tips! We live on the south shore, have a 10 month old daughter & my husband is a chef.
Topic: RE: fear of failure?
Fear of failure = my life story. I think this is a good topic for our next meeting, Kerry.
Every time I put a piece of food into my mouth I see myself going back to a size 28. Scares the everliving **** out of me.
