HI - It went ok, but not great.  I basically followed the plan, but after the 2nd day, didn't follow it strictly.  That being said, it did help a lot.  I am not craving the carbs, and I am back to eating mostly protein.  I lost 3 lbs, and I am feeling better about my food choices and my portion sizes.  The one thing that it seem to do was to get me back to the no more than 1 cup portions - and most are less than that.  My pouch does seem smaller, and I am not as hungry as before, so I am grateful. So - I did ok, and got the result I needed - even if I messed up after 2 days.  I can only imaging how it would have been if I had followed it strictly.  I amy do it again in a few weeks - just to see.  Thanks so much for asking.  Sorry I didn't post sooner - it was a crazy busy week!  Have a great day!

I got started Wed, and was really successful, in that I'm not craving the carbs anymore, which is where I was going wrong for the past few years (I'm 5 yrs post op, lost 130, then gained almost half back).  Now, when I'm really hungry, I've been going for a leftover pork chop or cottage cheese instead of chips or toast.  Since I don't have a scale, and must rely on the one at my doctor's office when I go this Wednesday, I don't know how the number are, but I feel better.  I'm glad to see so many people posting that the pouch and bypass can still work.  I thought I had blown it for life.  I have a renewed motivation.  Good luck to everyone who is trying to get back on track.
