5 day pouch test

Hi,  I'm almost 8 years out and I have regained about 40 lbs. I'm really disgusted with myself and I'm going back to the basics from after surgery. Has anyone heard of or tried the 5 day pouch test?

It really works. I went on it almost 2 weeks ago and it helped start remembering how it feels to be full and satisfied. July 1, I started the 5DPT and then proceeded to start following Adkins. I have lost 14.2 pounds and am determined to get back to my goal weight by 3/9/13...my 7 yr anniversary for RNY.  Try it!

Thank You, I'm on day 3. Decided it could not hurt and I'm getting back on track.

Hi..im 7 years out and have regained 30 pounds..very disgusted and depressed...have recently started to get back on track the way i ate in the beginning..lost 8 lbs..but what is 5 day pouch test?? Can u explain it to me? ty

I have posted the links. It's a 5 day process to reset your pouch and bring back the good habits from after surgery. It eally does work. I'm back on track and have lost 9 lbs

 I totally agree with KellyM.  I'm 4 yrs out and back in February I had a check up - 21 pound regain.  I was horrified, angry and embarrassed - after ALL the hard work.  I made up my mind that day to go back to basics.

I lost the 21 pounds + an extra 3 in 8 weeks - starting out with the 5 Day Pouch Test and getting back into the gym on a regular basis (5 days a week) - and as of today, I'm 13 pounds under goal....

Try it - it does work.

That is fantastic!!!  Thanks for the response and inspiration

You are awesome and an inspiration.

I am 4 years out and have gained about the same amount of weight.  I recently started going back to the gym, but I think I need a jump start as well.  Can someone tell me what the 5 day pouch test is all about?

Hi, the 5 day pouch test is a way to reset your pouch. I tried it and I've lost about 9 lbs and it got me back on track. It's only 5 days and I got through it without a problem. The first two days are liquids, then a day of soft protein, a day of firm protein, and back to solid protein. It got me back into the mindset.  These are the liks. Good Luck!
