Something I want to get off my chest about 5-day Pouch Test

Please forgive me "5 day pouch lovers", but I don't get the hype about it. Once the 5 days are over, you don't get the honeymoon back. You may lose a few lbs, but if you haven't really make a conscientious eating change, you'll go right back to what you were eating before and the weight will just stay on. What's the difference in doing this so called bariatric diet fix in comparison to doing the 3-day diet, or the cayenne/lemon diet, or the grapefruit diet??? I mean, what makes the 5DPT better for bariatrics than anything else? I just don't get it. At the end of the day, a real change has to take place. I only lost 60 lbs in all from RNY 4.5 years ago. I've put back on 30 of them and am still trying to find my way. Is there anyone else out there that is sick of hearing about this "miracle 5-day" for GB patients or do you feel it made a real change for you? Looking for some honest dialogue.
