Question:
Does the 5-day pouch test quicken the loss or just make me tighter

Trying to find out if besides making your pouch strink, will it accelerate the weightloss like during the "honeymoon" period? Can you start dropping 10/15 lbs in 2wks. And how long with the quickened weightloss continue before stabilizing?    — Poodie01 (posted on August 18, 2008)

The answer is that for many who have gone off track for a while and have a carb monster, not eating mostly protein drinking with meals, addicted to simple carbs...the 5 DPT gives back a littl eof that restriction, getss rid of the carb monster and reminds you how you are supposed to eat...After the test...NO, you will never drop off pounds like the honeymoon period. That is the ONLY time you will ever lose like that. The RNY is only a tool to help you...In the beginning the pouch does all the work...aftetr the weight stops you take over and decide what goes in the pouch.
