Question:
Does the 5-day pouch test work???

I am almost 6 months post op from gastric bypass. I have noticed I can eat a lot more now, and have a craving for carbs. I am really desperate to shrink my pouch back to the correct size. Does anyone have any takes on this?    — jackie L. (posted on June 20, 2009)

I am 3.5 years post-op and I tried the 5 day plan about 3 weeks ago. I must say that it was good to break me of the carb cravings, and I felt like it brought my appetite (and pouch) back on track. The weight loss was not huge, but it kicked me off of the carbs. You've got nothing to lose, right? We're all used to trying anything that claims to lose weight!! We're truely the " Biggest Losers"!!!

I really work hard at eating my protien first during a meal, then veggies, then carbs. By the time I get to the carbs there is no more room and I can eat one bite and be happy. When I crave carbs I have a high fiber cracker with cheese or meat so the protien is the bulk of the snack.
