Question:
I am pre-surgery and I am trying to do all the research I can. I came across a few
questions about the 5 day pouch test. Can someone tell me more about this? Thank you! — mamaof3annern (posted on January 17, 2010)

What are your questions about it? I personally wouldn't be worrying about
the 5 day pouch test. That is for folks who are further out to see if
their pouches have stretched out or not, and is mostly just a
"fad" diet thing. A diet like every other diet. You'll lose a
few pounds, but if you don't keep those habits permanent, you gain them
back.

You can visit http://www.5daypouchtest.com to learn more. There are a lot
of entrepreneurs out there selling advice and ideas to post-op bariatric
patients. My theory is, if they help you, fine, but buyer beware. It always
comes down to hard work. There are ways to get support that don't cost an
arm and a leg, but sometimes books or other info sources are helpful.

I read books, and for some really good research stuff go on you tube, you
can see the surgery being done.. i also followed some of the people who
"you tubed" their whole progress... I learned alot from that.
Also, "weight loss surgery for dummies" was pretty good. You are
doing the right thing... good luck
