WHAT IS THE 5 DAY POUCH TEST?

DO YOU ALL THINK YOU CAN STRETCH YOUR POUCH FROM DRINKING TO MUCH WATER. DURING THE DAY WHEN IAM TRYING TO GET IN MY 64 OZ OF WATER I GET VERY FULL FEELING, JUST WONDERING IF YOU CAN. KAREN

I WAS AT MY FILL STATION THE OTHER DAY TO BE WEIGHTED IN, AND I WAS TALKING TO MY FILL PERSON, I ASK HIM ABOUT SOFT FOOD VERSUS SOLID FOOD, IF SOFT FOOD WENT THROUGH MY BAND RIGHT AWAY VERSUS SOLID FOOD STAYING IN MY POUCH LONGER. HE SAY THAT SOFT FOOD STAY IN THERE JUST LIKE SOLID FOODS. AND I ASK HIM IF I CAN EAT MORE W/SOFT FOODS. HE SAY I CANT. I FEEL I CAN EAT MORE SOFT FOOD VERSUS EATING SOLID FOODS. I ASK HIM THIS QUESTION, BECAUSE I FEEL I WAS EATING MORE SOFT FOOD, LIKE SALADS AND STILL FEELING HUNGURY. I HOPE THIS MAKES SINCE, BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE SOME FEED BACK. THANKS KAREN

MY HUSBAND HAD MORE OF A PROBLEM THEN ME, HE WAS ALWAYS ASKING ME IF I WANTED SOMETHING TO DRINK WITH MY MEAL. IT TOOK HIM LONGER THEN ME TO STOP THAT, I HAD A BIT OF TIME WAITING 60 MINUTE AFTER A MEAL. BUT YOU WILL GET IT. GOOD LUCK KAREN

HI, I JUST FIQURE OUT WHAT YOU ALL MEAN WHAT PB'ING IS, WORST FEELING I EVER HAD SINCE HAVING LAPBAND,EVEN THE SURERY AND GAS WAS NOTHING COMPARED TO PB'ING.

BUT OVERALL I'VE HAVE STUCK TO WHAT I'AM SUPPOSE TO DO, SO AFTER 5 MONTH I WAS SUPPRIZE WHEN IT HAPPEN KAREN

IAM SO GLAD YOUR DOING MUCH BETTER, CAN YOU TELL ME WHY YOU ALL USE FLUORO. KAREN

I CANT REMEMBER THE CORRECT AMOUNT EACH TIME, BUT TOTAL TO DATE IS 1.7CC, AFTER BEING BAND W/DR ORITZ HE ONLY PUT IN .3CC. I DONT FEEL I HAVE TO MUCH FILL AND IAM LOSING A LITTLE OVER 7 POUNDS A MONTH, BUT I WENT BACK EACH MONTH BECAUSE I WAS ABLE TO EAT MORE THAN A CUP OF FOOD AT A SITTING AND I DIDNT FEEL A RESTRICTION. PLUS I DONT HAVE ANYBODY AROUND ME TO TALK ABOUT THIS, OTHER THAN TO READ WHAT ALL YOU GUYS DISCUSSION. I DONT THINK I WILL BE GETTING ANYMORE FILL FOR AWHILE. MY BAND SIZE IS 4CC. KAREN
