Hi, I'm new to this forum but I do have a suggestion for you. First of all let me tell you that I had gbs almost 15 years ago and I am up 60 lbs from my lowest but I did not see or believe it was happening until one day I really looked at myself and realized I have been eating my way around my weight loss tool ( that's what I call my pouch ). I did a test I found on line in another forum, it's called the 5 day pouch test. I lost 9 pounds (mostly water ) but who cares. What I learned was that my pouch was not broken and the old ways came back in that 5 days I felt that full feeling again just like the first few years post op. I was eating all the things that easily go down like pretzels, popcorn and cookies with fluids the last 12 or so years. In the instructions for this pouch test it explain what happens to that food and how it just slips right through to your thighs and does not make you full. It seems hard but if I could do it anyone can . Just google 5 day test pouch and your there.
Good Luck.
Michelle
