Ok, I have a friend of a friend...lol ... both banded 6 yrs ago. One has been very successful & the other, not so much.
During a conversation she mentioned wishing she could get back to eating the way she did after first being banded.
I'm a newbie, but remembered reading about this and so I suggested she try the 5 day Pouch Test; neither had a clue what I was talking about!
I finally found the link and looked it over, as well as posts on this site, so I guess my question is:
DOES SHE NEED TO PURCHASE THE BOOK?
(-or does this pretty much sum it up-)
------------------------------------------------
Day 1-2: liquids
Day 3: soft Protein
Day 4: firm Protein
Day 5: solid protein
-----------------------------------------------
Minimum, 64 oz Water everyday
No drinking 30 mins before or after meal
Reduce caffeine, but not cold turkey
Measure all portions: 1cup volume OR 4-6 ounces weight
Eat only until you feel your pouch tighten, then STOP!
Chew, Chew, Chew!
----------------------------------------------
-liquids:
consume all the both or Protein shakes you need to keep you satisfied (day 1&2)
-soft protein:
canned tuna/salmon/turkey/chicken, eggs, baked/grilled fish (tilapia, sole, orange roughy, flounder, catfish, bass, white perch (add small amount mayo/miracle whip only enough to moisten can meat)
-firm protein:
ground meat (beef, turkey, lamb), shellfish, scallops, lobster, salmon, halibut
-solid protein:
white meat, poultry, beef steak (as tolerated)
------------------------------------------------

You look great! Hard work pays off!

Well, today is the day! 11 months and 8 days after banding.... DOWN 100 LBS! Best decision I have ever made, Dr. Fielding (NYU) changed my life!
