I'm starting the 5 day pouch test tomorrow. Anybody have any tips or suggestions that has done it?

I did make it through all 5 days and I did lose a couple pounds. I'm at 165 and a size 6 right now. When I started the test I was about 167 and I dropped to 163. But I'm sticking now at about 165 so I'm trying to cut carbs out to lose a little more. I do feel like some of my restriction returned and it helped me to remember exactly how to use this tool. I recommend it but make sure you get enough calories in so you're not too light headed.

My surgeon says we can keep drinking them to make we get our all Protein in. I know some surgeons are different and they want a person to get all their protein from food. I'm going to keep drinking them, I can't eat 80 grams of protein a day.
