Pouch Test

Ok so I understand the whole pouch test theory but if I can't make myself stay away from bad foods now, how will I do it for the pouch test?

God I feel like I'm beginning to fail

Today was a success. Wanted to snack so bad while studying for my midterm today but didn't. Wahoo!

You two ladies did great! I did we'll on mine too! Still needed more liquid! I got in like sixty ounces! I feel good! Lets do this today! I'm still doing liquids today !

Hey gals,

I have not been posting much lately but thought I would reach out. I did really well the first 10 months post op, then REALLY slowed down. Then....got dehydrated, passed out had low potassium and ended up in hospital. After 4 bags of Fluid, liquid potassium and bananas, I gained 6 lbs. I read one time since we do not have a Pouch this is not for us however, I wanted to "shrink" my tummy again because I can eat sooooo much more today and still have, now 26 lbs to go. I thoughtnabout Diva's boot camp and if this does not work, I will o down that path.

So Sunny and team yesterday was all liquid for me. I am with you all... it was tough. I had 4 shakes, 2 cups of split pea soup, 100 oz of Water, 2 cups of coffee.

Stay strong for today best to all!

No weight loss yet, worked out for 40 minutes.

Hey happy camper! Glad u joined us! Yay! I think if I need to jump start weight loss again I will try divas bootcp!!!!! Although a gallon of water seem so tough to me! I hate water ! I had about sixty ounces yesterday and today have only had thirty so far ! Gonna drink drink drink for next little bit! And by the way how do u make split pea soup

Hey Sunny,

There is a recipe for split pea Soup that includes bacon and ham (online at http://5daypouchtest.com/recipes/recipes.html) but for me, I used Andersen's canned low fat last night, tonight probably the same. I had Campbell's broccoli soup at hand for lunch. And I use the costco premiere Protein shakes, had 3 today plus tons of Water (I had to finally add some crystal light to get my last bottle down).

I am hungry and excited to have eggs tomorrow :)

Best to you!

Haha I'm excited about eggs this morning!!! I was very hungry last night but I survived! Hopeeveryone had a good day and let's all stay strong ! Can we have any veggies today or is it suspect to be all protein?

Pouch test is amazing! After being stalled for a month now bein on the pouch test I've lost about 5 pounds!

If wine is a liquid I am SO IN on this!!! :P

Iggy with all you have been through Wine, the nectar of the Gods IS liquid :)

I have read your story and am sorry for all the pain and loss you have gone through. I wish you good continued successful healing.

Here is to..water!

Thanks for asking Sunny. Today was tough for me, our friends lost their 15 year old son in a car accident where his 20 year old cousin was driving and they both died. He brother is hanging on...barely. But today our small town closed the high school early and had services for them both. Then we had graveside...I did not eat for 8 1/2 hours, by the time we got home, I hate some turkey, baby bel cheese and drank a Protein shake. I felt much better then tonight, I have eaten 2 scrambled eggs. Yum.

Did not exercise today just did not have it in me....need more Water only drank 46 oz so far.

How about you?
