Yesterday was harder than the first day. I really feel for the newly sleeved on the all liquid diet. I forgot how hard it is. I had 3 protien shakes and several cups of chicken broth. The scale went down 1 lb this morning however, my rings are super tight and I'm holding lots of Water because of the sodium in that chicken broth. I'm pretty sensitive to salt so I can put on water weight easily.

The good - I feel in control!!!! I feel so much better. I woke up this morning feeling energized. I ran and hit a PR (personal record) of a pace 11:47 avg mile for my 3.11 mile run. I am pumped about that. Then I got to work early and ate a scrambed egg at my desk. Ahhhhhhhh....an egg never tasted so wonderful. Today is soft protien so I have a salmon muffin or two for lunch (salmon, egg, cheese baked in muffin tins).

Yesterday I never even craved candy or trashy food....I just kept thinking about eggs or chicken, healthy foods. weird. So far I am sold on doing this 5 day test; not to "fix" your pouch - but to fix you brain!!!

Sounds like it's working for you! Keep up the good work!

Awesome Amy, Taking control is always the biggest step. So happy you're feeling in control and doing what you need to for you.

Pouch test, how many days do you do the liquids only?

first 2 days liquid protien, 3rd day soft protien, 3rd and 4th firm protien.

Great! I did it about a month ago had awesome results. I'm planning on doing my next one. Keep us posted. Happy for you.
