5 Day Pouch Test!

I am wondering if there is anyone here that is on a plateau that would like to do the 5 day pouch test with me?!? I need all the encouragement I can get. Last week I weighed in at 180 and today my scale is trying to lie to me and tell me that I weigh 191 which is an 11 lb gain......I'm going crazy because I feel like I'm doing everything right except maybe getting in all my protein so that's why I'm trying to find a buddy to do the 5 day pouch test with me!!

can't wait!!! It's gonna kinda me hard cuz tomorrow is my birthday! But I'm determined to do it all the way through!

Happy Birthday tomorrow! I can't wait to get this party started & say goodbye to carb cravings & the 10 pounds keeping me out of my favorite jeans! I applaud you for starting this on your birthday. The weak willpowerless me would use that as an excuse not to start. All I can say is you go girl!

I'm almost 4 months out!! Thanks for the birthday wishes....however I was unable to start the 5 day pouch test today not because my birthday but my friends dog had puppies, she killed 3 of the 5 and one is hanging on for dear life! I spent all day at her house and I brought the sicker of the two home with me! So I'm on puppy duty until she gets better!! I'm gonna promise to start tomorrow so I'll just be one day behind you guys!!!

Lol yeah or post op!!! I hope I at least get back down to my 180! Getting ready for broth for lunch fun fun!!

Awww man Vamp! I tried to eat some chinese food today for my birthday. What a bad idea. Threw up and had to run and get to a bathroom. I won't do that again. =/

Ugh day 2 sucks!! I had soup for breakfast & lunch. On the bright side I am having that tight newbie pouch feeling again. Hooray this diet really does work.
