5DPT: I can't hang

Sorry guys. I can't do it. I ran a practice 8K last night (just under 5 miles) and I just cannot keep up training on a liquid diet (and I feel like working out is more important than testing my pouch). I am just going to have to trust that my pouch works and just work on myself and making better choices. I can't be getting dizzy when I stand up..... don't know if anyone else experienced this, but I did, several times. Good luck to you pouch testers! And if you do not feel right, know that it is ok to stop.

glad it wasn't just me! I was getting so dizzy everytime i stood up i had to grab the wall to keep from falling. dee

You can not get in enough calories drinking liquid to support that amount of exercise. Girl, you were being silly to think you could! I'm glad you quit before it got dangerous for you.

I know. I went into the gym last night having consumed about 840 calories and burnt 1019 with the run. That's not good.

Hi Jessica, I was freaking out, thinking my pouch wasn't working, but I found that if I really honestly stick to meat/poultry/fish/veggies/fruit/occasional whole grains, my pouch is just as small as ever. I was eating lots of soup every day and was shocked by how much pasta I could put away, but once I switched over to the other stuff, I had major restriction. Trying this would probably be more sensible for you than that crazy liquid diet, since you work out so much!

I am just in awe that you went out and ran that far. WOW! You are really a warrior. I am more active since WLS but I cannot imagine running more than a few steps.
