Topic: 6 months post-op!!
I should have posted this on Saturday, but I just finished updating my profile a few moments ago. I added new before and after pictures and my new measurements are down at the bottom of my profile.
I've lost over 50 inches so far!!!!!!!
The most dramatic change in my measurements was 4 inches lost from my chest. My trainer really stepped up the weight lifting after my last measurements in December and the results really show!!
I'm so excited, I can't wait for the next six months!
Topic: RE: 5 Day Pouch Test -- Day 1 Results -- Monday
I'm doing the pouch test too!!
Yesterday was fine at work. I drank lots of water, above and beyond the 64 recommended ounces. I didn't get hungry until the evening after I got home from the gym. So I cheated, I had about 1/4 of a protein bar. 
Today is a new day and I'm almost done with all my water. I'll have to refill my water bottle before noon! I think I'm going to mix my protein powder with water instead of milk today.
Tomorrow is soft protein, I'm so exicted. 
So who else is on the 5-day Pouch Test??!!

Topic: 5 Day Pouch Test -- Day 1 Results -- Monday
Today went pretty good for me. I had a little problem with feeling hungry early in the morning, but as the day progressed I wasn't as hungry anymore. I drank lots of water throughout the day.
I ate my three meals and one snack through the day. You really have to monitor what you are eating.
I think I am a little confused with the protein part for days 1 and 2.
I have probably only had around 400 calories for the day. I didn't calculate my dinner and snack in yet.
I can't wait to see if Day 2 is just as easy. I will be back at work tomorrow, so the temptations will definitely be around with all of my coworkers! I will not let them tempt me!!
I hope that everyone has had a pretty simple Day 1.
Good luck to all of us and I will post again tomorrow night!!!

CW: 171 lbs
Lost last week: 1 lb
Total lost to date: 107 lbs
I only lost 1 lb again this week. That stall I talked about last Monday; thinking it was over, nope. Just widened the stall range from 175-173 lbs to 175-172 lbs. But Friday I started traking my food on FitDay.com again. I was 174.5 lbs then, 174 lbs on Saturday, 172 lbs yesterday and 171 lbs this morning. Traking again has made me concentrate more on protein, protein, protein, water and moving! I'm hope it is helping but I won't jinx myself like last week and say the stall is over! Grrr! If I keep bouncing around I think I'm going to try that 5-day pouch test.
