I really don't eat bread at all...I try to keep my carb count low, helps with hunger and weight loss. I occasionally have a rye crisp... Jo

Thanks for the protein suggestion Vickie. I just ordered some to try Less than 3 ounces is definately a selling point Dru

Do a search for "pouch rules for dummies". It is a lot of good reading and printing, but makes a lot of sense. I started this weekend and am indeed much more full than before. I got worried because I could tolerate more food. It basically entails, sipping fluid 2-4 hours after a meal. 15 minutes before your next meal, you gulp 3/4 of your max and 6-8oz then finish by sipping to your max (8-12oz). Wait 15 minutes, eat (protein first then veg/fruit) then no fluids for 1.5-2 hours then start all over again. It pretty much is supposed to help you through head hunger as well as physical hunger. The water before the meal makes the intestine squeeze and the food that follows the water stays in your pouch longer and it signals the brain that you are not hungry. You are to do this for all meals and if hunger returns before a meal (not likely). It is very important that you start sipping at the 1.5-2 Hr timeframe or the actual loading won't work.

Very pretty, good job!

Thank you!
