I went to a support group meeting last wednesday and the 5 day pouch test was mentioned. I had never heard of it but Denise (who went with me...yippeeee!!!) said it's on here all the time. She said it may have been on the main board though. Anyway, I looked it up at http://www.5daypouchtest.com/ and it doesn't sound bad. I believe the people at the group said they use it to get off a plateau. Makes sense to me since it's just getting back to the basics. I'm thinking about trying it next week. I don't think the liquid stages will be that bad as long as I'm at work.

Anyone heard of it or tried it? Any advice?

Love you,
Jacqui

Okay.....so I am in the process of the 3 day protein shake. Day one went awesome woke up this morning and had dropped 3 pounds from yesterday. But went to Olive Garden after Dh surgery to get soup. i had Chicken Gnocci soup. OMG it was awesome. But after 1 day i could see a difference, of course I am only 6 months out. I had been losing the same 4 pounds for 3 weeks and was fed up w/ it. SO I needed a kick start we will see tommorrow morning if those 3 pounds stay away after my soup from Olive Garden. But man was I ever stuffed after eating it. I would say like 1 cup/1.5. That I ate. and 2 stuffed mushrooms the size of quarters and handful of salad. So I reaaly think after 3 days I would have dropped about 5 pounds. I just really wanted to jumpstart. I was at 151.5 on the 6th, 14 days later I was 152/153/154 depending on the day. IT WAS DRIVING ME CRAZY!

HIGHEST 300 POUNDS!
Sept 07...284lbs.
surgery day 4/16/08...223lbs.
11 months Later...133lbs.
TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS 167lbs.

I have done it and it does work. You don't necessarily do it for the weightloss but it does decarb you and you get back your restriction. It really isn't that hard to stick to. The worst thing that I experienced was a headache the first day or so. Good Luck!

Wow Kim I would love a 5 day pouch buddy! Shall we plan on starting Monday? I need to do some shopping and I don't have the resources in my small town. I'll need to travel to Evansville or Owensboro to get some protein shakes.

Are you in the directory? I am. I really like the idea of having a buddy! We can post how we're doing. Maybe others would like to do it too!

You Rock Kim! What a great person you are. You've really made me excited about doing this! Yayyy ussss!!!!

Smooches,
