Cira inspired us....Pouch test begins today
Thanks to Cira inspiring us with the 5 day pouch test, Laura L and I are beginning it today ourselves. Looking forward to getting back to basics and making sure my pouch still works.
So far today I've had a cup of coffee, and now I sit here with my protein shake and it's yummy. Hoping I make it through the day successfully and don't cheat!

Woooooo Hoooo Christy!!!
I am so happy that I got to inspire a few people. I am here for you if you need any talking out of cheating! lol
Make sure to have enough s/f pudding, soup, s/f jello and protein drink. Lots of water or s/f drinks to make 64 oz or more a day. The cream of soup really helps when you get hungry. The first day was hard and man oh man was I moody. But day 2 is better and I know you can do this!!!
So how are you feeling now?

This has been really hard, I want to eat something!!! Luckily I have people here working on my kitchen today so my kitchen is kind of no accessible...THANK GOD. But when I get done working for the day I'm off to the grocery store for some SF jello and pudding and soups. I had this delusion that I was going to do nothing but shakes...WRONG!!!
This is hard!! It's not that I'm hungry its that head hunger and the urge to chew on something!! So far I haven't cheated though.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Christy,
I know exactly how you was feeling yesterday. I never got a notification that you responded that is why I didn't get to come back and respond. I should have checked sorry.
Yes you definitely need the cream of soups, jello and s/f pudding to help you out. The good thing is that you can have as much as you want. So it helps with wanting to chew something although there isn't much of chewing involved.
I remember feeling sick the first day, dizziness, headache and the head hunger was killing me. But day 2 is a lot better not like day 1.
Day 3 is heaven and day 4 & 5 is major restriction. I am so glad you didn't cheat. Just make sure to be completely ready today with everything that you need.
I am here for you. If you need me quickly just email me directly [email protected]
Take care and oost an update.

Lol, I had to go to be early, like I said. I was a grumpy jerk. I cannot believe I did an even more severe version of this for TWO WEEKS before surgery! It's almost like I was a different person then. This is a good reality check for me to get back on track. Today is much better thus far, but mornings aren't where I struggle. It's afternoon and evenings. But just one more night of this and I'm on soft foods. Exciting! Thanks for your support, Cira!
Laura 
Girl if I had to do two weeks of shakes pre op I would have chewed my arm off! lol
I know what you mean about the afternoon and evening struggle. But if you do the diet for another 5 days startung monday you will see that that feelong goes away as well.
I can't wait to here about your morning breakfast and the feeling of restriction.
Take care,
Cira

Well, here is the egg report! :) l It was delicious! I wasn't very hungry but I knew I would be later, so I had a 1 egg omelet with a tiny bit of egg beaters mixed in and a little bit of light shredded cheese. I felt restriction not too far in and didn't finish the whole thing. The hardest part for me is not drinking, but I didn't drink anything. At 8 months I definitely feel restriction on a regular basis, but this was tighter than usual and closely following the rules regarding drinking and eating for only 15 minutes helps me attack the sliders issue (or rather, it keeps me from eating again once there' room in my pouch). This was a great idea.
I'm not down anymore weight today, but that's ok with me. I like the renewed sense of control. I will post at the end of the day. Fish tonight! Yey!

I am you are doing great, feeling that restriction does gives us confidence that we can definitely work our tool. Now remember to have as much protein as you can it will help you lose. If you do not eat enough you will hold on to your weight. You can eat Tuna fish for lunch on a bed of lettuce. make sure to have at least one protein drink. Up that protein that is key. Drink lots of fluids as well.
I told you you was not going to be too hungry this morning. ;) I had my breakfast but I was not hungry this morning.
Great job Laura 2 more days and you will see how great you you will feel by Friday.
