I agree, any pain or concerns should be reported to your surgeons office promptly...

Patty,

Yes, I am doing the 5 day pouch test. I started it today. I have a question, can I mix frozen fruits with my greek plain yogurt & whey protein, when I am doing liquids. Give me some examples for protein shakes, can I mix ground flaxseed in my shakes?

Hi Lynda

Hope things are going well with you.    Have you tried the five day pouch test yet.   You can look it up on line or here at obesity help. Basically it is three days liquid protein shakes and then two days of soft protein.   It is a good resetting mechanism for us to remember what we should be eating.

I am doing it right now as my daughter in law is getting ready to have the sleeve next week so shawn and i are doing liquids right now to support her. The first few days are rough but it is not to bad after that.   I find that it gets rid of my sweet tooth that hounds me occasionally.
Sugar still makes me dump and that is ok so i do watch what i put in to my mouth.   Hope you get back on track.

Take care

Patty

Hi

Your feelings are completely normal. You need to stay in touch with the support group that is in your area. It can be a great help and if you have any questions contact the surgeons office or the dieticians office. I emailed my dieticians all the time at first and it was a great source of comfort and information. This is a tool that we need to learn to use and it works great if you follow the rules.

Your biggest job now is to get the liquid in and not get dehydrated. work on the protein shakes too.

Hope all is fine

Patty
