Topic: RE: 5 Day Pouch Diet... Day 1
Darla,
Yep it was fine to do. Baby and milk supply are both doing great, and it feels good to be getting back to healthier eating habits, which will also be much better for her as she continues to grow. She's really been enjoying the daily walks as well, the fresh air seems to help her sleep better.

Congratulations on having a new start to the new year.
After getting the ok to try it, I was sucessful at completeing the 5 day pouch test on Friday. Didn't cheat on it, which was very tempting since I was able to eat sugar without dumping during my pregnancy.
Been walking with my baby when weather permits, so good to see that you are taking advantage of the weather and walking too. Keep up the good work!

Topic: Day 4
Day 4 of eating better, not perfect, but so much better than I was. Yesterday I did have 1/2 of a cupcake for my daughter's birthday, and I sampled a couple samples more than I should have of the frosting as I was making it, but otherwise....GOOD.
I even went for a short walk today and shoveled one of the driveways and the sidewalk.
So, all in all, I am doing much better than I was before...no candy in 4 days, no chips, etc. I'm eating more protein than I was before too.
I was just feeling gooad about having a few GOOD days under my belt again and needed to share with people who understand. Thanks...

Topic: Off Topic, but maybe helpful
We got where we were by using food to blunt life's challenges. We had the surgery to get back to a healthier person and hopefully a new life with more positive actions. Many a few years out find themselves back into old destructive habits. Maybe it is like my pappy said (or somebody else) " It's not what is said, but your reaction to it.)
I ran across this article that may remind us of what is important. I found one item self fullfilling: and that was getting and staying healthy. So here it is from the "getting rich slowly site" I recommend reading the whole article.

I agree with Dave. Right now im suffering through the Peanut Butter, flavor by Body Fortress. Next time ill try a small tub, first.

I really like syntrax nectar- especially the nectar sweets and latte. You can get a sample pack of around a dozen flavors. I've also used Body Fortress and Market Pantry (from Target) when I just can't shell out $35/tub, but they are not 100% whey isolate. Immediately preop I did Isopure before I could do full liquids/milk- gross, IMO, but choked some down. :) Good luck!

People are right...after surgery your tastes will change for more than just the protein drinks. I have found that I love the chicken broth and taste-free powder from Unjury. They let you buy it by the single packet, so you can try it before you commit to the expensive bottles. I also like the Isopure Alpine Punch flavor from GNC or online. Before surgery I liked the vanilla and chocolate protein drinks, but since the surgery I have not been able to find one I can drink!
Buy what you need for your presurgery liquid diet, then pick up a few sample packets from online or at a natural food store. I would recommend you get some that can be mixed with water, not milk, for post surgery. I am now lactose intolerant, which I wasn't before WLS. I drank some of the SF Carnation Instant Breakfast, but had to mix with water. I barely tolerated that for the first couple weeks out, but haven't been able to stomach it since!
Good luck! Be sure to SIP, SIP, SIP and WALK, WALK, WALk after surgery, it helps trust me!

I think your problem is that Anna is on maternity leave and the replacements don't have their stuff together. It's not about you so hang in there!
