5- Day Pouch Test Day 1
It's a 5 day refresher course on how to treat your pouch. you can go to 5daypouchtest.com to learn more.
Basically you start with full liquids for 2 days then you move forward to soft proteins and increase daily until you are back on regular proteins like beef and chicken if you eat that.
It reminds you that your pouch is still working and that when you feed it the correct things like more protein and less carbs or other slider foods it can still work for you even if you are further out from surgery.
I've never done it before this week. My first day was a bust, but I've done pretty well today sticking to my plan.
Tomorrow will be my last day of liquids then on to soft proteins. I'll go to the store tonight and pick up some canned tuna and salmon. ( BTW, that website has some really good recipies you can use at different stages of the test)

OH ok...I didn't know there was a website for this... thanks...i'm 5days post though..and just dealing with having nightmares of eating all the wrong things grl...i woke up this morning almost in a panic cus the dream was so real! I think my mistake is eating late at night, regardless if its a sf jello or broth...maybe not eating late in the evening will help with these crazy dreams....
Anyway, GOOD LUCK with the Pouch Test....you can do it!!!
