5 Day Pouch Test

For this trial do I use any kind of protein drink (Like Atkins?)  The reason I ask is that I didn't use protein powder when I lost at first. My surgeon did not want me to.  I am going to do the pouch test to re-focus my head!!  I have the sugar free jello but never bought protein powder before.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Well I am 7 days out and the Atkins Protein Shakes have been fine for me.  My nutritionalist told me no more than 2 shot glasses twice a day.  I have a double shot glass so that was perfect for me.  I also started my blended cream soup yesterday.  Before surgery I made up my blended soups in ice trays and froze them.  So now I take out 2 cubes and microwave each meal.  Simple and easy. 
Knock on wood, I have had NO nausea at all. 
I do have the Matrix powder, but my nut. wanted me to stay with Atkins for now.

Good luck,

hi Sue,
 Y es the atkins shakes Are fine, as are The Slimfast  Low carb Options.   Any Protein shakes are Fine. what you are Loking for is a High protein, Low Carb/sugar combo.   Optimimum  Nutrition Has some great choices but these are powders That you mix.  As For The 5 day pouch test,  Also make use Of broth.  It Helps. I dont do Well With the soup recipes On The Site, Too Many carbs For Me, But i Use broth, wonton soup HOld The wonton, Etc.  There Is Also a message Board On that site Specifically For that .. With Lots of tips And tricks To Help You.   wishing You The best !

230/170/220, i feel miserable all over again, no money to have the surgery done again. I suffer with emotional eating....Ro 

HAng in there. The tool still does work.  Google "five day pouch test" and you will find it.  I made it thru day one which is liquids only. That again today.  It really is ALL a mattter  of staying focused. 

You say you are an"emotional"eater... get emotional about eating right!  I am saying this for me as much as you!! 

It will be harder this time but you CAN do it.

Also go to the group tab above and type in Back on Track Together... great resource.

Please keep in touch!
