Question about the 5 day pouch test

I'm attempting the 5 day pouch test this week.  I read over the instructions and I'm a little confused.  Am I only eating protein throughout the 5 days?

Hi Hugga,

From my interpretation, I think you are allowed a limited amount of carbs.  Cream soups have carbs, and it also allows for a little mayo too. But it is mostly protein.

Thanks Kim,
I don't know why but I was under the impression that the pouch test was mimicking the first stages after the surgery, like liquids then mushy foods and so on.  O.K. got it

day 1 and day 2 are liquids only.
day 3 is fish (tuna or salmon, eggs)
day 4 is ground meat, turkey, lobster, salmon (firm protein)
day 5 is chicken pork, steak (solid protein)

Hope this helps.

Did you start? How was your first day! I wish I would have know you were starting because I am interested in doing this. I think I will get my shakes, pudding, etc together and just do what I know I need to do. Wish me and keep  me posted!

Dang, it sure would have been nice to suffer with someone else. lol
Sunday night I just made the decision to do it this week because the past two weeks I've been eating like crazy and I really feel like I'm eating more at a meal than I really should.  Sooo I said let me do this to hopefully rid myself of the carb monster and feel some restriction in my pouch.

The first day down was horrible, everything smelled so good.  I was even salivating over healthy food that my greedy ass should have been eating in the first place, go figure lol.
So one day of liquids only down and one more to go, I really hope tomorrow will be better.

As for you pudding, you can't have that on the 5 day pouch test the only thing that you are allowed is liquids on the first two days and the last three graduating levels of solid protein and water, that's it.  Lawd I can't wait for the soft protein day.

I know I will salivate. This requires my mind to be focus.Keep of the good work!

I researched the pouch test from this website. http://5daypouchtest.com/plan/days1_2.htmlIt states:
Days One & Two: Liquid Protein
low-carb protein shakes, broth, clear or cream soups, sugar-free gelatin and pudding.

The consistency of the gelatin/pudding would be considered a liquid form as it is digested.
