Anyone interested in doing the 5 day pouch diet with me - Day 1 Monday 10/29/12

Oh fiddle sticks to you who are going to say "I didn't have WLS so that I could go on a "diet" etc.  I've lost my way kinda and just need to be connected.  I need some rules, some reinforcement . . .to be accountable to myself, to somebody.  I am not sold on shrinking my little stomach - it's little already:).  I just need some grounding.  Besides that, my cute arse dresses are hanging in the closet.  How I would love so much to get my tights on & little dresses.  Detox me!!!

Who's in?

Sorry, I'm unbanded now and don't have a pouch.  I would have joined you a few months back.  Sorry!

Thanks hun!  I am going to do this for myself anyway.  Sometimes we just need a cleanse, a detox.  A couple of weeks before and when my Mom passed I used food in the sense that I just couldn't eat - my punishment in some sense because she loved food and was put on a feeding tube.  Then a couple of weeks after her death I comforted myself the way I knew how - the way she comforted me too with food (gosh I love my Mama).  I've been stuck in that mode.  I am not eating a lot per se but it is just at random and feels "out-of-control".

Sorry to pour out but it always helps me to put it out there.  I will update how my journey goes even if no one joins me.  Basically  the 5 day pouch test detoxes you from carbs.  I am a honey wheat pretzel hog - one serving at a time.

 

Have a fantastic day.

 Sorry about your Mom.  Losing my brother and Dad 1&2 years ago sent me off the deep end.

Well, I can join you there.  I need to do 48-96 hours carb free to break the cycle.  Oh, what a bad carb cycle I have been on since last weekend.  Gained 9 pounds in 48 hours and 5 of it stuck.  I'm up 9 pounds solid since losing my band.

I just realized the yummy PBThins I bought in Atlanta have 13g carbs in a 22g serving

 

When are you starting?

 

The cycle of life right!  Sorry about your loss too!

Monday . .  .  after a trip to Caputo's bakery on Sunday morning .  The Italian bread is incredible there - oh my, I can smell the crispy carved seeded all around right now.  I'm such a foodie!  I'll have the shakes from withdrawal during the first 2 days after such an overload of carbohydrates. 

 

 

Same here but, I have to break the cycle!

I would love to do this with you.  I have 6 years out and have lost 80 and gained 30 back but I haven't eaten good in about 4 years so I want to get started again and this will be a good start me, however, I have forgotten most of everything I learned and did in the beginning.  Can you remind me what I need to do with the pouch test?  tHANKS

Could I join you?  I was banded in 2005, and never really worked like I should have.  My weight has stayed essentially the same, going up and down a bit as I continue to eat around the band.  I believe I have some restriction, and want to begin to use the band like I need to.  I had heard of the "pouch test" before, but this will be the first time I do it.  Thanks so much!
