5 Day Pouch Test

Well, I decided to do it, just to see if it works and to satisfy my curiousity that my pouch still responds. Boy, does it ever!!! The first day was just liquids, hot tea, protein shake & bullion. Not a bad day, always felt full because I still drink alot of water so I never did feel hungry. Day 2 was pretty much the same. Added a couple of servings of Jello. Still no problems. Today is day 3. I found out that my pouch really does work!!!  2 scrambled eggs for breakfast. BAM!  I couldn't even finish them and my pouch felt so full!! I also realized that I need to retrain myself to eat slower. I dont drink with my meals, nor before or after. But I actually felt that OW! sensation from eating. A pudding today, hot tea and bullion and I still didn't feel bad. A late lunch of plain tuna and found that I couldn't eat 4 ounces. It went down fine but that full sensation is there. Guess my pouch still works! Lets see what day 4 brings. I'll keep ya posted. And I will say, it certainly does make you more aware of eating & drinking the right way.                                                                                                            Happy Days!!    -Bob

Good for you Bob -- today was Day 1 of the test for me.  So far, only protein drinks and decaf coffee and iced tea -- so far, so good.  Let's hope I can get thru this evening -- the hardest part of the day for me~ Hugs, Nannette

Nannette: Just don't do what I did and watch Food TV all day.  Bad bad idea. I was quite cranky after a while. A

Bob: I'm glad you're posting your experiences too!  I had the same experiences as you. Best think I ever did! Angela
