5 Day Pouch Test
Yes!! I just did the 5 day pouch test last week. I DID NOT CHEAT at all, however, I'm still terrible at drinking enough fluids. Follow the directions and use the recipes found on the 5 day pouch test site as your guide if you get stuck. I used canned bean soups and pureed the heck out of them. Eat lots of eggs and tuna on day 3. All you want! The last 2 days I ate turkey burgers, no bread of course, and the last day chicken breast. YOU CAN DO IT! I weighed at the beginning and was 160.4. Day 5 weigh in was 154.2. Mine was a success and I can feel my pouch again and I know it works! Good luck! :>
I'm disappointed to hear your nutritionist thinks trying a fad diet is OK. Maybe you would do better to consult a registered dietician. You know, someone with a degree in nutrition and a license and everything.
Did fad diets help you before WLS? They aren't any more effective post-op.
