Pouch Test Info

 I have to share this great site I just found.  I tried a few days ago to "get back to basics" Protein drinks and liquids. I did ok for a couple of days but I was miserable. A few of you here  are talking about The Pouch Test. I found a site, 5daypouchtest.com. It is AWESOME.. lots of support, answers to questions and recipes recipes recipes. I am actually excited to try it and get back  y control. A very good explination about why we can eat all these crackers and crap that goes down so easily.. Any way I thought I would share this.    I have to say to 1st year post -ops. People always said "the hunger comes back" For the first 2 years I thought I was invincible, I never felt hunger, no cravings. I thought I was the exception to the rule. But I am not, The last year  cravings and bad habits have  snuck into my  life. I have not come this far to go back!!

Jean, that's the one they are all doing now.......:) Marc just lost like 14 pounds on it.

Yes I know ,thats what got me interested again and I thought maybe others might want to know more.. Blessings

 Your the one  who put a fire under my kettle about it. Clicking my heals together and chanting.. I wanna lose 14 pounds too, I wanna lose 14 pounds too..wi

This is probably a good topic to keep bringing up occasionally... You look wonderful! ... but I know we all want to improve... "Your the one  who put a fire under my kettle about it" I have that effect on all women.... it's because I am so swave and deboner

Hello darlin'....I am starting the 5 Day Pouch Test today......I was happy to find the info from you...I had found her 5 day Pouch Test, but not all the rest of the info.....lots of information and I did become a member there....I am sure it will help me get through this...although I am only in the first day and it is pretty easy so far.....

The things that she says makes a lot of sense and at 1.5 yeas out....I have been soooo guilty of the "sliders"....the little crackers, pretzels etc that go down so easy with liquid and as she says become a "slurry" and passes right through the pouch.....but leave a lot of calories in the body.... 

 You can apparently also have soup on her day 1 and day 2..[the kind that you make, but she has good recipes] so I have made one and it tastes really good as I found out after my 3rd protein shake...I was wanting something else.

Thanks to Marc for getting us moving on this....I hope this will re-set my losing point....

Hugs, Marti 

 

 

 

 

I also needed that reminder on the sliders. I was guilty of all that and I just couldn't figure out why the heck I could eat all these crunchy things, The crackers, pretzels etc and I can eat a lot with no problems. But if I go to eat a dence protein it is so uncomfortable. Now I will strive for that  uncomfortable, reminding myself that it is doing what it is suppose to. I haven't officially started. I am going to wait until Monday. But I have incorporated a lot of the  wisdom and lost 5 pounds in the last week. I made a big pot of ham and bean soup yesterday too. I adore split pea but made mine with lentils because they have half the calories. Yum Yum. On ward and upward we go..Blessings

I did real good until evening....and then I screwed up and now I realize I have to go to a business party tonight that is serving amazing food and drink., we are going out to dinner Friday night and playing cards Saturday night ..... and then there is Easter.....sooooo I weill join you on Monday....that sounds much more doable.

I made the Soup with Tofu, Velveta and deviled ham and it is real good, but it will keep until Monday. Your lentil soup also sounds good.
Let us know how you do.
