Hello ..starting the 5 day pouch test today...

Hello my Boo. Two things came to mind when I read this. The first being that you said your NUT did not want you on liquids, but food, and two, you have done so well and the pouch is not easy to stretch, it is normal to eat a little more food after awhile, but unless you are in trouble, I would not think it necessary, but you know best. I do not want to be all in your business, but you are doing great. Do you remember the article about pouch stretching from Dex?? Do you think I should post it again? I support you 100 percent in anything you decide.. Love you...

Thank you Linda....Yes, please do post the pouch stretching article from Dex.  Got to go...my daughter called and I am on my way to St. Paul. I will post more tomorrow. No big emergency so don't worry. Love ya...Boo

Happy trails dear Boo. You know I loves ya!!

Hi cutie.... I was thinking.... and that's always scary... Maybe just do a modified test... just make sure you eat solid proteins first, don't drink during or after, and get your protein, vitamins and water in .... I don't know for sure, but with only a pound or two to go I would be worried about your body being used to a certain amount of calories and stuff, then you cut them down and your body might think it's being starved and hold onto what it's got... There are a few new pics on my profile for those interested. You look great! .. although I was hoping for more skin in those pics...

Marc oh Marc, What are we going to do with you? Never mind, don't answer that question. Here you go - enjoy   

ROFL!!!!

I kept licking the screen.... wow, are those 2 girls flat chested!

Thank you Marc.....next pics I will try to do better...skin wise...hahahahahaha!!!!   I am alitttle afraid of that happening to...my body thinking I am starving it...hhhhmmmmmm. I always eat my  dense protein first...never miss my vitamins or calcium....be sure to get my 64 ounces plus of water a day. I don't drink during meals and not for one hour after, at my doctors request. Maybe I really need to just start measuring my food again. I am kind of away from that right now. I have been just eyeballing it. What do you think??? Don't be shy about telling me the truth. Hugs, connie d

It just sounds ( and certainly looks!) like you are doing everything right... ... but, having said that, it did feel good on just liquids for a couple of days... not that I like living in the bathroom, but I did feel kinda cleaned out I guess it wouldn't hurt at all... it's only 5 days and healthy stuff...

Thanks for getting back to me Marc....I think I am going to just do the two day LD and see where I am at that time. Hugs, connie d
