First Timr on Food after Time Out

OK, so yesterday was my first time eating food after almost a full week on the TIME OUT plan.  Due to the fact it was my BD...I reasoned it wasok, after all, my friends dragged me out!!  Anyway, I ordered the french onion soup minus the bread and cheese...it was soooo delicious!!!  Then, I split a side salad with Chicken and a great balsamic vinagrette...and guess what??? I COULDN'T EVEN FINISH THE SOUP!!!!  I had 2 bites of the salad....I WAS FULL!!!!!!  I am SOOOO not believing this plan works but it is proven...my pouch has definitely shrunken!!  I'm so excited...now I just have to make sure I don't stretch it out again!!   I am going to continue back this week with the TIME OUT plan...this will be my last week.  I plan on increasing my exercise because I didn't do as much as I should have last week... I just want to say THANK YOU to PATTI AND MOLLYMAE...and anyone else who might have started the TIME OUT....it has given me a new outlook and has given me the positive attutude again that I CAN DO IT!!!     Good luck all!!!! 

Congratulations! Way to Go! I, too agree that the pouch gets smaller again. I felt that way on Saturday when I tasted some baked lays chips. I had a few and I was full. Actually my pouch didn't like them and I got an upset stomach. I'm on the time out again since yesterday and doing it through Friday for sure. Thanks to everyone here for their support, understanding and sharing your own experiences! Hugs, Lucy

I was also a bit skeptical and frantic that I had stretched out my pouch irreversibly. I was VERY pleased that I can feel satisfied now with a cheese stick and a half or a scoop of tuna and a handful of celery sticks!!  That was what I had hoped for with the surgery and I am glad to regain that. Now to keep it going!!!
