pouch test question
I am currently on day one of the pouch test. here are my questions, for all those who have successfully completed it: did you get really bad headaches, and what did you do? how long did it take before you tackled your head hunger (which is eating me alive right now!!!)?
what kind of things did you eat in days one and two? i've got the rest figured out, but i can't take cream soups (except for tomato) and most broths alone are too salty. can you eat just SF pudding, gelatin, and protein shakes? what about tea?

Yes i used sfpudding gelatin and protien shakes it went very well. I did have my usual coffee. I broke the carb and head monster! Be strong you know you can be! I didnot let this be a test. it reset my pouch. on day 6 i could not eat much and I felt sated. that is the whole idea behind this is to feel like you just had surgery and listen to your pouch. Good luck Sheila
I didn't eat any cream soups on it either. I just drank bullion and restaurant hot and sour soup. Anything liquid and calorie free.
See this site to answer ALL your questions. Also her forum is great.

I just did water (hot and cold) and protein shakes (made with 2% milk) - nothing else. Each time I felt hungry I'd have one of those - I had 4 shakes throughout the day.
Headahces may be a sign of carb withdrawal (or caffeine if you' ve cut that out too) It is recommended to have a slice of orange if this is happening.
