after day one of pouch test Im up 3 pounds, need advise!

Im up 3 pounds from yesterday morning. Im thinking its from all the sodium, carbs and sugars in the soups I had. Maybe I should stick with protein shakes. If you read the backs of the cans the amounts listed are per serving which is only 1/2 cup. If you eat  or( drink)the soup like I did the whole can you have 2.5 servings. 1/2 cup of soup isnt much, is that everyone else is having? I must of had to much, I need help with serving sizes on the soups everyone is having. I even bought the low sodium soups????? Please help, Debra

Could be the sodium or it could be that your body has gone into starvation mode and is hanging onto the water because it's hedging against famine..I've seen this happen right out of surgery too. People lose weight for a while and then stop and actually put on a pound or two... But I'm no expert. Someone else further out than me could chime in here.

Its the sodium,,I did that too.  remember too, the purpose of the pouch test is to reset the pouch to post surgery sensitivity, not necessarily to lose weight. I only lost 3 pounds altogether, and I did it for 10 days. But I sure can tell a difference in what and how much I can eat now. Its like I just had the surgery, and I lost some inches too. hang in there,,and drink lots of fluids. The test is definately worth doing! Blessings Betsy

Thank you Besty for your words of encouragement. Im trying to get more fluids in today as in plain water. Boy am I going to the bathroom, must be from retaining from yesterday. Im sure I'll be Ok after today and I can start on soft proteins. Ive had 2 cups of coffee, 2 bottles of water and 1 protein drink so far today. I have been keeping myself busy painting in the basement. Hope everyone else is doing well, Debra
