Good Morning! I too am tryng the 5 day pouch test, today is day 2, and I think that I did remarkaby well yesterday. It wasnt as bad as I thought, just trying to get through today. Good Luck to you! Aliya

Hi Aliya, I am on my first shake. i use skim milk. is that ok? how much soup do you eat? half cup, one cup? i only have cream of chicken and cream of mushroom. i do have tomato. i dont think tomato is creamed. i will need help..i had my decaf coffee  already.            anita

Hi Anita I just had decaf with a dab of skim - I think its ok, but not sure, we should get clarification. reaching for my Nectar as we speak....I have cream of brocolli, yesterday I did a whole cup of chicken broth, with no problem, I'll let you know how much of the cream soup I do...Good Luck, and keep me posted.

hi all,  well its 7:28 pm and i am doing well so far with day 1. i have had 3 shakes already. i did have cream of chicken soup for lunch and dinner. i just hope after these 5 days i wont be grazing and eating all those carbs. today i was 154 pounds. i hope it does move... anita

Congrats on a successful day 1! i did very well as well...didnt like my cream of broccoli soup though...its funny when I really think about it, I haven';t even been "hungry", you know that same alleged hunger that had me snacking all day.

thank you. i feel good. i dont even feel hungry either. when i was at the gym and there was a commerical on for food i said to myself no food.. i had cream of chicken. it was quite good i thought. tommorow will be cream of mushroom.. now i just have to stay off the scale for 5 days. it will be hard. but i will stay off it. good luck to you... anita

congrats for doing well on your first day. here's hoping day 2 goes as well! Good Luck Jean

I too just started today. I talked big like I was going to start last week, then read someone on this blog suggest to start on a Monday and that was all the urging I needed to put it off! Anyway, I had a skim milk late this morning that I made myself, but I confess to using about 1T of hershey's syrup in it for sweetener. I looked at the calories and thought that it would be better to do that than the unlimited amount of chocoalte I eat all day long at will!  I really think that the malnutritive aspect of the surgery has been what's kept the majority of my weight off. Because it hasn't been me. Anyway, enough self bashing.... I then made myself a protien shake 2 hours later and am sipping that wretched thing. I just have to make it through today.   I'll be thinking of you all through out the day.  Thanks for reading. Jean

Hey Jean,   Thanks, and Good Luck today!!! Keep me posted...chug that shake down gir!
