5 day pouch test

oh my gosh! 5 day pouch test! i was required 2 week liquid diet before surgery (just had surgery 1/25/08 so this would be day 5!) and am now required to have a 4 week post-op liquid diet. after that i can move to soft proteins... then i go in for another check up so i can graduate to hard proteins. *i* want to eat my keyboard! best of luck to you all :)

Please help!!!   I despiratly need to get back on track.  I was banded 2.5 yrs ago and have only lost 45 pounds. I haven't lost a pound in a year. could you help me with the 5 day pouch test. I'm going to go ahead and try what I've heard others here say.  but it sounds like we've had the same issues. If you get this in the next 5 days, please let me hear from you!

I cannot say enough GOOD about the 5dpt. It literally turned around YEARS of poor behavior. If I can be of ANY assistance, PLEASE do not hesitate to ask!!

Hi there, very encouraging to read.  I'm on day 2 - got through day 1 - it was rough!  Can't wait to eat a soft egg tomorrow!  Makes me feel in control again, which is a good thing!  Good luck and thanks for responding.   Curious - just what did you have for first 2 days of liquid?  I'm only having protein shakes, and broth - I see on the menus some soups w/ beans, pudding - that does not sound like pure protein to me. 

Susan, I did protein shakes and broth only myself BECAUSE I couldn't wrap my mind around the fact that cream soup is allowed......I consider it a carb and for me and my pouch I needed pure protein. Congrats on the 2 days.........now listen to your pouch as to fullness, I do believe you find yourself eating less and in control.

I am 6 years out and have gained approx. 35 lbs. in the last 3 years.  Do you think this would help me out?

what is this 5 day pouch test and where do i find more info?

fivedaypouchtest.com except do not spell out the number 5.

its a great website and there are recipes for day 1 and 2. I am starting mine tomorrow because I have to gain control and lose these last 10 pounds that I gained in the last 4 months.

I just had my one year anniversery. My weight loss has slowed down a lot. Can someone please write down the instructions for me on how to do the 5dpt? I would really appreciate it. I see my surgeon June 1st and am 11 lbs away from my goal. I would really like to lose the 11 lbs. by June 1st.
