Day 2 of 5 Day Pouch Test

Anita - While I was in Baltimore yesterday for some baseline visits (my RESTORe procedure is tomorrow), I spent 2 leisurely hours purusing the isles of Wegmans in Hunt Valley, MD.  Man, what a store!  I can't wait until they build one here in NC.  When will the Woodbridge store be opening? Betsy

My daughter got the job she applied for so she's going to be a cook!  YAY!  She's really excited. (Almost as much as I am!) The store is scheduled for "Spring 2008" ...At the rate it is moving along, I'd guess before June...Drove passed it yesteday on my way to the doc's office. She has to travel to the Fairfax store for training until the Wdbg store opens. (2 hours and all the traffic) But the pay and benefits are so great for a teen just starting out. I'm glad too because she's off our military Insurance very soon!   Yes!  I can spen 2-3 hours in there. If I hear any news on a NC store, now that I have a little mole in the store, I'll let you know!  Good luck tomorrow sweetie!  I hope you have awesome results! Hugs Anita

Thanks!  I'm sure I'll be back on and posting by Friday, if not later on tomorrow.  Betsy

Melissa - Where do you buy arctic frapp cappacino protein powder?  About the pb2?  Is that what is is called?  I've never seen it.  What grocery store? Thanks, Betsy

Great to hear how you are all doing...only a few days left - I KNOW you can all do it.  That's what this journey is all about - taking back control in your lives. You can do it Yes you can You can do it Yes you can!! From a side lining cheer leader - hey, us cheer leaders get to exercise while cheering you guys on - hehe

ok folks, so call me a newbee, but what is the purpose of this and when do you do it?  I have noticed that I am eating more often lately and eating more sugar   So, tell me all about this pouch test thing.

Sharlene Go to 5daypouchtest.com and it will explain it all.  The 5 day pouch test was designed by a WLS patient (quite brilliant lady) and it is for WLS patients (grads) who have either gained weight and/or eating the wrong types of foods etc.  It is meant to "reset" your pouch and also help you get back to the basic way of eating prescribed to us post op.   Many people report weight loss as a result, although it is designed to get u back into the way of eating/living post operatively which in turn WILL cause you to lose the extra weight..... Good luck! Lorri

Thanks so much, Lorri.  You will see me on here from time to time.
