I am so bad!
I just ate leftover popcorn and a 100 calorie bag of quacker rice cakes!!! I wasen't even hungry UGGGGGGG! Sometimes I wonder why I can't just say no. Tommorrow I was planning on starting the pouch protein thingy but I am nervous. I feel like I use to when I started a diet pre-op. I don't have some of the things I need to do the diet so I will need to go to the store tonight so i will have it all on hand. I do have my protein powder. Pray for me! I am happy to be able to come here and talk with you all. Thanks and God bless, Penni
Penni,
I'm assuming you are takling about starting the 5 day pouch test diet? I've never tried it but I can tell you my tale about pouch shrinking. Hopfully it will show you what the pouch test could do for you.
I was in the hospital after emergency surgery on my intestines. They didn't want me to eat anything for four or five days afterwards because of the surgery. So for those days, all I had was a saline and dextrose IV solution to keep me going. After I could start to eat again, I could only eat half of what I could eat before. For example, before I could eat a whole Lean Cuisine meal. Now, I'm lucky to eat half. While the surgery may have contributed a little bit to this change, I truly believe that not eating any solid food for those four or five days, shrunk my pouch back down to its original size. It's been two weeks since my surgery and I'm feeling much better. I can drink all I want. I still can't eat as much. And I've lost 12 pounds.

I've been flat on my back recovering from a Tummy Tuck and Breast Lift in the past 3 weeks. I was on Percocet and so I kept eating horrible food every 2-3 hours to take the medicine. I ate crackers and cheese, pretzles, even some of my kid's popsicles. OMgosh! It has not been good.
BUT, tomorrow's a new day! Let's do the 5 day pouch test together. I REALLY don't need to test my pouch. It's there. It works. The capacity is fine. I DO need to regain control and get mentally tough again.
I did the 5DPT last year with GREAT success. Success for me came in the form of a fresh beginning, a wake up call to my system and a regain of control. It's a superb way to start over and have a date on the calendar that stands for a fresh start!
Wanna do it with me starting tomorrow or starting Wed? ONLY if you want!

Penni,
get rid of the popcorn and rice cakes then. If having them around is a problem, then dump them. your family will survice. Get instead some pork rinds and soy crisps that you can eat in moderation when the hungrie**** you. But again, up your liquid protein and that will help. Give yourself some good options, like if you go and drink a glass of protein or water, you may not be hungry later. Or just try eating with the front of your teeth. I do that alot, forces me to eat slow, instead of just chomping mindless away with my molars. I like foods I have to eat one at a time.
we are here for you....and ask God for His strength Penni....He really does care.

Oh, I did the same thing today. I ended up with an extra Kash bar in my desk drawer -- I always take a day's worth at a time because I'll eat whatever is there -- and right before I ate it, I said, "You're not hungry, maybe you shouldn't eat that." But like an out of body experience, the Kashi bar was unwrapped and on its way to my stomach. There was no stopping it. Tomorriow is another day.
