HI everyone,

To get back on track, I decided to do the 5 day pouch test.  On day 2 now

Yesterday was tuff,  All liquids, protein shakes, clear ofrcream soups, and boy did I pee a lot LOL!  I re-educated myself and faced my mistakes, honestly I know what I have been doing wrong for a while, but this test is putting it in perceptive. 

Quick question -- I had a hell of a headache last night and again this morning, for me it was close to a migraine, which I never get.  Is this from the lack of carbs and sugar?

I did eat a small clementine last night as recommended by the site.

Any advice is appreciated -- Ann JD - Back on Track for 2009!

You can do it!!! I love the 5 day opuch test and regularly make the black bean celery soup and add in cabbage. Take tylenol! That is how I make it ~ Holli

Thanks for the encouragement Holli

I fell better now, took some Motrin and laid back down for an hour.  Now having my morning Holiday Protein Egg Nog Shake. (unjury, skim milk, SF Egg Nog Flavor)  ..

Yesterday I prepared and made the split pea and ham soup, SF Protein Pudding, and have a ton of flavored Protein shakes.  Plan to have 2-3 protein shakes today again, water and soup.  Maybe a clementine again this evening.  Of course water.

So on Day 3, you can have soft protein.  I plan to have a protein shake and Fage yogurt, maybe a scrambled egg with cheese.

For Day 4 and 5, I going out to buy some fish.

I get a little confused on the 5 Day Pouch Test WWW site, but I think I got it.

Wish me luck!

Sounds good! Stay with it! Jell-o is a good eat as well! Crystal light slightly frozen is like a slushy! Let me know how many pounds are gone at day 5! Holli

Be careful taking Motrin not good for our pouches.

I normally post on the Minnesota boards but decided to do a little browsing to see what is new out there. Please explain what this 5 day pouch test is and what is it supposed to do for us. I am getting way over my head with carbs this past few weeks and do not want to undo all the success I have had since surgery.

I found out about the 5 day pouch test here on this site.  Just google, 5 day pouch test and a website will come up that explains everything.

today, I ventured into food.  Again had a protein shake in the am, always tight in the morning.  Lunch was a piece of string cheese and a home made egg/quiche that I baked.  Dinner, poached flounder and some vegetables.

Really paid attention to the portions and chewing, felling full, etc.

Snack, another Protein shake.

What is a clementine?????

I am going to do the 5 day pouch test starting Thursday.

Where do you get egg nog flavoring?

A clementine is a small type of orange/Tangerine.  Usually only available in the Northeast around Christmas.  Easy to peel, no seeds, very sweet.

Again, Google lately has been my best friend in finding stuff   I just googled Di Vinci Sugar Free and found -- http://www.davincigourmet.com/  they have a ton of flavors. I am sure you might be able to find them near you, but I just ordered 3 of them on-line, Egg Nog, English Toffee and B-52 which is a chocolate and orange flavor.

Keep up the good job.  I am also on my 3rd day of revamping because I wasn't doing what I wass supposed to.  Peed a lot the first day and still going.  I feel so much better.  The hardest part is not drinking with my meals.  It is a habit I never broke after surgery.  I'm not doing the 5 day pouch test just doing the no liquids with meals and waiting the hour and a half after eating to drink.  I think quitting smoking was easier. 

Good luck on getting back on track.
