I want to try this test too. I am 3 years post op and I find i am eating more., I was wondering when you do the 5 day test can you add fruits to your protein on days 1 and 2? I like to add a banana and strawberry and low fat yougurt to make the protein more palatable. Is this too much?

According to the 5DPT manual...  Days one and two: liquids are to be one cup measure, to be consumed within 15 minutes, the beverages are to be 15 grams of protien and fewer than 5 grams of carbs. They can be made without protien powders using low fat cottage cheese, yogurt, fruit and berries. My carb counting book lists one l bannana as 27 carbs and 105 calories, 1 protien and tr fat. Lots of calculations...but you can get to the fewer than 5 grams of carbs with flavorings such as DaVInci sugar free syrups. It's only two days to I'm sure you can get creative. Go to 5daypouchtest.com for some great recipies. Enjoy!!!
