Hey LBT members, I was just wondering if anyone has ever tried the 5 day pouch test. If so, what were your results...how well did you do? How much weight did you lose in those 5 days?

Hey Everybody, I've been enjoying getting into high gear with my workouts, especially since I've started Spin class and using my XBox 360 Kinect. But I am finding that my workout partner (my husband) is not as motivated as me. And when he doesn't feel like working out, he tries to discourage me. I don't know if it's on purpose or what. But I am kinda feeling like I am in this by myself. Most of my friends are either broke or live out of town, so I don't have anyone to work out with! It's very frustrating. So my question is...how do you stay motivated when you're by yourself?

Hey Everybody! The pouch test should only be a gradual increse in Protein. So you start with liquid Protein for 2 days, soft protein for 2 days and then solid protein for the last day. Soft protein could be tuna, or any kind of fish, cottage cheese etc... More solid protein would be chicken, grilled meats, steak, etc From what I've read, we can't eat veggies during this time. I actually completed my 5 days and I lost like 2.3 lbs. Not good enough! LOL Has anyone had any success??

I have the Wii fit which I love! One thing I like is the customized goal setting and fitness plans that it offers. I also like the fact that it takes all of the work out of remembering what your last measurments and weight was. Each day you can do a body test to see where you stand. However XBOX 360 KINECT IS THE NEXT BIGGEST THING!! I love it!! No balance board or controllers. So if you weigh more than 330 lbs, no worries, you can still workout and get the full benefit. Games like Biggest Loser, Zumba Kinect and Kinect Sports are just some of the ones that can really get you a great work out. I had friends over on yesterday and we played Kinect sports for about 2 hours...my body bug read that I had burned over 600 calories!!

Hey Everybody... this is day 3 of my test... I had 1 cup of cottage cheese and a Protein shake so far (had to throw a couple of strawberries on it otherwise I can't eat cottage cheese :-D) For lunch I plan to have tuna salad and 1 deviled egg

Hey Everybody, For those of you that stated you were starting the Pouch Test today, I am opening the forum! We can come here, document what we are consuming and ask questions. Veteran bandsters are welcomed!! Even if you're not doing the pouch test, any type of jumpstart back into your WAY OF EATING is welcomed. Please, only positive and constructive feedback.

Hi Missy!! That's a great idea. If you want we can all do it next Monday - Friday. That will give us our 5 days....I am going to be logging my menus here as well as on FB for all those that are watchin me lose. OCT4BLR I don't think that's a stupid question at all. I ididn't buy the book about the 5 day pouch test. However, I know its focus is more on low carb high Protein options. Since Beans are higher in carbs, I would say stay away from them during the pouch test.

Wow!! Thanks everybody for the feedback...I am trying it now. I find the liquid phase the hardest to follow, but I am going to give it a whirl and see what happens. I've been working my butt off in the gym and I'm ready to see some serious results.

I recently had an adjustment. I haven't felt like I've hit my sweetspot in a long time but I am not sure if this is it. I can eat a fairly good amount of food, but not a whole lot. But I don't feel hungry at all during the day. I've been trying to eat something, but whenever I do, I feel overfull. If I'm not hungry, should I just not eat. How will I get my grams of Protein in otherwise. Am I to tight if I don't feel hungry? Not to sure what the sweet spot feels like. Can someone help me??

Hello! I am not new to LBT, but for some reason I couldn't sign on with my old login stuff when they changed it to this version. However, I am about 9 months post op. At first, I had a lot of momentum, now it seems like the thrill is gone. I don't know what to eat. Should I still be measuring food? I am also suffering from CARB CRAVINGS!!! It's killing me. Plus I need some help on what to do for a work out. I just need a positive successful person to be accountable to. I am ready to get back in high gear before January...no New Year's Resolutions for me! Time is now.
