What is a pouch test?

Surgery January 27, 2012 325 the morning of surgery. As of today, I am 267. ( I weighed 336 the day I came home, water retention)

Special K water mixes are good and have 5g of protein. Carbonated beverages stretch the pouch and you don't want to do that. Peppermint tea was my go to after ditching coffee and caffeine 8 years ago. I had GB in January of this year. Good Luck

I go for protein first. Liquid egg whites, Greek fat free sugar free yogurt with just a few frozen berries and Splenda, natural peanut butter or sun butter on whole wheat sandwich round-toasted, the pouches of tuna are great on the go and white albacore is high in protein. Tilapia seasoned with lemon pepper and baked/broiled. Turkey breast is one of the highest protein counts too. Use a digital scale or measuring cup and DOCUMENT every meal, water and meds. I have been very lucky in that only lactose is an issue. I do introduce new foods Only when I know I can be home. I do not eat bread daily, just 1-2 times a week. No rice or pasta unless whole wheat and that is rare. Spaghettis squash is a great alternative and tastes great with meat sauce. I had surgery January 27th and at times weight loss is slow but it is steady and I exercise 5 days or more a week. Mainly walking and yard work. GEt up moving and unleSs you can meet protein need first, leave the fillers alone.
