Whats a five day pouch test???

Hi, I was banded 9/25/09 and I started soft foods today. I can only eat 4oz per meal and that seems to fill me. The hardest part for me is eating s l o w l y !! LOL Right now I'm @ 15 mins per meal and trying very hard to stretch that to 20 mins. The longer it takes me to eat the less I will eat. Lori

Hi, I was banded Sept 25, 2009, by Dr. Ehrlich in Fairfield CT. I'm on week 2 "All Liquids" and doing good. I'm worried about next week "Pureyed Food". What are some suggestions on what to eat. I'm already tired of soup and pureying chicken sounds disgusting to me. Would appreciate any ideas. I was thinking maybe Low Fat Refried Beans and Hummus, but beans aren't till week 5 per the diet outline I was given. I'm really looking forward to being apart of this forum!!!!!

Thanks everyone for the great ideas! I see my Dr. Tomorrow for my 1st post op visit and weigh in:thumbup: Can't wait!! Loopy618
