5 day pouch test



Recommended Posts

I'm really interested in doing the 5 day pouch test and I've looked it up but all I seem to be able to find is a book I have to purchase. Do I just do liquid for 2 days, mushy for 2 and then solid or is it different? I'm lost!!!

I <3 the 5 day pouch test!

Every time I do it I lose weight. It is a great way to get rid of your bad eating, sugar cravings and gets you to do better portion sizes.

The first 2 days is liquids, then soft Protein then firm Protein then regular protein. If you look under the plan there are the days and under the days there are a few recipes you can try.

I have never bought the book as I am sure they wouldn't ship to korea and it probably isn't worth the expensive shipping costs either.

I just finished the 5 day pouch test and lost 3.5 lbs! The weight came off on day 2 but it stayed off until today. I had a few slip ups but what was really nice is that I could actually feel my band working again. During 2 meals I had solid and firm Protein, ribs and eggs, respectively, and the band stopped me from finishing both! I'm so glad this worked.

I forgot to tell you guys that it didn't break my sugar cravings. I just decided to have sugar free ice pops and put purvia in my Protein fruit smoothies to give me that sweet taste instead of real sugar.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
