baparrett70 4 Posted February 28, 2013 Hi everyone.... On my last thread I had asked if anyone tried the 5 Day Pouch Test? Well... I did. It works... I'm back on track now. No more carb cravings and taught me to measure foods again. Even though I was following my doctors plan I must have just been missing that one step. I even lost 2.8 lbs. That alone finally gave me the confidence and push that I need to not give up to keep moving forward!!!! I even tried Zumba for the first time and it felt great!!!! I highly recommend the 5DPT for anyone that is struggling or just needs a reset!!! Big shout out to the author Kaye Bailey..thank you!!!! 3 sharonk, DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! and lv2nurse reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baparrett70 4 Posted March 2, 2013 Thanks everyone.... Yes, I feel like I'm back at the beginning and it feels great!!! The 5DPT is a condensed version of what you would do the weeks after surgery. Below is a link to the website. If you feel like you need to get balanced again, got a little side tracked and want to see if your band is still working I highly recommend trying this for a week. http://5daypouchtest.com/plan/theplan.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmm' date=' believe you just answered my question about what to fix tomorrow night.. Thanks!!! LOL[/quote'] I made it a couple of week ago and froze it. Soooo glad I did. And the weather we are having here in the Northeast says chili is a must! :-) I didn't think I was going to get through the night last night. All I could think about was what I was going to eat today. No lie. My stomach was growling so bad that I couldn't even get comfortable. But I survived!
