5 Day Pouch Test Hiccup



Recommended Posts

So, today I decided to start a 5 day pouch test because I felt like I was eating more than I was previously and felt like I needed a "restart". I've done the 5 day pouch test previously and it helped me out of a plateau, so I'm trying to do it every couple of months just to keep myself on track.
Anywho, all went well with my first day of liquids until I got home and started slicing up summer sausage and cheese for my little one. Without thinking, I popped a slice of cheese and sausage in my mouth and didn't realize what I'd done until I was reaching for another slice. *facepalm* My question is this for those of you who've done the test; do you think I need to start my first day of liquids over again or should I just keep going and not screw up again? The good news is, after eating that little bit of cheese and meat, I'm feeling satisfied and no longer need to drink my last Protein Shake of the day...yay!

Nah, you're fine. No carbs in cheese and meat so no sweat and you should be able to carry on with your cleansing.

I think your concept as to what this is designed to do for someone who is banded, is 180 degrees out from what I believe it is for.....but then I read different opinions here all the time so who knows....

Whatever works for you in some way, then go for it!

      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.
