:sad::thumbup:

The pouch test is really done before a fill to determine if you really need one. Here is the link Surgical Weight Loss 5 Day Pouch Test. It is basically a modified version of the liquid diet from after surgery. It helps to shrink the pouch.

I went to the link but the diet isn't posted unless I buy the entire manual.........could you give me an idea if buying the manual was helpful? It is 20.95 plus shipping. thanks again:thumbup: ps.i do not have a sams club but i know i can find a Walmart

I wouldn't buy the manual. Here is the link from that page for the plan Surgical Weight Loss 5 Day Pouch Test. I just followed the plan listed without actually buying any book. It really does help when you aren't sure if you need a fill.

As far as the almonds, I have seen them at other grocery stores, so hopefully they won't be too hard to find.

Have a great day.

i have done it twice.

once after christmas - too much holiday goodies & i had gained a few, and another time during a plateau.

you will lose weight - but i found it more to control bad eating habits & to determine if i needed a fill.

each time i had good results, lost a few, regained better eating habits, and realized no need for a fill.

there is a link here for the test...

could you please tell me where you buy /and or make cocoa almonds sounds delicious

I get them at Target they come in the 100 calorie packs... It is a great snack I eat a few am full and kinda get my chocolate fix :sad:

[kcmagu 3]

Linro - Welcome by the way. I get a big box of the light chocolate muscle milk premade shakes at costco - haven't seen premade of the Cookies and cream but would be interested in them as well. I have heard that they make the cookies and cream light muscle milk powder - but haven't bought any yet.

[luluc 6]

i have seen the muscle milk light & regular (cookies / creame) at my 24hr fitness.....i think they are a bit more pricier there.

honestly - this is my favorite Protein drink.

my grocery store (tom thumb) started carrying the pre-made shakes in banana cream & chocolate mint.

i made a smoothie for my husband this morning (he's also banded):

1 muscle milk banana cream

1/4c fresh squeezed oj

6 frozen mangos (act as ice cubes)

he has trouble eating in the morning and he called from the road saying he wants this every am.

i also froze the chocolate mint one - and it's his "ice cream"....

hey KC!!!!

[kcmagu 3]
