Has anyone tried the 5 day pouch test?



Recommended Posts

o far so good, I am really working to stick to this whole liquid thing. Isnt that why we get the band so we can have the restriction and stop dieting. WELL, Until we hit our sweet spot it will take much more work than I thought. But I am ready for it. I know a $5500 dollar surgery is probably the expensive way to muster up some self disipline but I will do what every it takes to regain healt and prove to my family an myself that I can be diligent and over come this battle with OBESITY!

I know now it takes time and work.

Today is day 1 of my 5 day Pouch Test (PT). So far so good. I had rediscover the habbit of grazing all day and this PT has helpped with that. I am actually tummy grawling hungery, it is reminding me that this is a good feeling. When I had a bad headache from carb withdrawals I did eat a 1/4 of a banana. The site allows this thankfully. But other than that I am very thankful for the Jello. So ow I am wondering how I am going to cook Fajitas for the family and NOT munch!

Well, time to cook wish me luck!

      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.
