Who is on the train with me..5 day pouch test

Welcome 2010 in with a great start. 5 day pouch test.

I am going to start the 5 day pouch test on Monday. Who is with me?

Does my pouch still work?
Have I broken my pouch?
Am I doomed to be a failure at this too?
Can I lose the weight I've regained?
Is the honeymoon period over?

If you are asking these questions, you might want to join me and others on the train.

The first two days are all liquids. You can have as many low-carb protein shake as you like to satisfy hunger or cravings. In addition drink at least six 8-ounce glasses of water each day. The purpose of all liquids is to break any snacking, grazing or processed carbohydrate habits. In addition the liquids will work to cleanse your system and prepare you for the following three days.

Try to reduce your caffeine intake as well, but do not stop caffeine cold turkey or you will feel sick and frustrated potentially losing the desire to continue with the pouch test.

Here are some recipes for day one and two:

Also take some time to read up on what you will need to the rest of the week. (Day 3, 4 and 5)

So, who is taking the ride with me???

I will post each night about eight, so we can talk about how the day went. I will post frist thing monday morning to start the week.

Let me know who on board............

Lu,
I will hope on in with you!  Why not?  :-) 

Why not indeed...
Welcome aboard Lola.....
May this ride be a smooth....

Have a great day..

Lu

I have been MIA and seriously need the pouch test to get over the holiday munchies I have gotten used to. I am on board. I better pack me a shake or two because I am working tonight!

 yep. im on.. the only catch (isnt there always one?) is that i have medication that i need to take with food or i gag it up. maybe cottage cheese? i can, at the very least, only eat as much as it takes to actually take the meds and not a morsel more! lol

ps: does peanut butter blended in a shake count as liquid?
