5 day pouch test link

Hi everybody -

 

I am 19 months post-op, and despite Christmas am maintaining at 135 pounds.

I do feel, however, that I am sliding back into old habits in the evenings, especially in front of the TV - those snacks and sliders (crackers, popcorn) are inching their way back into my diet.

 

Karen and a bunch of others have done the 5-day pouch test with great results before, so I looked it up - using the SEARCH function on the OH site wasn't the easiest, but here's the link

I intend to try it later this week. Hopefully I won't be starving all the time.

I started today- would love to have company ;0)

I always suggest Google. I find everything that way - even on OH. lol

I'm planning on doing this later this week as well. I watch (some call  it stalk but that's not very nice lol) what they ate drank etc so I've got a lot of info ready.

Now I felt my pouch tighten up but apparently it's for "decarbing" your body? Either way towards the end of the week I'd be up for it and would like support

 

I do it to kick carbs to the curb.  There is no such thing as "shrinking your pouch". But it's an effective 5 days. I never go into it hoping to lose weight, just get off the cracker train.

lmao.. "Crack Train".. should rename it to that

With my sugars doing well, i wonder about trying this out....in the future. I'm feeling good at how I eat right now....although just before this post, I went back to the fridge for my snack (earlier than usual), and wondered how and if anyone ever starts the 5DPT while pmsing.....i'm STARVING today!!

I wouldn't fool around with what's working well for you, Kelly.

True enough. There is no need for me to try it right now. I have my groove going. Even with the holidays, I still maintained. I'm happy with the scale (wait? Did I just say that?? LOL)

I've become a cracker nut too.... will look into 5 day pouch test too.
