5 DAY POUCH TEST

several of you have replied to my post a couple days ago and want to join in with me for the 5 day pouch test for the new year...we will be starting this test on monday morning january 5th 2009...here is the link to see what it is all about if you don't already know. http://www.5daypouchtest.com/ 

i am so looking forward to doing this to get my pouch (sybil) back on track again!! i will be posting everyday how i am doing and if i am not here soon enough (because i have to work in the mornings sometimes) feel free to post without me. use the heading 5 DAY POUCH TEST and which day it is (2, 3, 4 or 5) and tell us how you are doing on it. good luck to you all and hope this gets you back on track once again!!

Is that Sybil like in the movie?  Yikes, I can understand the name.  Mine is the same, never know what to expect day to day.  Quite clever. 

hi barb...yes thats the one...back when i was first out of surgery my new pouch gave me some problems with the solid foods...so sybil came about to name my pouch....never knew when the food i could eat would not agree with me. now i can eat just about anything without any problem and that why i am going to try the 5 day pouch test to see if i can get it to not accept the no-no foods again...hope it helps!!!

hugs

I might have to try that pouch test with you.  I don't know much about it so I'll check out the website. 

ok...hope to see you posting with the rest of us trying it come monday....good luck!!

hugs

Sigh, count me in. I feel like crap, my feet and hands are swelling.  My clothes don't fit and I just don't like myself very much lately. I have tried this a couple of times before and never made it to day 3 but by gosh I WANT to get back on track again, I did not come this fare to fail.

hi jean!! gosh i am happy to have you join me and the others that will be starting this 5 day pouch test!! i tried it once before also but never made it like you...so with having several of us reporting here during the day monday (and all thru the week) i hope we can ALL make it through and feel better about ourselves!!

So on this 5 day pouch test, day 1& 2 is protein, soups, jello, pudding.  On the third day and thereafter do we include the foods for the previous days as well as what is designated for the third, fourth & fifth days? Like day three would be foods from days 1, 2 & 3??  Or just foods for day 3?

hi barb...i say just the third day for your food is what we will be having. the liquids are just for the first 2 days.
