I have been at a plateau for more than 8 weeks and ranging between 170-175, so I decided to do the 5-day pouch test.  On the Whey Protein Isolate, it says not to drink more than 4 servings.  For the people who have done this, how many servings of protein shake do you drink during days 1-2.  When I make my shake, I make it with skim milk and ice, so there is plenty to drink in one serving.  Any other suggestions on what you ate during the 5-day pouch test would be great.  I am just doing it to try to break this plateau and break some carb cravings I have been having lately.  Thanks in advance...

Drink as many shakes as you want or need to control hunger.  I have never seen a limit on the number of shakes you can have per day.

What exactly is this test for?

It's supposed to help with weight stalls and help control carb cravings. So you go on a liquid diet similar to what you were probably on prior to surgery (I only had to do a 24 hr liquid diet prior to surgery).  I have heard that it normally does help you lose some weight but I've never tried it.
