Day 5 of the Pouch Test

Ok day 4 is over and have started day 5.    So far so good.   Still not hungry and sticking to the plan. Last night for dinner I had scrambled eggs with chopmeat.   Had that very uncomfortable feeling, pouch telling me if I eat one more bite this is going to be very painful and come back up. So far today had my coffee and 2 bottles of water on the way to work.   I have planned to have the rest of scrambled eggs and chopmeat for breakfast.    For lunch I brought in a chicken cutlet and will cut that up and have for lunch. Well I weighed myself this morning and did a high five to myself.    My weight on Monday morning was 227 and today was 218  that is 9 pounds gone.  I am just please that I got below 220.  I am determined to not let it get above the 220 again.  Good luck everyone and check in.   We can stay on TRACK.   Laura

Wow Laura - Congrats - 9 pounds is soooo excellent!!!!  I stayed on focus yesterday. I got in about 750 calories but not enough water.  I am down 5 pounds this week! I actually put on a skirt this morning and it's falling off of me. It fit just fine last week!!! I can't believe the difference 5 pounds can make in clothing sizes. I NEVER would have noticed a 5 pound flux when I weighed 266 that's for sure.  Have a great day

Hi Laura: Starting day 5 woohoo!  I am filling in for a friend at the office today so I will be working a 9-5 schedule.  I'm in Real Estate so my hours usually or very flexible.  I have packed my food and drinks for today so I should be okay.  I am down 5 lbs as of today.  Yesterday was a head hunger day or boredom day because I was stuff in the house all day due to the messy weather here.  I survived but it was not easy.  Congratulations on your 9 lb loss.  That is awesome.  Chat with you later. Darlene

That's fantastic Laura! Congrats on your success!

Today is day 5.  What a week!  I can't say I have been hungry this week.  Alittle head hunger last night.  Ate a tablespoon of peanut butter.  It was good.  I then proceeded to try on clothes.  What a fun time that was!  I lost 6lbs.  But what a differance  it makes.  Congratulations to all of us!  Now lets keep this momentum going.  I really am glad that my clothes are fitting better.  And the pouch tightness is deffinatly there.  It should be called the pouch reset plan not a test!  I really feel positive hopefully this will continue.  Prayers to all for continued success.  Sheila

I’m ready to rock and roll on day 5.  Yesterday I had ground beef, salmon, black beans (not sure if these are allowed), protein drinks and lots of  water.  Still not hungry and NOT craving simple carbs.  That’s a huge thing for me.  I am down a few pounds, too, but getting rid of the carb monster is what has made this all worth it.

 

Laura, thanks for posting, I haven't had much time to be on the boards but keep reading and promising myself to start the 5 day pouch test and still 2 weeks later I say I'll start tomorrow. I have what I need and need to drop some weight.....you just gave me that "push" to do it. Thanks!

Thanks Ladies, I also put on a shirt today and it is loose I am drinking a protein shake right now.  I figured I need to get in my water I might as well get some protein in too. I also hope this lasts, well I am determined to make it last, the real test will be Saturday night, I have a Halloween party.  The good news it is late at night and you are really expected to eat at home.  I won't be checking in until Monday, as my computer at home is down.   Hang in there everyone and speak to you on Monday.
