5 Days over!

I never thought it possible, but I did the 5 day pouch test.  I would like to rename it as the "reset your pouch days."  I know  now my pouch is in working order I just need to keep it that way.  The mind set is the key to any weight loss story is what it boils down to.  I have to remember to not drink with my meals, the biggest thing I learned is I have to plan.  Plan my meals and snacks and liquids.  If I fall off the wagon I need to just remember the basics.  I hope all you out there have learned something from doing these 5 days.  Some times I just forget and go back to old habits.  I need to make this week my new habits.  Lost about 7 lbs.  Clothes fit better and this morning my husband and I made cookies.  Funny thing there were more then usual.  I didn't eat any dough made more cookies!  The things we do to disrupt our own goals.  Have a great weekend all!  Sheila 2 1/2 years out, not at goal but always looking for it!  And to quote someone else earlier on the board, "whats wrong with a size 16?" 

WooooooooooooHooooooooooo Sheila!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I just finished the test to and guess what??? I got an A+ on my test. lol  I did GREAT, didn't cheat and lost 5 pounds. My clothes feel better too. And it certainly did reset my pouch - wow, I'm full so quickly now!!!  Great job not eatting the cookies. My family all at Honey Buns last night and I wasn't even tempted to eat one. I was too proud of my week to screw it up on the last day!!

I did the 5DP along w/ you & what I see the most is " I can just eat a little ( like when we 1st had the WLS) and I'm full. I lost a total of 7 lbs., decarbed myself, And feel full faster. What more could a lady want. lol.  Brenda

Brenda, thanks for the support.  I am glad you were able to see results, and get that full pouch feeling too!  Lets stick together and be successful!  Have a great Sunday.  Sheila

Congrates to you too!  We had a family party day today and boy was i ful fast! I ate some carb but was very careful of what I chose.  I really fill up fast! Question, does your program alow you to drink milk with a Meal?  Just wondering if that is alowed.  Have a great Sunday Talk to you next week.  Keep up the good work!  Sheila

Thanks Sheila, No not supposed to drink anything with meals. I can't drink milk at all.... ick!! Can we say "lactose intollerance"  lol  I did eat a small bowl of popcorn tonight - I need some extra fiber.  HUGS

Hi Shelia: I made it through day 5 too.  I lost a total of 6 pounds but mainly I feel great.  I am more carb aware than ever before.  I think planning my meals ahead of time is what is going to work for me too.  Let keep up the awareness and hopefully with everyone's support survive the Holidays that are coming.  Have a great rest of the weekend. Darlene

Darlene,  Thanks for being part of the pouch reset test.  Is it not amazing what those 6 pounds did for you?  And the full feeling I will try a keep this up and be successful for myself and offer help to others.  Through the holidays we will keep up the support and keep the momentum going.  Talk to you next week.  Sheila

Congratulations everyone I lost 9 lbs on it and it put me in a better frame of mind, to eat protein first and do not drink before or after. Keep up the good work and stay on track, if you do run off the track a little, come here right away for the support. Laura
