Day 5 of the 5 Day Pouch Test

Jan 07, 2009

Well I am happy to say I have completed with what I think is success on the 5dpt.  It was so easy to do, I didn't cheat at all, I followed the program to the "T".  Today we were allowed to have firm protein (chicken & beef) well for dinner I made this crock pot garlic & thyme chicken and I measured out 4 ounces and I could not finish the 4 ounces at all.  I was full, before I did this I would have ate the 4 ounces, some mashed potatoes and a veggie.  I am so glad I did this, it really took me back and made me see my mistakes and what I need to get back to doing.  Our surgery is just a tool and if we don't use the tool correctly it won't work.  It is kind of like trying to use a hammer to screw in a screw, it just doesn't happen the way it should.  I have found some great new recipes and will be using them in the future.  I am going to Ocean City, MD with my churches youth group for the Peninsula Delaware Conference annual youth rally, but I have decided I am taking an egg bake for my breakfasts, a case of water, 3 protein bars and some other healthy things for me to eat.  There will be no Dough Rollers pizza going into my pouch or anything else that is bad for me.  I have complete control of my pouch and the head will not win this one. 

I highly recommend anyone who needs to get back on track to try this plan, it is very helpful and fairly easy to do.  I am going to try to do it about every other month too, just to keep me on the straight & narrow.  If anyone has any questions please feel free to contact me, I will answer what I can.
