Any1 want to do 5 day pouch test??

[Andrea73]

I really need to get my eating back on track so was thinking of doing the 5 day pouch test starting on Friday. Does anyone want to do it with me so that we have moral support.

My meals are completely non existant just now and I seem to be picking at the wrong things so I feel this would be the best way to get back to basics and embrace my pouch again.

Surgical Weight Loss 5 Day Pouch Test

Hi Claudia

This is the link for the website. Its basically going back to the beginning. I definitely think I have got complacent and am taking my pouch for granted. I'm going on holiday in 5 weeks and want it to work for me so I don't abuse it. Let me know what you think and maybe we could do it together.

Ive been thinking about this myself, but Friday not a good day for me to start as I'm back at work after 4 weeks off.

Good luck with it, and would love to follow your progress. x

 

[Andrea73]

Thats a shame Sam, the more the merrier.

Is there any others that fancy doing the 5DPT??
I am definitely starting tomorrow.

 

[Sambucca]

Good luck with it Andrea. If the first few days go well for you, I may start it on Monday! Scales have been stuck for a while for me again and I need to give them a kick start.

 

[Andrea73]

Thanks Sam. I am really hoping I can do this. So far so good but then it is only 7.55 am LOL.

I'll post what I have to eat/drink throughout these 5 days and I really want to make it....

Good luck hun - I have done the 5DPT - your right it is for getting back on track and cutting carbs completely...dont use it for losing weight...thats just a good side effect! Good luck lovely x

 

[Andrea73]

Well so far today I have had:

2 cups of tea, loads of water
2 x protein shakes
some soup

I am hungry, got a headache and want to keep going and get back on track. I'm sure once I get onto day 2 then it will hopefully be easier. It just goes to show how quickly the carb monster takes over our bodies.

 

[Sambucca]

You've done fab. Well done for sticking to it. If you get tempted to eat, have an early night instead.

I know weight loss isnt the main motivation, but did you weigh yourself this morning before you started?

 

[Andrea73]

Shame on you Sam asking if I had weighed myself. Of course I did LOL. I was 11st 1lb. I could really eat now and am actually asking myself why am I doing this. I've had a bypass etc etc.

 

[shazbrad]

i'd really like to try it again, first time i only lasted 2 days can't do it just yet but hopefuly soon. Good luck hun keep us informed on how your doing xx

Hi Andrea, hope your managing, i did this about 4 months ago and it gets better by day 3, i didnt lose much but i do think it helped a little. I hated the fact of feeling like i was on a DIET again though!!!!!!!

 

[Andrea73]

Lisa you are so right, I think this is the reason I have found it hard going. It is the mentality of being on a diet again and I hate it.

Anyway its day 3 and although I would say I haven't been perfect, I have followed the test 98% which I reckon is pretty good going. As a bonus the scales have also moved. This morning I was 10st 13lb WOOP WOOP

 

[Sambucca]

oh wow... I cant imagine being 10 stone something. Well done. I think sticking to it 98% is great. Cant wait to see whether you can feel your restriction more on your first "food" day of the 5DPT.

 

[Andrea73]

Hi Sam. I know I couldn't believe it when I jumped on the scales this morning cos they really haven't moved for 2 months. You know what I have noticed the restriction which is great. It isn't easy and I couldn't do it very often but I think it is a great reminder on how I have let my eating habits slip.

 

[Lisa J]

Well done Andrea on getting under 11 stone! I've been stuck on 12.2 for a month now, i so wanna be 11 stone something!!
