I hate diets! I HATE DIETS!!!
I hate diets!!!!! Did I mention that I hate diets?
OK, now that we've established that, I'm about to break my own rules and preach about an eating plan. Not really a diet, but definitely a different way to eat for 5 days.
I forget what post I found the 5 day pouch test in, but it intrigued me. I went to the site, 5daypouchtest.com, and read about it. Decided to give it a shot, and OMG does it ever work!
I actually am on my 6th day today. I did an extra liquid day because I fell in love with the pumpkin sausage soup and wanted an extra day to enjoy it. (Yes, I
did just say I did an extra day of a liquid diet, because it was so good. That alone is proof that this surgery has made me into a new person).
I have lost 6 pounds! And....just like the site said it would, my pouch is tighter than a virgin. I can't even get in 3 ounces of salmon...I ate 2 oz and was full.
If you're feeling like things are a bit out of control and you want to re-gain that feeling that your pouch is tiny and you're in control, give the test a read and see if it's for you. It will re-acquaint you with your wonderful tool. I recommend it whole-heartedly. Would love to hear from others that have tried it....and also if you decide to try it.
