Arrggghhh!!!

Yes, this is how I felt during Day 1 of the 5 Day Pouch Test. I am feeling better today but yesterday was HELL! I was grouchy, hungry, jittery...just plain miserable. But today is a new day...! A bright sunny day with a nice lower number on the scale. Yesterday I was 280, today 274.8. I am pleased. I worked out last night too. 30 mins on the elliptical and about 11 mins on the treadmill. I ran most of it. I am trying to prepare for a 5k in June. My goal is to run the entire thing.

There was a comment about my 5 Day Pouch Test and why I am doing it. I am doing this to get back on track. Detox from my carb overload lately. Get re-focused on my goal and treat my band with respect. I am getting back to the band basics and hopefully losing a few lbs in the process.

I purchased a book from Amazon. It is called: "Bandwagon: Strategies for Success With the Adjustable Gastric Band". Has anyone read it? Any reviews?

  10. Let us know about the book.

    As for the pouch test - it reminded me of that horrid time when I first started the liquid diet before surgery :o) But I got over it a lot faster this time. Good luck with the pouch test. It can be difficult, but it is worth it!!
