Day 3 of the 5 Day Pouch Test

OK, so I am on day 3 of the 5 Day Pouch Test. Here's an update so far:

Monday 7/19
Protein shakes blended with frozen fruit
Tomato soup mixed with milk and saltines that were crushed down to little tiny crumbs
Yogurt
Coffee with cream
Lo Carb fudgesicle

I did fine all day - no cravings (actually felt much better than I have been feeling), except late at night I got really hungry. I ended up eating some "mashed up" turkey meatballs I had made on Sunday for dinner. I could already feel my stomach was tighter - I was full after about 5 bites!

Tuesday 7/20
Same stuff as Monday plus I had a couple of bites of some of the meal I made for my family for dinner but literally maybe about 3 bites of rice and 3 bites of watermelon. I also had a tiny bit of eggsalad late at night - I was getting really hungry again but that satisfied me.

Wednesday 7/21 (so far)
Coffee with cream
Slim Fast ready made shake (I can't find the Low-carb ones anymore but I had a few stray cans of this that I need to use up)
1/4 cup homemade egg salad
Sipping on Crystal Light

Amazingly, I have no cravings. Not really hungry but, just like after a fill, when I do get hungry I need something right away, not in 10 minutes. My band seems much tighter. I kind of feel like in the "early" days of having my band. I have heard mixed results about the 5 Day Pouch Test but it is working for me so far. Here's my weight stats so far (although I really must say, it isn't as much about my weight but that I feel tighter and more in control of my eating again):
Monday AM: 239.0 lbs
Tuesday AM: 235.6 lbs
Wednesday AM: 232.2 lbs

I will update tomorrow.
God bless!
