In Review: Did you do the 5 Day Pouch Test in January?

Link to Pinterest for Image

Did you take five days in this first month of 2017 to reset your dietary and lifestyle habits to align with our weight loss surgery guidelines? You are not alone. January is the most popular month of the year to do the 5 Day Pouch Test. We all want a fresh start that shows promise for self-improvement. As the month closes let's take a moment to reflect on what we accomplished in our five days and how we can keep the momentum in favor of forward progress.

5DPT is about Learning, Not Perfection

If we complete the 5 Day Pouch Test having learned a few things about our self, our weight loss surgery and our capability in managing life and weight loss surgery in relationship to one another we have succeeded: we can deem the 5 Day Pouch Test a success. Here are some things to consider while treating the 5DPT as a learning experience:

What can I eat that gives my pouch a feeling of fullness? What do I eat that fails to give my pouch a feeling of fullness?

Have the liquid restrictions become automatic to me? Do I have heightened awareness of how I consume liquids with my meals and snacks?
Refresher: Lots of Water & Liquid Restrictions

Am I eating protein in a ratio of 2 bites protein to 1 bite complex carbohydrate? (2B/1B Rhythm)
Article: Why 'Protein First' helps us lose weight

Have I found time to include physical activity in my daily routine?
Inspired Encouragement: No energy? Walk Toward the Light

Am I allowing myself to feel empowered when I make choices that nourish my body and respect my weight loss surgery? Read this: New Year's Resolved: Five Strategies for Success

Am I forgiving lapses in compliance with my guidelines and moving forward to make better choices the next time?

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST have for WLS patients! September 4, 2013

By Kathy Cashatt

Format:Perfect Paperback

I had WLS 3 years ago next week. This book is the most helpful of all the many books I bought. As a matter of fact, it's place is in my kitchen drawer. It's always at my finger tips for referral. The recipes are the best too. My entire family eats the food I cook out of the book so I have to cook double. The 5 Day Pouch Test is a must have reference. The best help of all for WLS patients!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Must have for anyone with WLS September 4, 2013

By Karen Gomes

Format:Perfect Paperback

I have this book and live by it. Kaye Bailey is an advocate for those of us that have had weight loss surgery. She has written this book with love and experience. When I get off track from weight loss surgery and feel hopeless, I pick up this book and follow the five day pouch test. In those five days I feel back in control and empowered. Another plus to doing the five day pouch test is that I usually lose a few pounds as a bonus. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has had WLS. I have bought several of these books as gifts for my new weight loss surgery friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Real Thing October 14, 2013

By Judy

Format:Kindle Edition

I have had this book since it first came out, and am thrilled to see a Second Edition and that it's now available on Kindle!

I had my weight loss surgery back in 1986, the Dark Ages of WLS. In those days the procedure was relatively rare and quite misunderstood. Furthermore, although I initially lost a lot of weight, I regained a great deal of it. I considered my WLS to be a failure, and it became my dark little secret. I spoke of it to nobody, and even my own children didn't know I'd had it.

Eventually, I managed to get back on track and obtained a healthy weight, which I've maintained since 1996. But my WLS was all but forgotten by even me -- until I found Kaye Bailey out on the internet a number of years ago.

Kaye is the Real Thing. A "pouch owner" herself for 10 years now, she understands all the challenges faced by those who travel the WLS journey today. Even before the "5DPT" came to be, Kaye's emphasis was on LIVING AFTER WLS -- not merely trying to achieve the body one always dreamed of, but of LIVING every day of that journey. Even while dealing with setbacks, misconceptions and occasional stumbles and serious falls, Kaye knows that at the same time we can and should experience the JOY of life while learning to love ourselves and the God-given miracle of our bodies.
