5 Day Pouch Test Bulletin: Top FAQs of 2016

Greeting from Kaye: 

"Hello dear readers and happy 2017! I do hope you are off to a great start and have made a pledge to making 2017 your healthiest year ever.

Today we deliver our most popular newsletter of the year: a review of the top 10 FAQs about the 5 Day Pouch Test from the previous year. This year our newsletter is a bit lengthy. The marketers keep telling us to keep newsletters brief, that readers do not have a long attention span. But you know, the LivingAfterWLS readers are different. You are knowledge seekers and information collectors. You know that detailed understanding goes a long way in putting in motion a plan that works. So please, take a few minutes to enjoy this newsletter online, or using your browser print commands make a hard copy to keep. I learned a great deal in preparing the answers to the FAQs and I think you will as well. Here are the questions answered in this newsletter:

    One: Will the 5DPT work for me?
    Two: Will my pouch shrink by doing the 5DPT?
    Three: My center didn't give me the Four Rules. Does that mean they will not work for me?
    Four: Can I do the 5DPT in my first year following surgery?
    Five: How can I make it past Day 1?
    Six: I Don't like water at all! What are other options?
    Seven: Stress eating habits derail me, how can I prevent this?
    Eight: I want to make a few tweaks to the 5DPT, will it still work?
    Nine: I messed up, do I need to start over?
    Ten: Can I just use any prepared soup or soup recipe or do I have to use the specific 5DPT recipes?

Best Wishes and Happy Healthy 2017 to You!
Kaye

5 Day Pouch Test Fall Special Edition

5 Day Pouch Test Fall Special Edition newsletter now live and available for you in our archive. Link below. Learn if too much competition is preventing you from reaching your WLS goals.

"Maybe it's the fall sports season that has so many of us in the competitive mood lately. Seems like things have really heated up on the weight loss surgery scrimmage lines where it is more popular than ever to compare and compete with one another in our weight loss. And while some healthy competition can be a great motivator the comparison of weight loss can lead to utter discouragement. I see it even with the 5 Day Pouch Test that people are making comparisons in how much weight is lost in the 5 days and if they do not meet that superficial standard they consider their 5DPT effort a failure.  It is not."   Continue Reading

5DPT Bulletin: Secrets You Can Use to Stay on Track

Link to Bulletin in our Archive

Welcome back to the 5 Day Pouch Test Monthly Bulletin from LivingAfterWLS! Is it possible that we are already half-way through 2014? Six months ago did you set a goal to get back on the WLS track this year using the 5DPT as a starting point? Many of us set that goal and seeing great progress. To keep the momentum going today's Bulletin focuses on the basics of the plan and how we can use our general WLS guidelines to keep us on track to reaching our healthy weight management goals. It isn't always necessary to do a full 5DPT when we feel off track. Sometimes a few gentle reminders are all it takes to get back in focus using our tools for good health. Be sure to read  "Five Secrets to a Well-Accomplished 5DPT" and don't miss a great read, "Stop Playing the All-or-Nothing Game."  And to get your summer menu started right we've included some great information on the often overlooked benefits of dark meat chicken.


Today's Bulletin includes FAQ's people new to the 5DPT are asking. And as always the bulletin is loaded with links to further information and resources. Thanks for joining me and I wish you a spectacular Independence Day holiday. If you enjoy the 5 Day Pouch Test be sure to participate in our LivingAfterWLS Project 2014: "Uniting like minded people through education, support, and community while promoting health sustainability and weight management with weight loss surgery."

I certainly am happy to start fresh in 2014 and have my sights set on dedicating myself to healthy behaviors and living well.

In this 5DPT Bulletin we address the questions people are asking right now about the 5DPT. One thing we have learned about our WLS community is that we have curious minds and an inquisitive spirit. We want to learn the things that support our ongoing weight management efforts. Some of the current hot topics include carbohydrate cravings and withdrawal, struggling on Days 1 & 2, understanding liquid restrictions, weight gain after the 5DPT, and living the Four Rules.

Sometimes it is the smallest nugget of wisdom that can make the greatest difference in our life.  I hope you find many helpful nuggets of knowledge here that serve you well in your life after weight loss surgery. Thank you for including the 5 Day Pouch Test as part of your experience.

I wish you the very best of health this New Year! You have the power to make this your healthiest year ever - Let's do it together!
