Day 2...

Well I successfully completed day 1 (yesterday) of the 5 day pouch test with 100g of protein and 100+ oz. of water. Today I managed to get through, although it was tough. I had 80g of protein from shakes and protein pudding and 100+ oz. of water, I also had some SF Jello Knox Blocks that my dear husband made for me. It definately did help with making me feel like I was eating something.

I resisted the urge to get on the scale this morning and had my husband hide the scale so that I wouldn't be tempted to see if I had lost weight as this is about beating the CARB MONSTER, not about weight loss. Granted on Thursday, Day 6, I will weigh myself first thing to see if there was any weight loss associated with me cutting my carbs dramatically.

Day 3 adds in soft proteins like eggs and tuna. I am very happy to say I have egg salad made with a touch of cottage cheese for moisture and mini-cans of tuna ready to go for work tomorrow.

I'm hoping that my new med continues to work as I have had some serious ups and downs over the past couple of weeks. I don't like it, but unfortunately there isn't anything I can do other than weather the storm. Once the new med gets into my system I should be good to go for a while, I hope.
