This week I am spring cleaning not only my house but my body too. I am doing what they call the 5 day pouch test. It basically takes me to the beginning of day one after surgery. With this test:
- Days 1 & 2: are liquids. Liquids can be low-carb protein shakes, sugar-free jello, broth, cream soups, sugar free pudding, and popsicles (sugar free of course).
- Day 3: is soft proteins: canned fish (tuna), canned chicken, eggs, soft fish (talipia or haddock), protien bars or shakes if needed. (pureed foods)
- Day 4: Firm proteins - ground meats, shellfish, scallops, lobster - pulverized foods
- Day 5 - solid proteins - white meat, beef steaks, anything from above.
It is recommended to do this program every so often just to keep your body in check. Make sure you have stretched your abdomen up over your band. Well day 1 in progress - 4 to go!
I am going to buy a bicycle today - to start riding again. I have found that I have always loved the outdoors and now that I have more zip in my life I'm going to use it to the fullest - I want to start hiking, and camping more along with riding bikes more often. It's my goal not to let my daughter follow in the footsteps that led to this, but to let her enjoy the outdoors as well and not to be afraid to go out there.
