Just wanted to share the outcome of the hangover from the party....I have put on 8lbs!!! Yes- EIGHT pounds!!! since Friday!!!! Thats shocking isn't it. Its water weight I know, and will come off quickly but....8lbs!!!! aaaaagggggghhhhhhhh.
Mrs P don't worry too much like u said its mainly water... plus its the good thing about the band, instead of going oh well after all this effort i put 8 pounds on I may as well give up!!! Instead we go its only a blip and I enjoyed it and now its back on straight and narrow we r like the skinny people mentality now... they all have blow up session but instead of carry it on the next day they go back to their normal routine. Enjoy the manicure and maybe push the boat to a pedicure too ::

@ Mrs P - you don't do things by half do you. It will come off again by Saturday I am certain. I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you xx
@ Mis - you seem to be getting the hang of this. It does help to be speaking to like minded people. Good luck for Saturday too.
The band sure is a strange thing. I really struggled with cottage cheese at lunchtime, but had the most such tasty dinner this evening. Some banders may not cope with pasta but its ok for me...
B - three crackers, 50g cottage cheese, 10g peanut butter
L - cottage cheese (I burnt my boiled eggs ) salad; low fat yoghurt
D - 50g dried pasta cooked, 200g butternut squash roasted with 1oz chorizo (fat from sausage flavoured the squash so no oil needed) and 10g of parmesan cheese

First day of the 5 day pouch test for me, so liquids with protein - yum, not!
Breakfast - vanilla protein shake that tasted nothing like vanilla, more like cold liquid porridge bluergh!!!
Lunch - ready mixed strawberry protein shake, much more palatable!
Tea - my take on WW no point soup with protein powder stirred through.
Lots and lots of water, milky coffee's with protein powder - then more water!!!
Same again tomorrow - cant wait!!!

The 5 Day Pouch Test is a way of reminding you and your much smaller stomach pouch what it feels like to feel full with a very small amount of food. It’s re-visiting the diet guidelines provided by many lap band surgeons.
What tends to happen for many after lap band or gastric bypass patients is to get used to eating more than you should and eating the wrong kinds of food. It is so easy to get back to eating those processed carbs that put the pounds on in the first place.
It’s also easy a few months after weight loss surgery to eat “slurries.” Eat some chips, cookies, or white bread and wash it down with sugary drinks. You can get more of that kind of food through the lap band than solid proteins like chicken breasts.
Eating After Lap Band
Remember how you ate right after WLS?
You started with a liquid diet for a period of time, then moved to soft foods (the mushies) then to slightly firmer foods, then to every day solid foods. The emphasis was on proteins, proteins, proteins.
Eat those first and then if you had any room left, add fruit or veggies.
And, you did not drink anything for thirty minutes before or after the meal.
The 5 Day Pouch Test recreates that way of eating in just 5 days.
The first 2 days you have a liquid diet with plenty of protein. Stock up on power shake ingredients.
On day 3 move to the soft foods keeping the protein content as high as possible. Soups, beans and such. No processed carbs, no sugary drinks.
Day 4 have some firmer proteins like canned tuna, canned chicken, maybe a little ground beef.
On day 5, enjoy firm food proteins like some baked boneless skinless chicken breast. Remember to eat slowly and chew thoroughly.
Lap Band Success
If you find you can’t eat that much of it without feeling full, then you know what? The 5 Day Pouch Test was a total success for you!
The 5 Day Pouch Test is a way of getting you back in touch with your smaller stomach pouch that was created during your lap band or gastric bypass surgery. It’s also a way to remind you the importance of eating good quality proteins, fruit and veggies while staying away from the junk foods.

Day 3 of the 5 day pouch test for me. Have to say I could do this day forever!
Breakfast: a boiled egg mashed in a tablespoon of cottage cheese.
Lunch: small tin of tuna, another boiled egg and some mayo (not low fat as has more carbs!)
Tea: 3 tablespoons of quorn chilli
Lots of water and some cups of tea with skimmed.
Lessons learnt:
1. I hate protein shakes!
2. I had started to drink too close before/after meals - it really does make a difference
3. If you eat the right things you dont need to eat much at all to feel full.
4. My band works, I have restriction - Im in control
Tomorrow will be tricky as Im working in London all day with no access to food! Will have a skinny latte on the train and take 2 slim fast with me and have something more substantial in the evening.
Anyone (longer term banders) thinking of trying this - do it! its fantastic

B - 3 krisproll crackers, 40g cottage cheese, 10g peanut butter
S - sliced apple
L - 110g tuna with mango and chilli dressing, crudites of carrot and cucumber
D - 50g sirloin steak (cut up really fine and really chewed), 5 chips, 2tbsp peppercorn sauce, peas, red cabbage
S- sesame and honey snack har
I had a lovely juicy 8oz steak sitting in front of me but really struggled (so will not even attempt to try that again) - my lucky dogs had the rest of it when I got home. Only ate the chips and sauce otherwise I would have been hungry. Think I will stick to my normal kids-size meals when I go out in future - just not too much choice available this evening though as a business dinner.
