RESET YOUR POUCH (sort of) - Day 2

Morning! Okay, so...I failed. But I do not FEEL like a failure so that is saying something, right? I ended up having the following yesterday... - 75 oz. water (VERY good for me) - 50 grams of protein via New-Whey Vials - 1 10-calorie Sugar Free Jell-O container (1 gr. protein) - 1 60-calorie Sugar Free Jell-O pudding container (2 gr. protein) All of that was great...totally in line with the RYP rules. HOWEVER, during the day I had about 12 pretzels. That killed the test. BUT...lately I have been feeling sick after everything I eat...my tummy always hurts. Yet, while my head killed yesterday, my tummy was great and, emotionally, I felt a little better because I knew I was not eating badly. This is why, although I technically failed, I don't feel like a failure. Not sure what my totals will be today but I brought a slew of Jell-O and pudding with me (stopped at Shop Rite last night). But, uh, I already had 6 pretzels on my way to work ****ep them in the car for Jersey Kid). Bad, bad, me. I will not eat another one today so I will do at least 50% better than I did yesterday! Hope everyone has a great, successful day! Hugs, JM

Jersey Mom~ You can do this! We are cheering for you! Rhonda

Thanks, Rhonda! It is SO hard for me...this 5-day test. I need all the cheering I can get! Hugs, JM

No you are not a failure. I had 6 ritz crackers. Yesterday I had 120 gms protein through Atkins shakes and nectar protein powder. I had 60 oz of water not including my shakes. I too have also been feeling sick with everything I eat and yesterday besides the mind hunger and nausea I felt ok. With me feeling sick you would think I would get a clue that I am not eating right. I have totally felt myself go back to my pre-op eating habits and I am scared to death. I need this RYP to make me go back to how good I used to be. So for today I have jello pudding chocolate, sf fudgesicles, jello sf, more Atkins Strawberry and Chocolate Royal shakes. On to day 2. I hope I can hang. I am so looking forward to getting off the liquid. It is soooo hard Good luck everyone! ~Norma~

Ugh...I kind of feel like a failure today. Two days of really good eating (not perfect...but REALLY good...especially for me) and not much to show for it. I know that this is not supposed to be about weight loss but I can't help expecting it! I am right there with you, though...I did this 5-day-test because I was sliding back into my old eating habits. I was eating everything and anything and feeling very sick all the time. I knew I had to do this and I am SO glad I did! We CAN do this! Maybe today will be easier because we are on solids (well, not that I ever went off them with my pretzel orgy ). Good luck!! Love and hugs, JM

Ah just a thought! How about getting rid of the pretzels They are my downfall too and I just had to stop buying them. I did fine yesterday, 3 protein shakes made with hoods milk for 99 grams of protein and about 3 liters of liquid. Only trouble I'm having is keeping my blood sugar level. Had a couple of crashes in the middle of the night even though I cut my insuliin in half. So today along with my shake in the morning I had a banana too. At lunch my bs reading was right in line so maybe I will add another piece of fruit late in the evening to hopefully keep me from crashing during the night. Keep trying!!!!

But, but....Jersey Kid LIKES them!! Yeah, I need to ditch them because I had about 6 more during lunchtime. But, hell, I am doing pretty good otherwise!! You are doing awesome, lady! Keep it up! Tomorrow should be much easier, right? EGGS!!! Love ya! Jersey

Yea right, blame it on the kid Really, if these tempt you give JerseyKid something he likes but doesn't mess with your brain. Yes tomorrow will be easier. I can almost taste that cheese omlete! YUMMY Will probably sitt have a protein shake and a protein pudding to make sure I get in enough for the day. Just focus on how you will be detoxing and even loose a few pounds as an added extra

Okay...pretzels gone! JK and I finished them off on the way home yesterday! J/K...HE finished them I guess I MUST focus on the detoxing because the weight loss ain't happenin'! Regardless, I am glad that I am doing this. I have a feeling I will be a little more aware of what I eat in the future. Let's hope so, anyhow!! Hugs, Me

Jersey you did better than you could have. I am doing it with you but not exactly the same way as yours. I ate all protein foods and got in water and exercise! WE WILL DO THIS! Hugs, Chris ps I bought the dancing with the stars exercise dvd....I like it!
