Day One - Again

After two days of really bad eating, I'm back to liquids today. Here's a question - for those of you that have done the 5-day pouch test, how much the weight that you lost have you gained back? M.

Hi Reenie....hope your doing ok...Ive managed to keep it all off and lost 1/2 pound yesterday...total of 14 gone...for good I hope. Im still sticking with the plan, not really eating any carbs, just very very little. I seem to be doing pretty good ,Thank God.

So Kimberly, you did the first 2 days of liquids, right? Then 3 days of soft foods and now, what are you doing - basically just protein and veggies? It sounds like you've really lost your appetite, not eating much at all? Tell me exactly what you ate for the past two days. M.

I did the liquid thing awhile back...not sure if you remember... it wasn't exactly the 5 day pouch thing to the T but VERY similar. I lost 8 pounds and kept it off. The first 3 days that i did this recently I lost 2 and so far kept it off even though i REALLY messed up this weekend. Keeping my fingers crossed those 2 dont dissappear!

I've already messed up today; just like every other day, start out with great resolve, eat the right things - I even got out to exercise today, something I haven't done in a long time. But exhaustion and sadness just completely swallowed me whole by 1pm and I've downed about 5,000 calories in candy. Can't stand this. If I don't get some sleep soon I just don't know what's going to happen... I look like a 52 year old woman going on 90...

I felt like that on Friday. I got some bad news at work and it was just enough to push me over the edge. I'm ok but almost lost my job due to an injury that I had and due to the Baby getting these temperatures. It just was the last straw on a whole slew of things and i felt sooooooo horrible. Like you were, totally drowning in saddness. Then the baby getting sick which sorta distracted me out of my consuming depression and put on a new added stress and fear for the little girl. it's been a hell of a weekend emotionally to say the least . So it was no wonder that I was eating oh... ICE CREAM and a whole entire small Cheeze calzone and cheese fries. (Not all at once) but damnit i eventually finished that sht off. 'sigh' then I had a couple of popsicles. Some doritoes... but only 4 but still. Then I had 2 pieces of french toast for breakfast. I know no major deal but when I was supposed to be doing NO carbs that was awful to eat. anyways... i ended up finishing off the nights with pumpkin seeds. and a cocounut cream bar. So Sad. You better get yourself some sleep. You know whats crazy, when I was out a week with an injury I lost 4 pounds because i slept the whole darn time. i thought wow. If I could just lay in bed for a couple of weeks I'll probably loose a ton of weight! (haha). if only. My body would GLADLY accept 2 weeks of bed rest for sure! ((hugs))

Elizabeth, I don't know what I'd do without you...

HI Reenie, I've kept off the 8 I lost after the 5 day pouch test thingy and now have lost another pound. I'm thinking of it as having gotten back to normal after a rough couple of years of falling down on the job. I'm counting calories every single day. writting it all down in a book to keep track. Sticking with the protein, water, and stuff. I do have one fruit a day. AT this point I'm not planning on losing alot I'd be thrilled if I did but I'm feeling good and am happy at what I've done so I'm going to continue doing it. good luck! pammy
