Back on Track

Thanks so much Christy!!!!  It is hard when we start to see that scale going up again... but we have to remember how far we have come and not go back to where we were.... Our health depends on it.... I know you can take off those 20 pounds.... You just have to put your mind to it and commit yourself to it.... It is difficult but you have the support of everyone here (even though there aren't many around lately)... and I am sure you have the support of your friends and family....

You CAN do it!!!!!

Good Luck and keep me posted on how you are doing!!!

 

HUGS,

 

Hello Shawn and Christy,
I will try to give you the "5day pouch test URL" 



http://www.5daypouchtest.com/recipes/recipes.html


What do you know,  "I did it"  I am not too good on the computer in doing these things.
Anyway the first two days were not two bad, I made the split pea soup and it was very
good.  I drank water and water along with protein drinks and I made it though them.
I am starting my third day and think I will have the tuna patties, anything is worth a try
at this point on my journey.  Hope and Pray that this helps all of us.   When you girls
start this let me know and I will start it over again with you, just to REALLY GET BACK
ON TRACK.
Blessings

The first url that I sent to you would not go though so try this, it worked for me this time.

Hope this works

Hi Shawn and November buddies,

I admire you, Shawn, so much for coming out with your weight gain and doing the very best you can to get back on tract. You are doing so good!! I really admire your courage and your strength!

I have MIA for quite a while now because I have gained almost 30 pounds also. My eating has become so out of whack and out of control. I felt like such a failure until I read about the 5-Day Pouch Test. Kaye wrote on there that there is hope and help if you feel like your pouch does not work anymore. She also said that no way am I a failure for this! That made me feel like there IS hope!!

So I started the 5-Day Pouch Test on Monday, did really good on that day. Again, on Tuesday, I started it and by yesterday afternoon, I couldn't stand the hunger any longer. So I started the third day on Tuesday evening!! Needless to say, I splurged a little but not too bad. I woke up this morning and am trying the third day.

Question: on the Third day, you are to eat fish (canned or fresh) and eggs. You are only supposed to eat for 15 minutes at a time. Can you also have things from the first two days? Or do you have to strictly eat fish and eggs?

Shawn, I'm right there with you, trying to lose BACK to where I was the first time!! Don't feel like you are the only one out there with this problem!! We are here to support each other!!

Thanks for giving me hope,
Deidrah 

You can do it Deidrah.... We all know how hard it is and what a struggle it is... We didn't need the surgery because we knew how to control our eating, right???  Stay strong and stay focused and you can do it.... Don't be ashamed of your weight gain... It happens to many of us, but be proud for stepping up and taking action to change it and get back on track.... I know you can do it... Keep us posted on how you are doing.... Good luck with the 5 day pouch test I hope that worked well for you...

Hugs,

 

Hi guys! 

I too have been mia and have fallen back into bad habits.  My weight is up from my lowest by about 15 lbs.  I have promised myself to reconnect both with my friends and with my WLS tool. 

Good luck with the pouch test.  I was never able to fini****   I know you guys will do it!

See you around soon!
