Moves were 8 looooong hours at work today with extra stair work. Ouchy on the knee... How did your Tuesday go and what kinds of eats did you have? How about exercise?

Awesome day Molly.. I replied to another post about your headache.. be sure to check it out!

Hey Molly what is 5DPT? And i have been had a crappy weekend and I am having a crappy week i know i should be keeping track of intake but ahhhhhhhhhhhh its been a nightmare for onething my kitchen is under construction and you will never believe where we ended up for dinner last night OLIVE GARDEN with those stupid bread sticks and of course its the land of CARBS with all the pasta i opted for the whole wheat pasta and i went with the tomatoe sauce but i am still ticked about it. Then lunch was IHOP another CARB FACTORY i agreed to IHOP because they used to have this herb roasted chicken that i liked and steamed veggies well that didnt happen because they changed there menu its a nightmare everybody at my table had some sort of bread pancakes, toast, jam, blueberry compot, Onion rings, fried potatoesThere cant be any cooking in the kitchen tomorrow i am going to go to the grocery store and get a rotisserie chicken and hope that i can do better. I am going to start keeping track again tomorrow.

Oh man, having your kitchen under construction is murder. Hope it will be completed soon--you don't want to have to deal with restaurant food any more, I'm guessing. Olive Garden isn't any problem for me, I don't eat bread or pasta anymore so the worst I have to worry about with them is finding some kind of protein that isn't breaded or dredged in a sugary sauce. The last two times I went there I survived just fine but felt like I was really ripped off with what i ate. You had a great idea getting the rotisserie chicken! They are so moist and flavourful and you can do so much with them. You are one smart cookie! 5DPT is just shorthand for Five Day Pouch Test. Have you been over to the website to read about it yet? (http://www.5daypouchtest.com/index.html) I'd call it a quick boot-camp for getting your eating back on track again for following post-op orders. With the exception of the headache I am really enjoying it so far and I'm only on day 2 along with Melissa. Diana is a day ahead of us and I am interested in reading how she did today.

What's going on??? Group 5DPT? I am in big trouble with my calories... been eating twice as much and eating-out with family a lot... with family... I can't join you... Hoping that my weight does not sky-rocket!!!! Ro

We kind of started that way, it just seems easier to start it with someone else to start too. Diana got a big derailed but it was still a successful day for her doing the first day of liquids and Melissa and I are still at it. I'm surprised I'm not crazy-wild excited to be chewing tomorrow. I guess the soups from the website had enough solids in them to satisfy my teeth. Hope you will be able to get your eating back to where you want it soon!
