5DPT Results for me....

So yesterday was day 5 for me...(I started on Tuesday because I was not prepared to start Monday with the rest of the folks), I am going to be totally honest here...this sort of reminded me of the first 5 weeks of post op after surgery...Days 1 & 2 SUCKED!!!! Just like I alsways have said about post op...the first 2-3 weeks were awful! But by day 3 it was a bit easier...but still kicked my butt at night...I was hungry! Day 4 & 5 were alot easier...I DID get fuller faster and seemed to be satified longer. I have realized that I have been giving into that nasty carb monster way too much...and need to cut down on my caffeine intake as well. I also want to find an alternative to my sweet & low and splenda, because I am convinced that is an appetite stimulate! So....here's the best part! I LOST 9 friggen pounds!!!!! I am really thrilled! This is definatly not something I would reccomend newbies to do...I would say anyone who is a year or more post op...but it really does work and help get you focused...or at least it did that for me! Thanks to all of the 5DPT'ers...for all the support!!!

That is  ASWOME!  I am so learning from all of you, and can only hope that I stay focused.  I am almost 3 months out, and am very scared of what it will be like a year from now.  Someone from my support group said after 6 months her honeymoon stage was over, but I have heard it is a year.  This is my biggest fear.

WTG Lisa!!

WOW! 9 lbs. that's great!  Congratulations! Keep up the great work!! Lisa

  LISA WAY TO GO GIRLFRIEND, NOW KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK SO YOU DONT HAVE TO END UP LIKE ME. I AM SO VERY PROUD OF YOU. LOVE YA MUCH HAVE A WONDERFUL MEMORIAL HOLIDAY

WOW Lisa! Congrats on both the success of the weight loss but also the success of the insight! Weigh to go! Sue

 That is awesome. I'm taking a week off and then starting again the following. As for sweeteners, I'm feeling the same way. I took the kids to the movies and didn't even crave candy or popcorn! Unheard of a month ago. If thine splenda offends thee...get rid of it! Hugs, Rachel

Lisa WOW, 9 lbs is amazing.  The first 2 days do suck and hopefully I will be able to continue to lose 1 or 2 #/wk without the 5DPT but if not, back on it I go.  I will be out of town for 2 weeks so this is really going to be a test for me and my will power Again, big congrats! Sheryl

I am finally downstairs after a day in bed with this damn cold and cough thing I have had for a week now.  I just came down and clicked on here and I am so THRILLED for you.  I am thinkning that I need to try this thing and lose a few more.  I am still holding steady with no weight gain, but I want to get these last 50 off and forget about losing any more weight for the rest of my life.   I am so proud of you sweetie.  You are one amazing woman, and I am so happy that I can call you my friend.  Know that I miss you A LOT, and hate working.  I think it's time we get into some kind of new routine so we can see each other more.  Terry if you are reading this, YES I am missing you too.  I enjoyed our "lunches" Love, Di

Ah and what am I??? Dog meat????You don't miss me?????? You better get that blonde ass of yours well girl!! I miss you in spite of you not missing me!!!!!!!!!!!
