Wish Us Luck (long)
Kell, I do wish you both all the luck. You won't need it though, you'll do great. You've accomplished so much!! I think it's wonderful that you want to do this for yourself, and obviously for your husband and your child-to-be. I can't wait to hear about your successful 5 days, and beyond. YOU GO GIRL!

Hugs!

Dianne,
Did you have any problems getting started on this? The first day I think would be the hardest because it's 100% liquids. Any pointers? Thanks so much! I'm looking forward to doing it. Granted the scale has been good and the weight I had gained is gone BUT don't want it to go up and stay there so this is important to do.

Heather-
The first day was hard. The head hunger is still an issue for me, and I tell ya I was so "hungry" that day I almost caved. Day 2 - I made myself stay busy ALL day. It really helped that my achievone drinks arrived on this day too!
The rest was easy. Today was my 1st regular day off the 5 day plan, and I already feel that "full" feeling so much sooner again.
Best of all I lost 5 lbs and finally got out of that stall and hit the 100 mark!

Dianne,
That's awesome that you got past the 'hunger' stage and did so well on it! Kelly has been looking and has seen a lot of positive feedback from the 5-day. I'm glad that she and I are doing it. I've had it kind of easy since surgery with my weight loss and yes, I am very very grateful for that but the problem with having it kind of easy is that that does end and I don't want to slip backwards so this is a good thing and good time for me to do. I will never ever take my WLS for granted and know that if I am not careful it can change and I can gain weight. That would be devasting to me.

Thank you so much. I have read the forum on the wensite for the 5DPT and nothing but good things. Today is Day 1 and I read your post to heather about the Head hunger and boy oh boy it has started already. i normally only drink coffe in the morning so it never crosses my mind to put food in my mouth until now that I now it is all liquids but i have my sf popsicles and EAS drinks I found at the store yesteday so I will be good. I will be at the pool today and tommorow so keeping myself busy will be no worries
Thanks again
