Week 2: 2nd day of 5DPT
I must say that day one went smoothly and I was not hungry or craving sweets. Yay! Today is even better. I am feeling energetic. One thing I noticed today is that these liquids are definitely cleaning out my system.
Which is a good thing! lolI am down one more pound so I got 2 more pounds to make my goal. I got my exercise in for today early since we are expecting snow later.
As for Gino he is doing fantastic as well down another pound as well.
OK. So I want to share something that I thought of over the weekend.
My oldest daughter is morbidly obese and every time she tries a diet so loses but gains it back and more. Just like I was before RNY. She has been considering surgery but right now it's not an option for her. So I was thinking she should try the diet as well. Hi protein low carb diet she is addicted to sugar, carbs like really bad. So I figured this will help her get rid of the carb monster as well. She started the diet yesterday. She complained about the protein drinks the bad taste in her mouth and especially not being able to eat any sweets. Since she was off work I stayed on her all day, encouraging her to continue that tomorrow would be a better day. When she woke up this morning she was down 3 pounds in one day. She is in a better mood today and actually doing quite well. I can't wait to see what day 5 will bring for her. I am so excited for her.
This helps even those that are pre-op!
So I hope I have inspired more people to give a try as well.
Have a great day on purpose.
Thanks for reading!!!

I don't care for the protein shakes at all, or any of the powder protein so I purchased some of the Protein Bullets that have 42 g of protein each. I got mine from GNC and it comes in different flavors, Blue Raspberry, Fruit Punch, Grape and Orange. The only flavor of those that I could even think to try was orange and it's not bad at all. I use a shot glass and fill it up twice getting in half of the bullet at a time. I did this morning and evening to up my protein intake.
If your daughter doesn't like the shakes, maybe this is an option. It was nice because I didn't have to purchase more than I wanted. I think they cost me $2.50 a bullet. Once I start picking up more protein, I will cut it down to a half a bullet a day.
Good luck to you, Gino, and your daughter!!
Happy New Year,
Ren
Thanks for the advice about the bullet protein. I have tried those before and could not swallow it without wanting to puke. I will have her check them out maybe she might be able to tolerate them better.
It's nice to see you on here. How is your grandbaby?
Take care and thank you so much for the good luck!
Tara was very happy when she saw that she lost 4 pounds this morning. :)
Happy New Year to you as well.

Hi Cira,
My grandson is doing great! He will be 10 months soon! Its amazing how fast they grow.
I'm glad Tara is doing well, I can imagine her face lighting up with joy when she saw the scale move. Its very exciting!
I hope you and all of your babies are doing great!
Ren
She is actually quite excited because she has lost 7 pounds since she started on Monday. I pray that she continues the healthy eating so she can become healthy for her and her son.
How are you and your precious grandson doing?

It's not how fast you go, but that you're moving in the right direction!
Take care and make sure to share some new pictures of that precious boy.
