Day 3 of the Pouch Diet

     Melissa C and I are making it.  We get to eat some stuff today.  AND....I've lost 5.5 pounds.  I can see already that my pouch is getting full with less stuff.     Melissa....how is your day 3.  Thanks for all of your support and doing this with me.  Its been much better with a buddy Everybody have a great Wednesday mary

thats awesome mary!! I'm using the excuse of a horrible cold as my reason not to get back to basics.. lol.. so far its been working.. but i really need to buckle down and watch what i'm eating better! im proud of you! 5.5 lbs is ALOT for us now!! (remember how dissappointing it was at first "i only lost 5.5 lbs this week" I MISS THOSE DAYS! LOL) keep up the good work you two!

Thanks Jen,     I definately miss those days.  But remember how after you lost your first fifty we thought we looked SO hot.  Now I see those pictures, I guess I did look hotter....    I've been stress eating and gained 10 pounds.  But things are better.  We found wonderful adoptive parents for my stepdaughter's baby.  They live in Nashville and are unable to have children.  They went through all of the IVF stuff.  They are very positive about an open adoption and have said that we will be considered grandparent's cause that's what we are.   That's what I wanted.  I couldn't stand the thought of losing Scott's half brother.    And my stepdaughter is 2.5 cm dilated and almost completely effaced....so hopefully we will have him soon.    So stress is down, weight is going down, and life is better.  How are you? M

Mary where can I find the link to the 5 day diet? I need to get back on track and take off a few more pounds. I've been stuck for about 3 months now. Thanks, Anita

Anita, I am not Mary, but glad to help LOL www.5daypouchtest.com There are some great recipes for each day, too that i have used.... Hope this helps!! ~Melissa

Thanks for the info Melissa. I think I can do that for 5 days, especially looking back at my first few weeks after surgery. I survived that so I know I can do this. My only problem is I don't eat fish, so maybe the can chicken can be substituted. I'll start it next monday
