5 day pouch test

Brandi I am on my 2nd time with the 5DPT. I really was working well and then I got off track again. Now I am doing it again the first 2 days are the hardest as I remember. I am on day one. I am using the Unjury protein. I love it. I have used it since my WLS 10-17-06. I thought the 5DPT was a really good thing., I was so desperate for some relief from eating to many carbs and it really did the trick, I did not wait as long this time to attempt to get myself back on track, Good Luck

I did great, too, but have lost my car (it died), my home (sold), and am now facing possible bladder cancer.  So, naturally, I turn to food.  DAMN IT! And really, the doc said it was unlikely I would have the "C" word, but I freaked! Anyway, I know it is going to turn out ok, and I am planning on getting right back on the wagon this week! :) Brandi

I  know god only gives us what we are able to handle... but we still turn to food in the times of stress. I hope all turn out well for you.   I know how hard it can be. Good Luck , I am on day 2 of the 5DPT. Didn't sleep good last night, I think because of my body craving something more... or maybe it was the numerous trips to the bathroom...I weighted in the morning and dropped 5lbs..I am guessing water weight .

I think your right about God, I just get so frustrated becaue I am cursed with health issues.  I had four surgeries in three years, all for different things, bone disease, gall bladder, C-Section and my gastric bypass.  Plus, I have TMJ from stress, have had pnemonia (sp?) and my car died a few weeks ago, we are moving from the only home I have ever known, I lost my Dad and a few months ago, my grandma.  I wish I could turn to a treadmill instead of food, but my will power is shot!

 

Thankx!

I am so sorry.. you have been thru a lot. But you will make it.  I know in my life I have looked back and thought if that had not happen the way it did I would not have had this opportunity in my life. Just hang in there. Boy you have had a lot of hard this in your life. I have had a few things also..and I never turn to exercise first.  It's not in you when food comforts you.  Your will power will be back, when you get so sick and tried of letting the food control you and you are ready to take control back your will power will be back. We have all been there. I feels so good to get control again and when your out of control it feels so rotten. When I first looked at the 5DPT, i remember thinking this is just what I have been looking for, now I can help myself and quit the carbs and the sweets. I felt wonderful that I stumbled on to it. and I was real good for a while and than I was back to sweets again, I am attemping it again and I am on day 4, and I am feeling much better about myself once again... This WLS is a tool.. and It will always be a struggle. Friends and Family think we don't have to do anything anymore bu****ch the weight fall off of us... HA, they know very little about that!!! I think I am rambling...Judy

Yeah, life has been hard, especially lateley and my friends and family have been supportive, until I started cheating and actually needing the support.  My cheating gave them an excuse to not be alone in their own bad eating habits, ya know?  I think I may do an extended 5 day pt, I know I can half-way it, it has to be all or nothing with me.  Maybe I can try it for a month, I dunno.  :) Brandi

Well I got thru my 5dpt but didn't get thru the week end unscathed...I will just try to be half way good. I was such a beautiful Sunday.. and that the day I ate "stuff". Now it back to the sunny side.. getting on the right track again, and watching what I eat.. night time is the worst for me, after everyone has gone to bed and its quiet.  Have a good week. Judy

Night is the worst for me, too! My daughter is asleep, I veg in front of the computer doing homework and checking messages and I always have to be eating!
