Back in control!... 5dpt works!...

I am sooo amazed that this pouch of mine still works!!!  

I moved back to NC a little over 2 years ago and since then I've been eating wrong, drinking with my meals and not excersizing as much as I need to...  And I gained 32lbs (I thought it was only 25ish - boy was I surprized!)  Well I decided a week ago to take charge of my life again and started the 5-day pouch test.  Before I even started I thought I wouldn't make it through the first day (days 1 & 2 are all liquids), but to my amazement I wasn't even hungry!  Not only did I get through the first day but I got through all 5 days and that included meeting some of my OH friends at Ruby Tuesday's on Sunday (that was a fun time!).  Anyway, I went to the doctor's yesterday and I'm down 7 lbs!!!  I'm going to continue using the habits I have re-learned and try to get the rest of this off...  I may even do the hole 5 day plan every month or so just to make sure I'm on track!  

Anyway, I just had to give myself a pat on the back!  I'm sooo glad to be back on the loosers bench!  I found it's never too late!

Congratulations Sheryl~that's fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!! I agree that I will be using this again when needed b/c I do feel that it was beneficial to me. Great Job!

Tracy, I watched you and the others when ya'll did your 5dpt and that's why I decided to try it.  I figured if you could do it I could try also.  I was thrilled that first day when I wasn't the least bit hungry!  It is one I will use again and again.  I wonder if there is a reason we couldn't do this once a month just to keep in touch with our pouches?   Great job to all of us!!!

Congratulations Sheryl.  I'm on day 3 today and haven't felt hunger.  Not taking much to make me "satisifed", the protein shakes and all this water that has me floating, lol really works. I feel in control again. Keep up the good work!

Isn't it wonderful getting that full/satisfied feeling again!  Keep sip sip sipping!  Don't eggs taste yummy again???  LOL! Keep us posted and best wishes on days 4 & 5!!!

I too did the 5 day and now feel very mu*****ontrol.  the weight loss was not  the reason I did it but the feeling of knowing my pouch still works.  Have a good day!  Sheila

Sheila, I started the 5dpt to get back in touch with my pouch, the weight loss was a plus for sure, I'm just happy to have that full feeling again and know I haven't screwed my pouch up!!!  Anyway, I'm glad you did well too!!!   Have a great night! Sheryl
