Holy Cow!!! This thing really works!!

So this morning I wake up and am very happy to make breakfast!  I made a scrambled egg with cheese and a teenie tiny itty bitty piece of filet mignon.  So, first I eat the eggs, then, excited with the prospect of eating something I love, I then take a bite.  I chew, and chew, I am now having an out of body experience.  Happily I swallow.  Then, one more bite, and again swallow!  Then it happened!!   Huh..what is this...I'm FULL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I looked at the itty bitty piece of steak that was so willing to give itself to me and bid it ....adieu!  I threw it away, left over steak......eeeeewwwwww!  I jumped with joy not that I thought that I was being lied to but........they werent lying this 5DPT really does work!!  On with the rest of this glorious day! ~J.

Don't you just love that? That 5dpt is a reset for your pouch and your mental attitude...Toss that steak. It's cathartic.

That is great!!  I saw you had the same surgeon as me! :)  Cool.  I have been contemplating this 5 dpt.... hmmm...  I'm glad to see it worked for you! 

I am a lap bander & happy to say that it also works for us too!  Thanks to all who posted info on the 5dpt. It really works!  Yall have a great weekend!

Good for you! I am going to start on Sunday.  I hope I have your same expeirence kim

Yep!  Pure craziness!  And after it is over...you remember to eat only til satisfied...You can keep it going so easy if you stay aware! I did the 5DPT ....'um...about 2 months ago and I am still eating til only satisfied!  And I feel soooo much better ...I truly do! My pouch has been soooo much happier ever since.  It helped me to maintain eating better choices and as I am supposed to be eating.  AND drinking water really curbs the appetite ...I was drinking with meals instead of inbetween meals and now I drink water like a ...like a...You fill in the blank!  LOL

That's why we are supposed to eat protein first.  Dense protein of any type is very filling, but especially beef.  I can only eat a few bites of steak or roast beef and I'm full.  When I try to get my protein from say cottage cheese, it goes right through me.  That's the beauty of the 5DPT - to get you back to the basics of protein first.  And speaking of protein, I just discovered Whole Foods (365 brand) Organic Turkey Jerky.   1 oz serving (3 servings per bag) has only 60 calories, 0 fat, 6 carbs, and 11g protein.  A few bites (and a lot of chewing) for a snack and I'm full, and they really taste great!  I'm hooked.  I plan to keep them on hand, in the car, in my desk, etc. for snacking.  Betsy

Hi Betsy, how much sodium is in th turkey jerky?? I'd love to try it but have to watch my salt.  Thanks!!
