i made it through Day 1 of 5DPT!!

i started the 5DPT today..i am so psyched!! it wasnt hard at all ..it came back to me ..just like riding a bike lol  ..i was so impressed at how my pouch communicated with me today..im thrilled! 

Are ALL RNY patients named Dawn? Me Too!  Just wanted to pop in and say Hi there!

Congrats - days 1 &2  are hardest for most !!!

Congrats on making it the 1st day...what was your menu like today??  I tried doing the LPT and just didn't make it ..almost past out so I haven't tried it again.

Congratulations and thanks for sharing. I'm starting on Monday and you've inspired me!

Oh good for you! I've had a ton of company daily for about a week or two now.... As soon as my son leaves from his visit (and everyone else goes home too) ...I'm going to start the 5DPT...I don't do well when I have to cook for many other people...I will be soooo glad to have my quiet little life back where carbs are gone from my house!  You forget that regular people can eat these things with no problems and that's what they want.... I have not been getting my protein near par! I think I've actually replaced protein for carbs lately.  I've been gassy and bloated and I can't wait to do the 5DPT just to get rid of this awful feeling...I had a protein shake this morning and my belly is just rumbling thinking of ANYTHING to eat...This has got to stop!  LOL I love having my family visit...but everyone wants my Italian cooking...pasta and bread and appetizers and drinks and dessert.  And I give it to them...and being the cook and all, well, that is not working for me! LOL  I'm glad someone is doing good!   Have you been to the New Wegmans in Woodbridge yet?  OMIGOD!  GO THERE! Hugs from your homie, Anita

i know what you mean!! ..this was my annoucement post on another message board in case anyone missed it  :) 5 Day Pouch Test Original Post by Dawn Slye at 8:13 PM PST on 06/11/2008 Stafford, VA – RNY (02/16/2005)
i am going to do the 5DPT beginning Monday, my DH is going on a week-long business trip for work, leaving Sunday, so i think that will be the most opportune time to take advantage. i wont have to worry about cooking for him, i will have ready-to-eat things for the kids, my girls are 17 and 15, my son is 8, so they will pretty much be able to fend for themselves. i am doing this more out of control than hopeful weight loss, i need to regain control and take advantage of the wonderful tool ive been given. i've neglected it for too long and its cost me 30 pounds! here is the link and info about the 5 Day Pouch Test if anyone is interested www.5daypouchtest.com always in my thoughts and prayers .. -hugs- dawn RNY 02/16/05 pre-op 291#/lowest 168#/current 198#/goal 170#

May I ask what is " 5DPT"

hi there what are you doing exactly and what did u eat today?

Good Job!!  I'm getting back to the basics to loose a 40pound weight gain.  Pretty scarey.  1 pound at a time and I'm dealing with my stressors.   Penny
