Day 1 - 5DPT

Well, the day's almost over, and mine was pretty good.  I overslept, one benefit of being unemployed--here's my food: 1 c. tea w/1% milk 1 protein drink (Inner Life Maximum)--100 cal.,  24g. protein, 2g. carbs, 1 g. sugar, made w/4 oz 1% milk & 4oz water.  I didn't use the whole scoop, so I figure it was about 18g. protein 32 oz water 1C pumpkin sausage soup 1 protein drink more water 1C ps soup 1 protein drink w/5 frozen strawberries (I was getting cranky, and I wanted to see if the berries helped...I think they did.)  1 NSA pudding Finishing 2nd 32oz of water & will have a SF popsicle or 2 before bed. I'm about ready to float away here.  I'm not really hungry but looking forward to going to sleep so I don't have to think about food anymore.  Also, I made zucchini roll-ups (recipe courtesy of Egg-Face)  for my kids--they co-opted them from me, they're so delicious.  It was hard not to eat any, but next week. Hope everyone else had a good day.  Is 7:30 to early to go to sleep?  

Good job!! One day down 4 to go!

Thanks, Leslee.  I look at days 1 & 2 as the "safe" days...soup & protein drinks..it's when we're allowed food that I get scared.  I wonder if most people feel just the opposite. ETA:  My goals for this week are to lose the carb addiction, cut out grazing,  and to get to or below goal weight. 

Hi Karen,

I'm finishing up day one, too. So far ~~ So good! I've stayed busy and I did a 60 minute aerobic exercise class, I rode my bike for 30 minutes. If you're able to go to bed and sleep at 7:30 PM That'd be great. Me? I have the worst sleep habits, late at night my horrible night eating starts. I'm praying I don't mess up my good # 1 DPT day with that stuff tonight. 1. protein powder with soy milk   2. SF Cool ade 3. decaf coffe with creamer 4. protein power with soy milk 5. Protein hot choc with water 6. water, approx 50 oz 7. SF orange popsicle Total calories: 808 Total protein: 101

Wow, Kathy, you did amazing.  You consumed about 1/2 of what I did.  How can you eat so little without starving???  I really admire you. 

Obviously I'm up past 7:30.  It's now past 11:00--worst time for me too! I did have one more NSA choc. pudding, but it really seemed to have helped.  Going to bed in a little while. Let's check in tomorrow nite too, o.k?  BTW, you have me the inspiration to exercise tomorrow.  Thank you.  Every since I had my hernia repair in April, I've had a hard time getting back to it.

Great Job Karen3...  I made it thru day 1 with just protein drinks and water.. water ... and more water!

That's amazing.  Weren't  you  starving...how did you make it w/just the protein drinks? 

It's a Miracle.  I completed day 1 and am doing great on day 2!  I am looking forward to not only seeing the results at the end but also feeling like my eating is under control.  Thanks for all of your support!  You all are a great group of people!! Amy

Good for you, Amy.  I'm off to a good start too.  Of course I got my period today, but it's been my losing week since the RNY (weird, I know) so we shall see!  Good luck today--talk to ya later.
