Day 2 of the 5DPT was successful!!

Just thought I'd keep you guys informed of the pouch test and how I'm doing, my trials and tribulations with it.

Down another pound - woohoo!!

Day 2 went well.  I had a Dr's appt in the morning so I had my protein coffee on the way.  Oh BTW - Day 2 was JUST protein drinks again.

Morning I felt fuzzy, headache in my neck and kinda weird.  Not sure what from.  By mid-morning it was better.  Today I feel fine.

Then I didn't have anything until I got back home at 3:30 - not even fluids.  I didn't trust myself that if I went through a drive-thru I wouldn't get something to eat - I was HUNGRY!  But, I managed to get through it. 

I stopped at Target and bought an Oster individual mixer.  I love it!  Works great and I'm having fun with it.  Got home and mixed myself a frozen Syntrax Fuzzy Navel.  I also bought some of the OJ that has 50% less sugar with no artificial sweetners.  Used that in the drink too. 

Then for dinner I mixed myself this awesome concoction that I figured had almost 600 calories in it (YIKES).  I used 4, yes FOUR scoops of protein in it.  Definitely will scale it back next time.  Use 1/2 milk and 1/2 water and only 2 scoops.  Will keep the calories under control.  The recipe called for a banana, which I didn't have, but I have a Banana Nut protein powder - it did the trick!

Today (Day 3) is soft protein.  This may be a challenge.  Honestly?  I don't want to go back to solids - I want to stay on protein drinks.  For some reason I feel if I do that, I won't get hungry and be tempted to eat stuff I shouldn't.  But I guess I need to eat again eventually. 

Day 3 menu doesn't mention protein drinks - just all soft protein eating.  Tuna, soft fishes like Tilapia, Orange Roughy, eggs, etc.  Yea... I can do that.  Back to basics, no drinking 30 minutes before or 30 minutes after, no drinking with meals, eat only until you feel satisfied.  Oh - and they give you only 15 minutes to eat.  I don't see that being a problem... if my pouch is small like it feels, then I'll be full after a few bites.  This is a "eat as much as you want - but follow the rules" day.  I don't think that will be an issue either with me wanting to eat too much.

YAY!!!  I'm so proud of you Jody!  You must feel great today.  This will help you stick to your healthy eating after all this detox.

You go girl!!

Thanks Lee!! 

Congratulations on day 2 Jody!!

LOL-sometimes I can't trust myself to drive through some places either.....  There are some places that my mind knows what to order, but when I get up there something else entirely different comes out of my mouth.

I haven't had any Fuzzy Navel protein drink in a long time - that really sounds good.  So does the one with banana.

Good luck with day 3.

Thanks Linda!

A lot of the recipes on my blog have bananas in them... and I just don't eat them because of the carbs, but I have this Banana Nut protein powder I've had forever I can't figure out what to do with - now I know! With my new blender bottle I see all kinds of new concoctions waiting to be made.  I've also got the syrups.  I wish I had a SF strawberry syrup - not sure they even make it but may check it out. Hmm... wonder if a SF strawberry preserves would work as well?   I would think a strawberry/banana protein drink sounds awesome!  I typically stay away from frozen fruit, but have some in the freezer... may break it out and give it a try.

I'm making myself hungry... have to stop talking about it!  LOL

They do have SF Strawberry.  I think both Torani and DaVinci make it but I like Torani's better.

Tazz - good to know - thanks!!

LOL...you are so funny Jody......   Sometimes just reading M&M makes me hungry....

Good Job Jody....Keep it up!!!!

my day 3 was successful too. Too many calories but very low protein so I will call it succssful. Will start back on my Nexium tonite and am desperately hoping it will get on top of the daytime acid issue I have been having. if not back to the gostro for some day time PPI>

Good on you,you'er doing great. Think I am down another half pound.

Congrats on your successful Day 3!!  It was a tougher one for me cause I felt "snacky" but didn't give in.  Actually I ate my calciums when I wanted something to chew..

I'm afraid the scale won't be as nice tomorrow.. if it stays the same I'll be happy!!
