Hi all..after reading the testimonials...I am going to do the 5-day PT starting Monday...I am going to add in a good exercise program also.  My husband has returned to work after a 4 1/2 month of retirement...(same amount of time as my post-op time!) and I am soooo HAPPY!!!  This has been his plan all along, but I was afraid he was going to stretch it to 6-9 months...I have been going stir crazy!!  Now I can get back to focusing on ME..lol
Anybody want to join me?  I hope so...and if not, I will post my results at the end of 5 days...I will follow the program listed on the board by Leann...thank you Leann!...hope I get some partners.....thanks all..see ya on the boards...

PM me if'n ya want!! 

Congrats to all the 'losers" on the 5dpt.  Kim, I'll join you on Monday. Wish us luck!!!

Wonderful Lori...can't wait!!!   I actually like the control we can exert...and with the function of the tool we have, its not too terribly hard..just getting back to the basics we paid a dear price for.  I personally LOVE forced portion control.  It makes me feel as though I am normal.  As with some WLS, gluttony by choice  seems to be an answer.   My itty bitty Mom would say...just because you CAN be a glutton..doesn't mean you SHOUL be.....someone will be missing out on much needed food.  She would say that at those all you can eat restaurants...I was one of those she furrowed her brow at..lol  ...but...thats another psych session..lol
best wishes...keep in contact!

You can do it!  You can do it!!!!!!

The 5 dpt was GREAT!!!  I lost 3.5 pounds and it wasn't hard at all.  You may have seen some of the recipes that Leann posted...the Ham and Cheese and Turkey Taco Chili soups are wonderful.  I am going to do regular menu this week, but I will be doing the 5dpt again the week after.
The 5dpt, really brings you back to basics.  Also, I swear my tummy went back to the original size after surgery.  I was always so full and I couldn't even finish my protein drinks.

Thanks Leann for all your help and support!!!!

Hugs, Michele

I am so glad you are happy with the 5day.  But you know, you did all yourself.  It is amazing how we become recommitted to our little pouches.  And the feelings of control in our lives.  Yeah for you!!!
