calling all 5 day pouch testers

Well, you aren't the only two.  I'm in but really fell off the wagon last night.  I had three protein shakes at work plus my soup.  Someone brought in homemade cookies and I passed on those, someone else put a big bag of M&Ms on the break table and I passed on those too.  I was so proud of myself for not cheating.  THEN, last night my DIL made my favorite, fried chicken and of course potatoes and gravy for my birthday dinner.  I had some potatoes and gravy and half a chicken breast.  I figured okay, it's my birthday and I"ll get back on track tomorrow.  Later on the kids come through the door with a birthday cake, cards and presents.  What did I do?  Ate a small piece of cake of course.  No icing.  SORRY.  I'm starting again today.  Am I forgiven?

Jules, 

Happy Belated Birthday!!! 

Of course u are forgiven.  Jump right in today. 

I did great the first 24 hrs but this morning Im having a bit of a headache.   Ive already warned Andy I could be a bit grumpy today....lol.  However, right now Im really excited becouse I was down 6 lbs today.  I know most of it was water weight since I didnt get but one liter of water  in yesterday and Im usually up around 5 liters of fluids per day plus I was drinking 2 liters of diet coke a day and I didnt have any yesterday.  I havent gained any wt back since surgery but I sure could have kept loosing if I hadnt started back on all the cola.  Im hoping this jump starts me and gets me back on track.  I need to stay off the colas and the carbs....then I'll be doing Great!!!

Im so glad u are joining in.  I hope u are feeling better today

Thanks for the support.  I am feeling better today.  Have my shakes for today and my soup for lunch.  I didn't weigh myself yesterday, probably should have.  I know with eating last night I didn't lose any weight.  I never went back on soda after surgery, but sure carbed up after 2 years out.  My choices have become pretty poor and putting weight back on. 

I've come too far in the past three years to go back to where I was.  For a long time I bounced up and down 5 pounds.  The past few months have been up and up until I've gained 18 pounds.  I need to get if off.  I can already tell my knees are being affected by the weight again.   I know a lot of it is stress eating at work and some boredom eating at home.  

Thanks for listening.

I'm here!  I'm here!   I forgot to tell you guys that I took a four day weekend for my daughter's fall break.  I did start the diet yesterday though.  I had protein shakes all day and had some bean soup for lunch and some black beans for dinner.  I got more protein in yesterday than I have EVER!

I have my EAS shakes at work with me today.

So far so good.  Not going bad at all!
