5DPT & feeling great!!! How are you?

 So, I am actually on day 4 of the 5 DPT but the first 2 days of liquids only went so well and I wasn't misserable at all that I am actually still on the liquid phase. I figured this is what I did for 2 weeks in the begining to detox my body it is O.K. now too. Now, I am not going to do it for 2 weeks, but I thought maybe finish liquids on Friday and then the next week go to soft stage for a week and week 3 go to more solid proteins. Kinda of start all over again, ya know!!! I am not doing this because I have gained some of my weight back, I am doing it because I just couldn't seem to get the scales to move for about 3-4 months now, and I have about 20 more pounds I would like to come off!!! So as of today I have lost 5 pounds and I feel great and very determined, this has put me back in the mindset that I was early out!!! I LOVE my RNY!!!!! Your pouch will not fail you just use it as it was intended!!!           So, tell me how all of you guys are doing??? Do you have any tips for me??? I know some of you further out graduates can fill me with tons of knowledge!!!! Please share all of your experiences, good and bad!! And GOOD LUCK to everyone on this awsome journey!!! Terri

Okay, So I decided to start this yesterday.  My problem is I lose one week out of the month now.  3 weeks of nothing then the week of my TOM I lose like 5-10 pounds.   Last month 5.  So I am frustrated and want to get under 200 so bad.  I am starting to feel like the biggest person in the OH room again. I digress... So I made the lentil soup recipe on the 5DPT website, minus the cury but it is YUMMO.  Yesterday I had my protein shake for BF and soup for lunch and dinner.  My only deviation was I did have a light yogurt later in the evening for a snack (have no SF jello in the house right now).  I will have to go to the store at lunch today. I am trying to de-sugar myself.  I can tolorate some sugar, too much and I get mild dumping.  But, I have learned how to space it out to get it in and I need to quit this quickly.  No candy in the house, holidays are over! We'll see how this goes.

Oh my gosh, look how far you have come!!!!! You have done awsome!!!!! YOU WILL GET UNDER 200#, do not get discuraged(SP?). When you start to feel bad just pull out some old pics and then take a good look in the mirror at that beautiful women in there, THAT IS YOU!!!! Just hang in there and follow the rules!!!!! This is not a diet this is a way of life now. When we had our surgery we choose to eat healthy for the rest of our lives. Make sure you are getting your exercise in everyday too. At least 30 minutes!!!!! Good Luck Here with you for the journey, Terri

Sounds like you're doing a great job Terri!! That's fantastic! I love the 5dpt~it was a lifesaver for me!
