Not bad. At least I don't think it's too bad. How did you do? 

Good evening ladies.  I had a pretty good day today.  This morning I went to walmart to go grocery shopping then came home and relaxed before coming to work at 3.

Starting tomorrow I'm doing the 5 day pouch test/diet with a friend that had wls 4 years ago. She has gotten off track. To support her, I'm doing the diet with her. I don't know how I'm gonna do the first 2 days with only liquids but I will try my best.
If you have any suggestions for the first 2 days, please let me know or just pray for me.. LOL! 
If you want to join me, come on!!

Prayer couldn't hurt..I hear that the first two days are the worst because you're on liquids. Just keep pumping those liquids. There isn't a limit to them so nice thick protein shakes...and keep 'em coming. If you absolutely can't do the thin liquids, thicken those things up a bit and keep after it.

Good for you doing this as support for a friend. I haven't fallen off the wagon so much as I'm wondering about the mental aspects of this journey. The book I'm reading by Michelle Ritchie is helping. She's a substance abuse counselor who had wls and sees that abuse as the same as substance. In me, it is. Her approach is much like mine and she's successful so I'm staying with my OCD approach.

Your list looks great. No hint at all of a food mourning day (you know, last meal syndrome sort of thing)...and that's a good thing!

Good luck. Keep us posted. Although we can't help you with strength, we can listen to your trials..

See ya.
