5DPT - day 2

I did not expect that it would be that hard.   Yesterday - was bad...

Today is much better - I am not "starving" - I guess my pouch and body realized that no matter how much they scream - liquids is what they going to get.  I think I am over the "hump" in getting my carbs' cravings in control.  And I gave up coffee- so far so good. Still no headache  I am much more relaxed.  

I also got 2 enemas this morning - to help things moving.  I use just plain water or special solutions - high enemas.  Clean my colon, helps thing moving along.  (if you want to know more - google "high enema", "coffee enema", etc.)

Yesterday I had to stop at a store and buy SF jello and SF pops.  I was starving.   At the end - I was so hungry - that I gave in to my cravings and I had 1/2 grapefruit.  I figured that since it was mostly water anyway - probably will not do much harm.  My pouch and my body settled after that.   This morning I was 4 lbs below my previous weight - but I know it is mostly water.  Grapefruit and 8 gr of sugar alcohol were the only carbs for the whole day yesterday.  I probably lost most of my stored glycogen + water.  I know that when I start eating again - all or at least some of that weight will come back.  

Day 2 - same as Day one - but I am introducing full liquids - and need to get some chicken stock - I need some salt.  

Today I already had 23 gr of protein, 1 SF jello, 2 pops.  So far so good.  

This morning I made some protein fudge-Popsicles... I hope they will be good (frozen) once I get home. 

I am looking forward to start eating again, though not eating - can be addictive. 

As side effects of my first day on the 5DPT - I got dizzy and lightheaded.  I think my sugar must have dropped too low and it took my body a while to adjust for the low sugar level.  (thanks liver).

My cat was disappointed since there was noting she could get a bite off.  FYI: we share my food - but only if I have something she likes, and if I do not she looks at me with such a contempt - that it is as she was saying "You eating that? Why?" 

I hope to be able to report before the day is over.

Hala 

You are doing great!!  I should have thought about the popsicles. 

I too am finding it mauch harder than I thought it would be.  I made it through day one by having a protein shake arounf 7:00.  It seemed to fill me up.  I found today hard.  It was fine all day at work.  They even had nuffins, brownies and chocolate but I had no problem staying away from it allo. THAN we went to Costco.  Those darn samples got me.  I had 3 chips and a sample of easter cake.  Grrrrrrr!  Not happy with myself.

I was down 2 pounds this morning from yesterday whisch was lovely.  I know it is probabnly water weight but I dodn't care.  It is the lowest I have ever been and I am loving it!

Now to geth through the night.  It is hard making supper for my son and not being able to eat.  I am looking forward to soft protein tomorrow.  Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

I am glad the day is almost over.
I too had a week moment - and i end up eating grapefruit.  I am glad no one saw me - because if someone would try to get it away from me - I am afraid i would have bite them. lol.

Then I had 2 fat free sugar free - whole grain - low in carbs wafers... they were so good... but my pouch was not happy... so that was it - nothing more.  And even now - my belly is making noises... funny... not sure if happy or unhappy... but I am happy... I guess I needed that to "survive".
I am so glad tomorrow is the "food day". 
I do not remember the liquid per-op (4 weeks) to be that hard... but then - my memory is not as god as it used to be..

For the rest of the evening - my ginger and PMS tea will do  - maybe some other calming tea?  i think for the cat sake - I will pretend that I eat a bit of yogurt - she likes "stealing" some from me- if I "accidentally" leave a spoon with a bit of yogurt on a plate... funny cat... If I put yogurt on her plate - she will not eat it... But if I feed that to her on a spoon or my finger - she will have some... I think is the attention she wants...
