5DPT - worked!!!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone.... On my last thread I had asked if anyone tried the 5 Day Pouch Test? Well... I did. It works... I'm back on track now. No more carb cravings and taught me to measure foods again. Even though I was following my doctors plan I must have just been missing that one step. I even lost 2.8 lbs. That alone finally gave me the confidence and push that I need to not give up to keep moving forward!!!! I even tried Zumba for the first time and it felt great!!!!

I highly recommend the 5DPT for anyone that is struggling or just needs a reset!!! Big shout out to the author Kaye Bailey..thank you!!!!

I am relatively new (almost 3 months PO) but recently i had a few bad days where i overate and i want to make sure i don't do any damage so early on in my journey so i just started 5DPT today.

Thanks everyone.... Yes, I feel like I'm back at the beginning and it feels great!!! The 5DPT is a condensed version of what you would do the weeks after surgery. Below is a link to the website. If you feel like you need to get balanced again, got a little side tracked and want to see if your band is still working I highly recommend trying this for a week.

I made it a couple of week ago and froze it. Soooo glad I did. And the weather we are having here in the Northeast says chili is a must! :-)

I didn't think I was going to get through the night last night. All I could think about was what I was going to eat today. No lie. My stomach was growling so bad that I couldn't even get comfortable. But I survived!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
