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!!!!

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!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
