At first I was stalled, and now I have gained a pound and a half. then i looked at my lunch yesterday and realized i was in real trouble. :( i was reverting back to old habits and was getting comfortable doing it. So someone told me about the 5 day pouch test, and so i started that today. Gotta get that old feeling back, and remember the right way to eat. Funny how easy it was, even tho i was so excited about my weight loss, that i would stray back into old habits. :angry: It was way easier than i thought. It wasn't neccesarily the volume as much as it was the choices. eating on the run, and loading up on carbs, and fatty food. I guess I can be happy that at least i recognized the problem and am more than anxious to remedy it before i get totally out of hand. so day 1 of 5dpt begins and we shall see what happens. :unsure:

oh, also i heard that we should get our body weight in Protein everyday? has anyone else heard this? I shoot for 60...how about you guys?

I've never heard of this... that would mean at my heaviest I would have had to eat 275 g of protein! I don't think that's possible. I try to hit 60 g every day. Good luck to you.

The only time I have ever heard anything remotely similar to that was during pregnancy when I was starting to develop high bp. I was told to eat HALF my body weight in grams of Protein every day. High protein diets in pregnancy work to lower bp and keep your body from breaking down cells to feed itself.

I am very curious to see how the 5DPT works out for you. I am having such issues with carbs that I'm ready to just go crazy! I cannot for the life of me stop eating them. It wouldn't be so bad if they were all healthy carbs like fruit and veggies, but in addition to that i'm having Cookies, cake, donuts, English muffins, sandwiches, and just about anything i can get my scrawny fingers on!!

If that 5DPT works for you to get the carbs out, and get you back on track, I will try it! But i'm starting to hate Protein shakes so much!!!

Good Luck!

Patti

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
