Hello all

I am starting my holiday detox early. I fell off the bandwagon and gained.....gasp 7 pounds! SH*T.....so instead of waiting for the holidays to officially be over and add to the total I have decided to start a detox program for myself early....

I am going on a few days of liquids only, followed by the 5 day pouch diet. I figure it it an easy way to get back on track.

Anyone want to join me and NOT wait until 2009 to get those holiday pounds off?

Welcome 1 day! :hurray: It is ok this is a judgement free zone!

I am with you but will start on Monday. I have not gone wild but need to get back on track. I really want to be in Onderland and keep bouncing between 210 and 204.

Thanks I need to do this because I feel out of control right now.

Do we all want to start Monday??

What is the pouch diet? I feel off the wagon Christmas as well. Its the first time since I had my surgery in Sept. to do so. I feel so guilty.

I am with you guys too. I have not been eating great since Thanksgiving but havent gained either. Exercise has been cut in half too. I will start tomorrow. I know we can get back on track. Damn those slider foods. Ha! Ha!

Yes I am starting Monday.

The website is Surgical Weight Loss 5 Day Pouch Test

This is going back to the basics like when you fist got banded.

You don't need to by the book if you don't want to. It is all on the website

Thanks for sharing! I appreciate the info and the support!

NO no, not guilty but human. We all are and we are grown up enough to admit it! :hurray:

No negatives, we know our faults, we are over it and we are moving forward!

We are picking ourselves up NOW! :laugh:

I am with you guys. I got on the rollercoaster and I need to get off before it gets the best of me. I have gained about three lbs and I'm not happy about that. I have failed at every diet I have tried in the past.That is why I do not look at this as a diet but a lifelong commitment to change.

I am in! I am at 203 and what a great way to start the New Year under 200! I want to leave the 2s in 2008. I'm going to start tomorrow. What an excellent idea!

Unless you have little to no restriction why are you having to go on a special diet to lose weight you gained over the holidays? I didn't get banded to eat wildly and gain weight then go on a diet -- thats what life was before I was banded.

Snarky, table for one? Right this way, please... :tongue_smilie:

Perhaps there will be some crow eating after being banded for a longer period of time. :tongue_smilie:

And some PBing on that crow, perhaps?

BBK how did you know what I needed? I am so up for this. I will be buying some Protein tomorrow. Because I have a lot of preparing to do for this I am going to start on thursday. However I will be back at the gym on monday.

Part of my epic stall has been due to not properly preparing for the inevitable hunger. I am going to plan this final push to goal out carefully.

Thanx for this post, I am ready to continue what I started with this band.

And some PBing on that crow, perhaps? :tongue_smilie:

Oh the hilarity!
