Gastric Bypass Surgery Support Group
Gastric bypass (GBP) is any of a group of similar operative procedures used to treat morbid obesity, a condition which arises from severe accumulation of excess weight in the form of fatty tissue, and the health problems ("co-morbidities") which result. If you are considering gastric bypass or have had it, join the community where we share our experiences and find support.
Well, I'm happy to say that I went back up to where I started last week, but today am back down to 169 again.
I can definitely tell a difference in my pouch. I'm able to eat a lot less now and feel full very quickly, so I guess it did work for me. I'm going to continue with a modified version of the 5-day plan.. low carb/high protein. And this week I dug all of my protein powders out of the cupboards and plan on using them.
I brought my Chicken, Broccoli and Spinach dish to eat at work today, along with my new favorite staple - Jello. I love that Jello has so few calories and makes me feel full. I had leftover chicken and steamed broccoli, zucchini and tomatoes from Bonefish last night for breakfast, it was maybe 3oz. I was able to eat 3 broccoli florettes, a few pieces of zucchini and about 2oz of the chicken. I was surprised I filled up so fast.
Anyway, happy Monday, I hope all the moms had a great Mother's Day. Good luck on sticking to a healthy eating plan this week!

I, too, am sticking to a modified version of the 5DPT. High protein, low carb. Fish, chicken, beef first with veggies and fruit as well.
I feel like my pouch can't hold as much as prior to the test and that makes me feel like it did the job. I also lost a total of 5.2 pounds this week, 1.6 of those pounds coming after the 5DPT was over.
I am proud of all of us who committed to the plan and hope we continue on our healthy ways.
