Hey! I'm STILL on it (LOL). I'm still doing liquids/soups througout the day and incorporating day 3 & day 4 proteins for dinner (it's been 8 days now - i think). Today has been an odd day...

Lunch: 3 shrimp! (LOL!!! I'm stuffed on 3 shrimp!)
Dinner: Pumpkin/sausage soup (I started making it for lunch but realized I forgot to buy pumpkin. So...waiting until DH gets home with the pumpkin).

Not the best day regarding caffeine, but I'm o.k. with that for now.

That's it for day 2....now on to day 3...hmmm, think I'll have an egg and some cottage cheese tor breakfast in morning
Soooo...how did you do???

Woohoo Amelia! Keep up the great work...and where did you find sf mint pudding? I am jealous! Honestly, I went off my second 5dpt today. With everything going on, it was too stressful, and nothing was staying down. Right now, I am just playing it by ear, and trying to get protein and liquids in.

But, I am still here to cheer you on!!!

when I'm looking through the 5dpt, I see Cream of Turkey soup for days 1 and 2...but cannot locate the recipe...any help on this please?

Kyndablond....so sorry, but no I couldn't find a recipe either....I can tell you that the Pumpkin and Sausage and the Black Bean soups are both VERY yummers! Ummm, the only "posted" recipe for Turkey and Chicken I could find on the 5dpt were both for "salad" and for day 3...so sorry, Maybe an older(older to LAWLS) veteran can help you...or it may be something that's in the Cookbook....

~1 egg with 2T cottage cheese (only ate about 2/3 of this)
~20oz "Fulfill" Water...SF

Good job

I am planning on doing sorta the 5 day thing except at the end of the 5 days i am just going to stay on it!!!

My coffee consumption im sure is bad i do 2 10 cup pots a day.

Adam: That is way too much coffee. My DH used to drink it like that & developed problems w/ his urinary system. Wean yourself down...a lot! You don't need blood in your urine before you decide to back off a little. How's that for a neighborly kick in the pants! Please be careful.

Amelia

I'm always cheering for you.....sending you a armful of sunshine and lots and lots of hugs

Ok yes thats a eye opener!!! Would decaf work? i could do decaf but i LIKE my hot coffee. When its not so cold i drink alot of the walmart knock of of crystal light ice tea. My liquids on a normal day are atleast 128oz.

Adam,
Decaf is what my DH had to go to, but 20 cups of coffee of any kind is too much. Maybe ask your doc how much is OK for you. DH is under 10 per day.

Day one here
2 protien drinks 1 with banana 1 strawbery i use real forzen fruit, and 34 grams per drink
going in to make the split pea soup.

I am having the old urges to kill those who EAT. Took everyone to McDonalds and i didnt even suck a french fri dang it smelled good

Amelia - you gotta share

8oz Mint chocolate fudge protein shake(made w/SF Jello pudding and milk)...32g protein

What is your recipe for this - my fav is mint chocolate

OK...IT'S SO SIMPLE....
1- 4 OZ RTE(READY TO EAT) JELLO MINT CHOC FUDGE PUDDING(2G PROTEIN)
4 OZ WHOLE MILK (THAT'S WHAT I USE; HAS 4G PROTEIN)
1 SCOOP BODY FORTRESS CHOC PROTEIN POWDER (26G PROTEIN)

I JUST PUT THIS IN THE BODY FORTRESS SHAKER CUP AND SHAKE TIL IT'S MIXED (ABOUT 10-20 SECONDS)...POUR INTO A GLASS AND ENJOY! REALLY YUMMERS!!!!

Newbee here...

Going shopping for my 5day test...

What are good clear liquids to keep in house...especially hot ones...

Thanks
Dawn

Depends on what you are looking for...just liquids/no protein I ALWAYS have herbal teas onhand...low sodium broths are ok (Not my fav)...but you really need to be sure you are getting your protein VERY IMPORTANT during 5dpt and afterwards...so if you are looking for protein supplementation with clear liquids...hmmmm I may not be the best person to ask. Personally I LOVE the soups for days 1&2 on the 5dpt...go to the link (top left hand corner and click on it then go to recipes for days 1&2)...I also bought SF Philly Swirl popsicles{oops, forgot you said HOT}...can't think right now...lemme get back to you. BE SURE you have protein powder for shakes! Remember the 5dpt is for getting us "back on track" and the key for days 1&2 is to repair any damage done to the pouch and give it a rest hence the all liquid phase...but WATER AND PROTEIN are SUPER DUPER important during this...btw, herb teas count as water. Blessings!

Hi there!

I stuck with chicken broth and soup for days 1 & 2 for hot liquids. I did add protein powder to the soups for the extra protein. I made the sugar free pudding and also added extra protein to it. As for the shakes I used the Slim Fast Low Carb which had 20 grams of protein each.

Good job MsBrat!
You can do it....what day are you on today {Thursday}???

Blessings!

HI WHEN YOU MAKE YOUR MOCHA COFFEE,HOW DO YOU GET THE COFFEE GROUNDS TO MIX GOOD? I THINK THERE ARE TOO MUCH COFFEE GROUNDS IN IT. DEBBIE
