|  Five years out and trying to get back on track
Hello everyone, my name is Jeff. I am five years out. Highest weight before surgey was 451 lbs,at surgey 424, got down to 295 but went back up to 384 and now at 356. During this time i suffered a traumatic brain injury witch started the problem with the weight gain.Between the meds(32) to be exact and the depression and other effects of the injury, i just didn't seem to care and gave up! But... in the past 2 months thru therapy and finding two meds that seem to be working i am ready get back on track. I plan on starting the 5dpt next week and i am looking forward to losing weight and getting to my goal weght.

Welcome to the board, thank you for joining us.
You still have your tool so your determination to work with it is what leads to success.
(((((((HUGS))))))) May your journey go well.
5DPT is only temporary. You MUST get back to the basic pouch rules.
1) No drinking with eating--drink right up to your meal and stop, do not resume driking for 30mins-1 hour after your meals. (Some surgeons say stop drinking 30 mins before your meal--follow whichever was your surgeon't instruction.)
2) Protein first, veggies second, then carbs if you have space left.
3) Little bites, chew chew chew until mush, eat slowly, remember your mouth is now larger than your pouch.
4) The 3 bite rule: first bite is to get the good taste, second bite to verify the taste--is it as good as you thought it would be, third bite last bite savor it.
5) Exercise!!! Doesn't have to be tuff gym stuff, start by walking.
Hope this helps.
