Link to Bulletin in Archive
The feasting season is a challenging time of year to do the 5 Day Pouch Test - I know this as well as you. But over the years I've found that a few reminders of what we learn (and re-learn) during the 5 days go a long way in helping us stay on track in the midst of countless obstacles. I've gathered 7 of my go-to tactics from the 5DPT and invite you to implement them this season. None of us wants to wake up to the harsh reality of holiday weight gain come New Year's Day. But we don't want to miss out on the spectacle we call life either. I think we can each find our own happy middle and this year let's truly enjoy LivingAfterWLS during the holidays. Also featured today is the short article "Hot Stove: Avoid the Burn" and be sure to put our Delicious Turkey Salad on your leftovers menu this week, you will love this fresh light salad with loads of flavor and health promoting nutrients.

5DPT tactics to make the season bright
Have fun, enjoy living, and stay on track with these helpful hints
by Kaye Bailey
When
I hear from someone doing the 5 Day Pouch Test during the holiday
season I admire their courage and true grit. It seems that doing the
5DPT during the feasting season is about as easy and going upstream
without a paddle. Yet over the years I've heard from many WLS Neighbors
use this time to get cozy with their pouch and fixed on following the
WLS rules in hopes of avoiding the dreaded holiday weight gain. While
this time of year isn't particularly conducive to the 5DPT there are
many opportunities to polish our skills using strategies we learn from
doing the 5 Day Pouch Test. I've pulled some of my favorite nuggets of
empowerment from the 5DPT Owner's Manual - 2nd Edition to share with you
here. Use these tactics in a manner suited to your lifestyle and
traditions: work that surgical tool like nobody's business. Find
yourself on January first having done the holidays right without
forfeiting joyous fun or forsaking your healthy weight management goals.
