I was trying to respond to the 5:2 diet thread. How do you send a message to Alex? I'm not sure what constitutes a veteran either. I am a year out.. -
I tried to do the fast days 4 different times. I was successful the first day only. I think the plan is really good. I am just not ready to fast all day, yet.

Can you take protein bars on a plane?
cynthia4722 replied to thehappycat's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Yes you can. I have also traveled with protein powder in ziplock bags measured by portion and a drink cup to add water to and make my own protein drink. I flew home three weeks after surgery. -
Does anyone never weigh?
cynthia4722 replied to aliekat55's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 11 months out down 105 lbs. and have been weighing myself twice a day. I don't find this to be helpfyl as my weight will fluctuate during the day. I joined weight watchers for help and decided today to only weigh myself weekly at the meeting. By doing this I can focus on my behavior and not drive myself nuts about what the scale says. I also know that if I stick to the plan I will loose weight. -

I had to crush pills for a month. I had a real hard time as some were real bitter. My surgeon had me check with the pharmacy if it was ok to crush the pills as some pills Should not be crushed.

Recovering alone?
cynthia4722 replied to JessicaAnn's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I don't have kids and I had an extremely easy recovery, However for a few weeks I would get completely exhausted and have to stop everything and lie down. This would happen with no warning. Because of this I would not have been able to care for a child let alone lift one. Good luck, I am sure you will find a solution. -
Foodie question
cynthia4722 replied to krystalt313's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am able to tolerate them. However I find I can only eat a very small portion and then I am full and can't eat anything else. I prefer to eat protein which is more filling and more satisfying for me. -

I apologize. It is presumptuous of me to tell others what to do. -

I AM 82 LBS DOWN AND STILL LOOK THE SAME
cynthia4722 replied to BewhoGodcreatedmetobe's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have lost 85 pounds, and I can see the change, but still look very big to me. I saw someone today who looks like she weighs what I did, and that helped me see how much smaller I am than I was.
