Recommended Posts

I too agree' date=' my body enjoys ADR - or I thought it did! I mean, I feel good, it makes me enjoy my eating days and look forward to fast days as days I don't have to think about food. But after 19 days and no loss, I'm pretty bummed.[/quote']

That totally Buns me out for YOU! We've got to be able to figure out a way to Kick start your body back into losing mode. Maybe change up When your fasting span is. Like eat earlier in the day and then fast the twelve if you are eating later in the morning etc. try eating a few more carbs a few days (if they are available) and then go back to low carb reduction to see if it will trick your body. I know you are limited right now I. What you have to work with! Sometimes I have to change up my routine to get losing again. Best to you!!!

Globe, keep in mind 5:2 was designed as a longevity plan, and weight loss came second. Its still working even when you don't lose weight. If you like it, do it! AT least the 5:2 part.....

GeorgiaGeorgiaGeorGIAH! GeorgiaGeorgiaGeorGIAH! (sung to the conga line tune) yay! Were you completely naked when you weighed? Before a shower? I take any advantage I can get, lol.

Eating day since it is my Monday (it's Sunday), 2 scrambled eggs, .5C roasted potato, tea w/milk.

a double chocolate mocha frozen Protein Shake

Whatever Protein they offer at dinner, plus whatever greens they have for salad, 2 TBSP caesar dressing.

Flax seed in my shake, Vitamins and probiotic pills.

YES! Just peed, stripped to the bare, and standing just right! ha! Lol. No, I actually weighed about 5 times to get my picture just right And it was the same all times!

NOW, the real work starts! Although, I am going to continue "as is" right now as this is my new lifestyle.

The frozen Protein Shake sounds good!!!

Another 1lb this week, now 175lb, total loss on 5:2 so far is 6lb. It seems to be working for me.

I don't know if Monday weigh in is good though as it is after the weekend indulgences! I did see a lower number on the scale on Friday so I know it is achievable.

Awesome! That bounce is a norm for me. I hit a new low,bounce around a few days or a week, then hold that low before moving down again.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
