I did fine today too, skipped food until 4pm, then some yummy Soup. However, I had some SF chocolate pudding because I was craving chocolate too! Naughty me. Still on the mark though. Felt great. Yes, there is always tomorrow, one of the fantastic things about the 5:2! Great job girls!

Yesterday I only came in at 400 calories. Normally I am around 550 but I wasn't feeling good and I went to bed early.

Susie, be careful eating today. Try to stick to your plan if you can. I believe what makes 5:2 work is sticking to a good diet on your regular days.

I'm interested in finding out if you feel more restriction than usual today.

Great job Susan!

Trying to eat today but cannot find enough clean foods to fill out my calories so I'll only have 650 cals today and I did Insanity plus weights.

Quest bars are my crack.......LOL I am so trying not to order any more of those, now I find myself thinking of going to the mall to buy them...Uggggggh! Good news is I haven't given in yet... :P

I struggle with fasting last week so this week I will make it rock. Time to get down to the 130's with no excuses.....I know it can be done because I have Georgia as a great example for me! :P;)

Georgia you are my role model..... :P

Wtg on the insanity! I did it when I was 95 pounds heavier and it was too hard! I wonder now if I can keep up.... Hmmm

Feeling weird today, not a bad thing, but I don't have an appetite. I woke up and ate 1 1/2 low carb tortillas with low fat shredded moZz and olive oil and middle eastern blend called Zatar. Haven't ate since, been drinking my fluids. It's almost 2pm and I really am not hungry. Probably going to have to grab me a Protein Shake before work. What do you all do when you aren't hungry on a regular day?

5:2 caused me and many others to be much less hungry on feast days! Enjoy! I believe that watching what you eat on non fast days increases your loss overall. Just get your Protein in and don't go too low on cals or your body will adjust to it and slow down loss overall.

Susie,

Have you spoken to your doctor about fasting?

On the 5:2 website it says that certain people should not follow this method.

Including type 1 diabetics...

I worry about something going wrong.

Most def don't do this until checking with your Dr if you are Type 1.

I did mention it and she said as long as I drink my fluids and my bs is stable then she trusts me ;)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
