I hate cottage cheese. Or rather, I used to. Now I de-engineer it. I put it in protein shakes, or blend it up with sugar free jello to make yummy protein pudding, whirl it up with chicken or eggs & a shot of mustard as a chicken or egg salad. I also blend 1 small avocado, cottage cheese and dijon mustard & put it on my Kims Magic Pop for a great snack. Nom nom nom.

My doctor said 4-6 weeks due to all the germies in the water. He said there is not enough chlorine in the world to kill all the e choli etc.

Also, when building muscle the body packs on water around the muscles to repair the torn muscles. Just keep doing what you are doing and it will come back off.

They are crunchy so I would say whenever you are cleared for all foods. I didn't find them until I was 6 months out.

I didn't find them until I was 6 months out. Could've had them anytime after I was cleared for all foods. They seem to be a slider food unless I put something substantial on them.

Mine or the original poster? If you send me your email address I can add you.

I had a corset trunkplasty with tummy tuck muscle tightening. I've had 2 c sections. The muscle tightening was 10-12 times worse than my c sections. That's real talk.

I am doing ok. I have had a complication develop with one of incisions & I have an abcess. Struggling to feel somewhat normal.

An update on me: currently 180. Size 8. 20 pounds to goal! Total lost so far is 158 pounds. [ATTACH]14700[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]14700[/ATTACH]

It's been pretty bad. I had 2 c sections & I would say the pain was 10 times worse. But I stopped the pain meds a week after surgery. I was feeling a lot better but then I seem to have had a minor setback. Not feeling as good as I was but I've had a complication with one of my incisions. The skin is dying & now it's infected. I'm sure it will get better but I think that's why I am feeling run down.

Thanks y'all. I think we can all get here. I have struggled & stalled multiple times and I made it. It is strange tho, I never had a goal size. Only a goal weight (160). I probably would be happier now if I'd have picked the size first. Lol.

Hi y'all. I've been lurking for a while & I am joining the 5:2. I am 13 months out. Approximately 22 pounds from goal. I was stuck from January to May when I had my corset trunkplasty. I dropped almost 20 pounds after surgery (he removed 12 pounds) & I am still holding probably 3-4 pounds of swelling. The last week I am back to not losing weight so I want to try this & see if it keeps things moving. I will be doing fast days on Mondays and Wednesdays. I really want to get to goal. Kristie
