Hello, new to the 5:2 thing. I am a year and half out and totally stuck at almost 80 pound loss. I have really ramped up my exercise for the past month and am noticing tightening and loss of inches but no weight loss. I am considering this as a jump start, I routinely stay at 1000-1200 mark on average days. Wondering what foods you DO eat on a fast day? How much Water? Thanks

Major Social Functions - How do you handle it?
adargie replied to MommyMeghan's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
When people asked me why I was eating so little I said well I have am really watching my intake. At a wedding I even carried around a glass that looked like it had an alcoholic bev in it but was really Water with lemon! I was lucky and was able to avoid major get togethers the first 8 weeks. I lost pretty slow so I got a few comments but nothing jaw dropping. I made sure to bring a shake with me just in case, but I always found some kind of meat that I could cut up. I to this day(being over a year out) have mastered the move food around on my plate move, to make it look like I am eating more than I am. And I eat VERY slow. Most people don't even notice -
My husband keeps cooking!
adargie replied to mareea2's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just removed myself form the the kitchen, I went downstairs and watched tv to get away from the pizza ordered at my house 5 days post op for me. Ugh the first 2 weeks were the worst, now it doesn't even phase me. I do get cravings tho -

Time off work-did you need more or less
adargie replied to mochax's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I took about 1 week off, I was fine but I have a high pain tolerance. Never really got overly fatigued. I have a moderately physical/walking job. It did help me get my butt into a routine fast. Hardest part was getting my fluids/protein in, I did struggle there. If you have the ability to take ore time do it I say. I just was greedy and didn't want to use all my vacation time on sick leave. -

Swinsuit season makes me so mad at myself
adargie replied to pinkbarbie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I got a couple miracle suits on sale last week, they fit great but my skin looks awful!!! I also have the cellulite and jiggles, but I think I am going to get a wrap to wear around my waist to hide that, otherwise this body is ready for some sun!!! -
Do you ever have hungry days?
adargie replied to LynRN's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes I have days that I can eat more and days that I can barely eat anything. Today is one of the not much days So I take full advantage of those and just eat enough to get my protein in. It is a battle when you are hormonal. I will allow a small treat, but I still track everything so that I am accountable. -
Slower To No Weight Loss :(
adargie replied to rizabonita's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey rizabonita! I see you had Dr Foote, so did I. I had the sleeve about 9 months ago and I see a trend where I drop a couple stay steady then wham I/m up 2 pounds, then out of the blue I am down those 2 plus 2 more, but it takes a month to do that. Crazy. I am frustrated but happy that its still moving in the right direction I guess. Keep your chin up!! -

adargie posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So here goes nothing! highest weight/surg weight 265 as of today 197.2. Surg date aug 5 2013 so I am 9 months out. I am a slow loser but am pleased as punch with where I am at. My goal is 175 and from there who knows! My before pics are the first 2 I am the one all the way to the right in both. the 3rd is me 4 days ago after a new hair do! lol I don't have many full length pics, still finding myself avoiding the camera a bit like I used to. Hard habit to break! -
Has anyone tried "rev" pre-made Wraps with 19 grams of protein?
adargie replied to chsmith23's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I like the P3 protein snacks better, more protein and less carbs, and they were buy one get one at my local grocery -
How much were you eating at 6 months post op?
adargie replied to LynRN's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
What Protein ball recipe do you use? -
You will totally go through some emotional ups and downs after this surg. Some of it is from your body adjusting to the new habits and less intake. Don't let the scale rule you. I am a slow loser, but it is coming off, just consider any loss an accomplishment, don't be hard on yourself, you just went through a major surg and life change. Think before and how often did you have a loss/gain. Hope you feel better! It will get easier
