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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!

      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!
