Onwards & Downwards: March 2017

[AB Editor]

Afternoon!

Last month's thread: http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Body-and-Soul/Weight-Loss-and-Dieting/Question1538043.html

We're all losers here - looking at where the thread ended up!

Personally, I am slowly dropping weight, but have been off the running for a week after a bit of a tumble during a run! I survived, but it was fatal to my phone. Tragic, I am sure you'll agree. Who said running is good for you? :)

[Old_Geezer]

Cheers.

I'm with you there Ed.....what about brisk walking instead? Sorry that your poor phone took the fall so badly. The bright side is that you get to buy a new phone.
Thanks for our March spot.

Good morning all,

I stayed the same this week. After so many weeks of going down that's fine with me.

[Old_Geezer]

Almost forgot to note this. Weight the same today as yesterday; so up yet another 0.4 lbs over the week :-(

[Islay]

Well I returned to work on Monday, only doing part time hours at the mo as do not have any energy, won't know my weight loss for another 2 weeks but I know I am only consuming 400 calories tops a day! Its very difficult when your appetite is so restricted, don't like meat, potatoes or pasta anymore!!!

[Smowball]

Hope ur ok ED?? Oh Islay that's not very much indeed. Surely you can't have any energy ? X

[Islay]

I don't smow, I'm hoping to increase it in the following weeks but its very difficult to fit food into such a restricted stomach.

[Butterbun]

Islay, have you tried the meal replacement drinks? They will have more calories in 2 lots that the 400 you are taking in. That is a very low amount. A friend was on these drinks and found them helpful until she could eat properly again.

[Butterbun]

You can get them on prescription.

[Islay]

Yes butterbun, to the point I sickened myself of them, have also tried drinking lactose free milk and taking protein powder in soups.
It is getting better every day - like today I managed 1/3 of a tin of tuna with some pepper and cucumber, also a petit filous yoghurt and some almonds.

[xstitcher]

0.4 lbs isn't very much OG.

[wendilla]

Forgot to weigh but have been pretty good this week so here's hoping for a good result next week

[wendilla]

Good Morning well success at last lost 2 lbs but that is over 2 weeks . Had a few salad meals but not too much as I can go off salad quite quickly if I have too much .

[Old_Geezer]

Of me too wend. Square cm of lettuce or a thin sliver of raw carrot and I've gone off it again for another few decades.

Wednesday again already ? Must go weigh myself I suppose.

[Old_Geezer]

I wrote "oh", I proofread it, and it still changed to "of" after posting >:-(

[Old_Geezer]

Due to another 0.8 lbs rise over the last 24 hours, I'm up yet again, 0.8 lbs over the week.

[xstitcher]

Good morning all, gosh I did weigh myself and then forgot to check in. Well nothing pleasant to report...a slight rise which I hope to get rid of by next week.

[Islay]

Had my official weigh in today, I have lost 71lbs since 2nd January, I am very happy but nurse is slightly concerned over my food intake, and should it be the same in 3 weeks she will be having a word with surgeon!

[Old_Geezer]

Well done.
Does she think it's too much or too little ?

[Islay]

Too little on average it's about 450 calories
