The FastDay Forum

Yes I am, but not fasting. Well, I have tried from time to time since the hip replacement, but my body just screams "feed me!!". Today i talked to my physio girl about this and she said "you are still healing, it takes time and just take it easy on the 5:2". Not that I have gained that much, round 1.5kg, but I had a goal for Christmas. Now I'm rea-goaling and let's say - next March I will be well under 80kg The good thing is that she say that I'm around 1 month ahead of normal rehab (which is round 3 months) - it pays of to be stubborn as a mule. And I can manage 30kg on 3 of the leg machines - yayyy.

Am back at work after 4 months and although I don't find it that fun, it's great to be among grown ups again (The DH don't count) and honestly, I had no idea I was that popular cause the amount of happy squeals and hugs I got was totally surprising. And my boss lady said this morning "heck, you look GOOD!" Imagine what I must have been looking like before the surgery??

Back to the sewing machine and the umpteenth trial compass needle.

Good to hear from you @Wolfie - hope your recovery continues well!

Glad you are doing so well.

Hiiiii there Wolfie! Don't overdo it in work or at home..remember" you're still healing" like the physio said
And i' m not at all surprised your colleagues were glad to see you again..so are we! X

Had to smile at your subject line @Wolfie sounds like you are in good form though. I figure when the time is right you will get back to IF follow your body 's signs. Your sense of humour is lovely

@Wolfie! Wonderful you're healing so well, take good care and no rushing it m'dear, we're in this for the long haul so sensible eating and exercise - no fasting until your body is properly up to it x

Somewhat selfishly, with an eye to my own upcoming knee & shoulder surgeries, I'm delighted to read that you're rehabbing so well and so quickly.

It must be such a relief to be around adults again

Good Luck for your continued wellbeing.

Take care of yourself and best wishes for a speedy recovery

Lovely to hear from you and good to know that your recovery is going well As others have said, you'll know when you are ready to start fasting again, in the meanwhile enjoy some good healing food! Best wishes.
