Started Atkins...

To lose my pre-surgery weight... and it is going a lot better than I had hoped! So many diets, so many failures... and for the first time I am following a strict diet and I am not hungry! I have a roast cooking, and I have made 15 deviled eggs and some tuna and some other cheese/meat plates... so I am ready... and didn't touch a bite while I was cooking! Hope this lasts... I will lose all the weight they want me to and then some at this rate! Yea!!

I think it's a great idea to go ahead and prepare yourself to cut the "bad" carbohydrates out of your life pre-op so you're not "shocked" as a post of when you aren't able to tolerate them as well (at least traditionally....) It's good to get your mind set ready for this wonderful journey!!! Keep us posted of your progress!!! Dee Dee

That's great Marc, I was on Atkins also pre-surgery, you're right, never hungry. Best wishes to you on your wls. Meso

Hey, Marc!!! I also think it's a great idea to lower your carbs before surgery. Think "protein, protein, protein"! Keep up the good work! Becky
