Instead of a drink, maybe try mixing a bit of unflavored protein into you foods. I did that often during my first 3 months post-op.

They are good with water but i prefer unsweetened silk almond milk with vanilla. Little calories and good stats :)

I was just wondering if anyone goes to BodySystems to get their protein powder and what kind?  Obviously, I will be on it after my surgery but was just wondering what other people are buying?

Thanks!

Okay, from what I can see, you aren't eating enough. Atkins Induction is over 1200 calories and on the average, 20 net carbs. In fact, they feel more comfortable with 1500 calories for women and 1800 calories for men.

From the food entries, you have under 1200 calories AND just 13.5 net carbs.

Add more veg into your diet. You would have to eat nearly 30 cups of iceberg lettuce to get 20 net carbs! Onions, spinach, a few cherry tomatoes. Green beans, bell peppers, asparagus, etc. are all good additions too. 

Truthfully, ditch the Slim Jims... Nothing but chemicals and not enough real meat. 

Alas... sugar free creamers are not (in all honesty) sugar free. They add different types of sugars that can spike your blood sugar levels and you not even know it. I went with cream or half and half and liquid stevia. I got some from Trader Joe's and mixed it with pure hazelnut extract. Voila! Hazelnut lattes. 

So... add a couple of more calories (which you can do if you switch to heavy cream) and add more veg. 

I lost 32 pounds in 2 1/2 months before surgery with 1400 calories, 20-21 net carbs daily. The trick is simply finding your "sweet spot".  

Sure . I have bacon for breakfast ( not maple cured or anything with carbs) on occasion I eat a fried or scrambled egg . 

Lunch is either a Piece of grilled chicken or strip steak  with iceberg lettuce and 2 servings of ranch ( 4 carbs) 

dinner is the same as lunch 

snacks .... Pork rinds plain or a slim jim

nothing other than water to drink 

if I have a sweet tooth I will drink coffee with sugar free French vanilla creamer
