Its late, no thread, so I'm putting it out there. 

You know what to do people! 

Actually - I believe I called you Doodle Girl, not Wacka Mole, LOL. I love my Doodle (Cindy Lou Who) but my only point was you have a lot of members who look like they are lurkers and it can be diceiving to only post the protiens when Atkins is so much about limiting NET carbs.

Thanks for the tips.  My problem areas are bread and fruits.  I LOVE fruit.  As for the bread, my standby breakfast WAS a peanut butter sandwich.  So i will be looking thru threads for different ideas.  I am mainly drinking crystal light and water.  And with no soda, I am drinking over a gallon a day. 
With RNY I have noticed I have a problem with cooked vegetables.  Getting stuck.  Not feeling good after.  So I will work on this as well.  I have been trying stir fries and salads with the warmer weather.
Thanks everyone for all your support in my journey.

Hi Penny --

First of all I think that getting soda out of your home and life is a GREAT place to start.  I would move on to ..

1)  the carbs you drink -- any beverage should ideally be zero carbs, watch out for flavored waters and coffee beverages!   The sneakiest carbs are the ones we drink because they just "slide" through!

2)  the next sneakiest carbs are the other "slider" carbs -- anything which, once you chew it up, just slides through your stoma withuot filling you up in the least.  It seems, on this message board, that the most frequent culprit is CRACKERS, followed by CHIPS (both corn and potato), and then COOKIES.

3)  Breakfast cereal is just highly refined CARB junk, and no one really needs it;

4)  Ice cream, along with its cousins (sherbet, sorbet, mochi, and especially sugar-free or fat-free frozen treats) is evil.  It just is.  Evil. 

Those are the big three that dog people in the WLS and Low-Carb worlds.  If I was starting to de-carb-ify my home,  I would get rid of every one of 'em. 


So that's from the NEGATIVE perspective.

From the positive perspective, take a look at the yummy things people ARE eating, on the CARb Accountability Roundup threads.  These will give you a good idea of the great variety of delicious things that really ARE availabie.

And go forward from there!

Nice to have you on board!
