Atkins and Low Carb Weight Loss
Recent Posts
I am just getting started on the process to have gastric bypass. I know I need to lose some of this weight before they will do this surgery, so I need to get back on track!
I also know that carbs are like crack to me... so after surgery, I need to stay far away from them if possible!
The budget concerns are still there... but I need to find a way to work around it. Any ideas with that are definitely welcome!
Thanks,
Amanda :)
The unfortunate cir****tance of my father passing recently, afforded me another opportunity. One of my daddy’s wishes was for me to have the surgery. My mom decided that part of his insurance money would pay for my new beginning. I am so grateful. I truly believe that this is the beginning of a whole new life for me.
Anyway, I am now 3 months DS post-op!!!! There was a little “hiccup" that landed me back in the hospital, a week out, but that has been resolved. I have now lost 118 lbs from my top weight (445) and 68 lbs since surgery (395). I

It’s nice to hear from other "Low Carb"ers, their problems and successes, tips and tricks. I look forward to making friends and developing relationships.

As far as fruits, any of them are too many carbs fro me but I am super sensitive so someone else will have to address tht one,sorry. good job on getting back on track and I don't worry about fat on Atkins.

What are the best fruits to eat on a low carb diet? I have watermelon and cherries in the fridge, but I have been worried about the carbs.
BTW...I tried the protein muffin, but I messed up a bit. Apparently, my microwave cooks fast. I cooked the muffin for 5 minutes. It came out like a brick. 
I will try again, but maybe cook it for 3 minutes.
Take care,
Alicia

Down three pounds from the whatevah that I gained last semester -- so, back on track.
Doing well.. yesterday I did really good. Food wise and just in general.
But since my last week trip to Ohio, my BM is all messed up. Not regular and not as it use to be - easy do it. Trips always messed me up in the past. So now I am trying to have that regulated again. As many of the low-carbers know - the high protein diet can be a bit tricky on the BM.
Today I am going to do intro to scuba. I am really excited. Never tried that - so not sure if I would even like it.
Eats:
coffee + raw milk..(x 3)
protein shake, flax muffin
more protein shake
chicken + veggies
yogurt, fruits, etc.
some cheese here and there...
