Hello, my fellow Atkins and Low-Carb Losers!!!

I haven't been here except to read, for months, due to a post-op glitch: I am not absorbing fats well, they glide through me, and I was developing deficiencies and grotesque poop problems (don't ask).  Fr the last month I have been off of Splenda, and unable to eat my usual Atkins-type diet. Inflammation has dropped, anemia has improved, but I have gained weight and am devastated.

Just the re-introduction of carbs to replace the calories lost from fat has screwed up my metabolism, and every molecule of carbohydrate seems to convert to a pound of body weight.  I might be exaggerating, but I am up in weight (though feeling much better).

Really, I need help.  I need some way of eating a higher-protein diet that is lower in fat, but also low in carbs, and I am unable to figure out how to do that.  Just transitioning to lower-fat has been a huge hurdle.  If I'm not going to be getting as many calories from fat, then the calories are going to come from .... what!!!!

Anyone have any good suggestions?  Or even bad ones (I'm desperate).

I've got similar issues with whey (asthma), soy (thyroid) and vegetable (just plain nasty) proteins.  For the last couple years I've used egg protein.  I startd with JayRobb but I like Healthy N' Fit Nutritionals better.  Both are at Vitamin Shoppe. 

I mix shakes a pint per serving bcause it tastes less like protein this way.  An oz of egg ptotein powder to 8oz almond milk & 8oz water plus a drink mix single gives me a fruity taste without the fruity carbs (like wylers orange for a creamsicle flavor). 

I only buy vanilla once I realized I can mak it taste like nearly anything I want.   Unsweetened cocoa and instant coffee work well.  The only down side is its not for protein coffee.  You have to mix it room temp then temper it with the coffee just like you would temper eggs in some recipes.  I'm not that good with complicated cooking.
