Tuesday 1245...
3 Atkins bars
4 ozs cheese
2 scrambled eggs and a rasher of bacon
Bacon, tomatoes and 25 grms uncooked weight pasta.
Coffee and fruit teas
On Sunday I had a slice of meat feast pizza (medium), left the outer crust. Thought my belly would explode an hour later...no more cheating for me ! Alex (my 12 year old) ate the other 5/6 and my crust together with a salad and 2 helpings of ice cream. Before my op I'd eat 2 trips to the salad bar, a large pizza, garlic bread and a pudding with a couple of trips for ice cream. Would also have been hungry an hour later!
Life now is great

Hi there, YorkieGal. I spent five years in London as a mature student, 1984 - 9. Lived in a Hostel in Hampstead on Fitzjohn's Avenue,NW3. Been to Florida six times to visit the Mouse. Always visited in February/March as I don't like the heat, although since my op I've been cold all the time. Planning a motorcycle tour of the West Coast when I retire.
I'm Welsh, living in a small village called Talley in the Black Mountains north of Swansea, nine miles from the nearest shop. Married an English girl from Manchester and have a son who's nearly 13. Good to hear from you!

Today for me was a fast food day, but I think I did very well. I have a protein shake for breakfast, Chili for lunch, and Chicken Apple Pecan Salad from Wendy's. Was shocked that I actually liked the salad and the vinaigrette. Only thing is I had to try to pick out the blue cheese bc it gives me the creeps..lol

I behaved poorly today eating mainly protein bars and sf frozen treats. I did throw in a little veg, cold cuts, and a drumstick. Liquids came in the form of diet soda. Net carbs on point, sugar alcohols have total carbs over the top.

Oooooh OK. I visited London back in 1988 and, alas, did not like the bacon as it was SO different from "our" bacon! I guess it's all about what we are used to!
Thanks for the info! :D

Topic: RE: Digusted with weight gain on Atkins
Whacka Doodle......
As of yesterday, it was a 6 lb gain (ugh) but when I got on the scale today, 2 lbs were gone! I've been a bit constipated lately, but yesterday I, uh, spent a considerable amount of time in the bathroom (you get the picture). :)
Checking in with doc is a good idea. My recent labs were all good including thyroid functions. But can't hurt to run it by the doc. :)
I went back over my food journal for the past six months. Interestingly enough, my weight started going up around the time I added meat, pork, and poultry back into my diet, after not eating meat for over four years. When I was only eating fish, dairy, and veggie proteins, I had no "bathroom problems", but things started "stopping up" upon adding in the meat. Not sure if there is a connection.
Thanks again! :D

Topic: RE: Digusted with weight gain on Atkins
Many of us have the instinct to say, "five pounds is no big deal," but I know that when I'm as high as five pounds more than my "normal," suddenly my clothes don't fit and my body doesn't feel right.
Sooooooooo ....
While five pounds is not a huge gain, it is ALSO true that UNEXPLAINABLE weight change, either up or down, can be caused by many things, and it might be a good time to go to your internist and say, "WTF?"
There are many disorders, from significant to trivial, that can cause weight change. At this point, you should probably run this problem by your physician.
How does that sound?
