Hi there and welcome! I'm 14 months post vsg and those last 15 pounds don't want to go. Atkins worked for me before the vsg, and I'm hopeful that it'll work again...

Bleh...I've eaten kind of crappily yesterday and today.
My big bad thing I had yesterday was 24 carbs worth of cheesecake
Bad thing today: Cheez its (27 carbs worth)
Other than these things, I've eaten well this weekend. The usual protein shakes, atkins bars, cheese and nuts for snacks, tilapia for dinner.
Thank God, that I can start fresh in the morning!
Have a great rest of the day everyone!

Plus an additional 42.2lbs pre op! Starting weight 300lbs. 
in order to lose weight I need to do hard core Atkins. maintaining is what I have been doing lately and that is because I have been eating carbs that I have no business eating.
lately I have been trying to stick to natural, low carb foods. lots of eggs, beef and chicken with a small amount of veggies. to make the meals more interesting I do make lots of curries, satays or cumin based sauces to add to the meats. to make it very low carb I make everything myself. no premade nothing. this I feel is the best way to ensure that there are no hidden carbs.

I had Rny 2-2-2010 six months before surgery my weight was 368lbs, now Im 166. I firmly believe I lost this weight because of help I got from members of this website. I had no idea what so ever about how low carb choices would get me to goal. I want to learn from each of you how you live and eat lower carbs. Im just now beginning to learn a tiny bit about how insulin levels and carbs make and keep ": some of us

Beetroot and onion seeds in 2 sprouters, so I can try them individually and mixed. I ordered a mega mix of packets, so I'll report which ones I like the most - if you like? Have a great Easter!

Happy Holidays! Or, if you don't celebrate, Happy Great Day anyway!!!
I've been eating VERY well over the last few days, and really putting in the relaxation and face-time-with-friends, so I'm feeling pretty good!
Today (this is a good example of eating on Atkins maintenance, folks -- NOT induction):
B: Three poached eggs, hollandaise, grilled asparagus, lox
S: coffee with chocolate syrup and full cream
L: chicken cholent (chicken, turkey, potatoes, carrots, onion, tomatoes) with quinoa
S: deviled eggs
S: strawberry and greek-yogurt smoothie
D: shepherd's pie, salad of greens from my garden and cucumbers, cumin carrots, beets, possibly a lemon bar for desert
Howabout YOU?

Hi there, and welcome aboard!!!
I'm doing Atkins. It has taken me several "tries" and countless "starts" to finally get the idea that I'm not on a diet, but gradually changing over to a low-carb way of eating for life. Periodically I wind up "off the wagon," but the nice thing about this way of eating is, you can repair your mistakes by eating correctly with the very next bite, and then history is history, and the future is the future!
A good way to get started is by
1) getting a good idea of how much protein you should have (adequate protein is the cornerstone of any healthy low-carb way of eating)
2) deciding if you're goin to start with a ketogenic program (such as Atkins), or something else;
3) figuring out how much carbohydrate you will limit yourelf to, for the "induction" phase (if you're doing Atkins, in which case it's 20 grams/day)
4) laying in a supply of healthy protein and higher-fat foods; then
5) doing it! And finding support whever it will be useful.
If things don't go exactly as you wanted, then forgive yourself and do it better with the next bite you take!
We are glad to have you here!
