How much of Atkins Meals?



Recommended Posts

How much of an Atkins meal can you eat? I am 9 weeks out on this Wednesday and i just ate a chicken & Brocolli meal. I ate a bit more then 1/2. A feel like i could have ate the whole thing but stoped because my mind said thats too much.

Just wondering how much of these kinds of meals can you eat in one sitting? Maybe i ate too much.

At 18 months post op, I can eat a whole Atkins meal. My personal favorite is the steak and broccoli with gravy. Yummy. Be careful when choosing the frozen meals, though, some of them are pretty high in sodium and msg. MSG and I are not friends. :)

Where do you find the Atkins meals?

I found them at Walmart with the other frozen Entrees. A "whole" Atkins meal is about 6-8 ounces of food, so it's about the perfect size for a meal for me.

I'm curious too... I'm 10 weeks out and feel like I can eat more than I should...

Darn it, I couldn't find them at my Walmart...I have been wanting to give them a try. I do like the Lean Cuisine beef tenderloins with broccoli, the one meal they have without noodles, rice or potatoes! How do the Atkins meals taste??

I am 7 1/2 months out and I can eat a half or little more usually.

Very good. I love them. They only have a few flavors but very good.

I can only eat 1/3 at 8 weeks out. My husband eats the rest (2/3), and is also 8 weeks out.

The Atkins meals are good if you have issues with Portion Control. Honestly though, if you're sticking to a high Protein, low carb diet, eating the whole thing is not a deal breaker. I did Atkins years ago and I ate until I was full of meat and veggies. No more than 20g of carbs per day... Just so you don't feel so bad :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
