The old Atkins plan really worked for me! Lost 6.5stone when I focused on it 6 years ago but once I stopped, I regained all the weight! Eating Protein and fats was so easy for me but it’s very severe ... I’m such an idiot! 🤯

I guess it's just "what you know". Not that I'm a saint...solid mid-hedonist here...but we've been LC for so dang long that it's just become "how we eat"--low carb that is. But we do have carb escalation lol that happens then we have to check ourselves at the door--hence this AMAW/CAMAW week. :)

Did anyone else do AMAW/CAMAW Day 1 with me? If so, how'd it go?

I did fine until last evening. The desire for veggies was really hard at the evening meal. I should have just made the danged ol' psylli wraps and had my tacos. Then I woulda been fine. Instead I was lazy and just had leftover grilled chicken and an ounce of avo. I felt "less than." LOL!

scale only moved 0.2lbs. A lot of work for little scale love.

I wish I knew! I only use my mobile for responding to posts that come into my email...for updates in my signature line and in my profile and ticker, I use my desktop computer.

But if you are on your mobile device and go to your menu icon in the upper right hand of your phone and click on it then >>Account>>Account Settings>>Settings Area>>Signature

You can add things into a footer and change a bunch of stuff! I can't find where you change your Ticker though. :(

AMAW/CAMAW DAY 2 Begins Today!!!!! Wooooohooooooo!
Don't Cheat! Eat Meat! :) Who's on board for a run with AMAW/CAMAW?

I'd like to say it was smooth sailing yesterday. But I hit rough Water last night and barely made it through choppy waters. Shhhh don't tell Mr. F. but I licked every piece of his al dente broccoli that I put on his plate. :blush: kserrynotserry...

:) But I'm feeling strong this morning even though the scale only moved down 0.2lbs. I'll still take that as a Day 1 win!

How was your first day for committed clean eating? Any hiccups or temptations? What's the plan for today?

My personal calorie goal is gonna be about 700cals/day.

Carbs = 9g (5%)+extra carbs from whole psyllium husks

Protein = 79g (45%)

Fat = 39g (50%)

The rules for AMAW/CAMAW are on page 1 - first post!!! Come play along! I'm gonna try to hold off on food until around 2pm.

Projected Menu:

B/MS/L = black decaff + black green tea

2nd L = egg salad on a cheese shingle

AS = Bone Broth with shrimp and sesame oil

D = 2 psylli grilled chicken, cheese, avo tacos

Projected Totals: 689 cals; 69g protein; 34g fat; 12g carbs; 2g psyllium fiber; 10g non psylli carbs

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
