Hi everyone. Well after having to cuss my scale this morning it did move for me. Just a pound but it went.

When u guys weigh how long do you wait before you weigh like after getting up in the morning?

Yikes.... I am about to abandon ship here! Help! LOL So, this morning says I am up 2 pounds from yesterday. How can that be?!?!? I stayed on plan yesterday and the only thing I can figure is I had ham for breakfast and dinner and the sodium is killing me. Ughh! I am upset. To make things even worse... I am SO constipated! I have not been constipated at all since being banded so I am thinking it has to be the Atkins thing. What do you think?

mamato3, the sodium is probably making you retain Water. As far as the Constipation, I dunno. Atkins hasn't effected me that way yet. Hope it gets better!

I always gain a couple of pounds at first and then it drops pretty quickly. Try some of the flavorless fiber...

Constipation has been a problem for me since banding and on Atkins. That's why I don't do strict Atkins. I will eat fruit. I guess it's more like

South Beach. Lean meats, fruits and lots of veggies. I don't do so well

with the veggies unless I make myself a big salad with a lot of different veggies in there.

I've tried Benefiber and all it does is give me gas. doesn't do much for the problem.

Today has been ok for me so far. It feels good to be back on track, for the most part anyway. i had the insides of a breakfast burrito, a taco salad for lunch, and here's the uhoh....lemon slush from sonic. I am just going to forget I had that and keep going forward. I was down a pound this morning!! WOOHOO. I haven't lost any weight in awhile.. I am sooo proud of my little pound!!

Thats how it is, one day at a time. I think I am going to try that 5 day pouch test and then hit the low carb hard.

Today has been really good for me so far. I have found an alternative to my starbucks coffee!!! Regular coffee with sf coffeemate hazelnut Creamer (in the dairy section). Not only will this save me carbs but also lots of dollars. I didn't have breakfast. For lunch I had an 8 oz steak. For supper I had pepperjack cheese and bacon stuffed chicken breast and squash. It was some kinda yummy. Yipee for me. I think my mind is officially back in this game!!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
