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

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!!

      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.
