Recommended Posts

I get the munchies at night too ... do you like Pork rinds? I love the picante flavor but found that the spiciness irritates my pouch when sitting in there so I bought some plain pork rinds instead ... 1/2 oz is 80 calories, no carbs & 8 grams of Protein. Just had 1/2 oz and feel full :tongue:

I used to eat Pork rinds when I had done the Atkins diet in the past. I hadn't even thought of getting them now. I will have to go get some today. I tried to eat a little green pepper before going to bed, but it didn't agree with my pouch. Tonight I will definately have some pork rinds on hand.

ohhhhh, i LOVE Pork rinds. i like the spicy ones though, just cant eat the plain for some reason. too... well, plain... :tongue:

day 1 i ate clean, i dont even count 'net carbs'. i do total carbs and was under 20 and according to the scale this morning, i am UP almost a pound... grrrrr!

i just hope TOM is getting ready for an early visit. im not going to let it discourage me. i know Atkins works for me and we went shopping last night. sausages, shrimp, crab, you name it ... yummie!!

today's plan:

b - atkins shake

s - salad with ham and shredded cheddar and spicy ranch

l - 1 johnsonville brat w/ spicy mustard

s - if needed atkisn shake

d - 5oz pot roast and .25 cup green Beans

dont think i'll eat all that but i like to plan up so i can go under my target numbers for the day.

to the scale this morning, i am UP almost a pound... grrrrr!

Don't feel bad, yesterday morning the scale said I was up 3 lbs :smile: ... and this morning it hadn't budged. Also this morning for the first time in quite awhile I had a hard time putting my rings on so I'm retaining Water for some reason :tongue:

grrr... how frustrating is that?

im going to make an effort to drink from my water bottle every 15 mins today (as opposed to every 30) to see if that makes a difference.

Ok, Let me whine just a little. Today was completely crazy. My 3 month old foster son has a stomach virus and has bloody diarhea. My 3 year old foster sone woke up with 102.1 temp. We went to the doctor. He has the flu. Brilliant me, I didn't get a flu shot, so I am now taking tamiflu. My 6 year old foster daughter had a really bad day. She pitched a huge fit, kicked, pinched and hit me. We had a visit from the social worker, so I had to clean house! YUCK! YUCK! YUCK!.. At about 3:30 I realized that I had not put a bite of food in my mouth all day.

On a good note... I talked to my doctor when I took the kids in, and he started me back on glucophage. I am starting at 500mg a day and working up to 1500. So far so good. I have had 1 dose and no stomach upset.

I know this is pitiful, but here is what I ate today.

1cup sweet and spicy tuna creations with 2 TBSP mayonaisse

7 Pork rinds

Not near enough Water

All of the kids are in bed, so I am headed that way too.

Planning for a great tommorow,

Amy

Guys, I did awful today! I did so good all day and then I went to my sister's bridal shower tonight and I ate some things I shouldn't have. I feel awful about it. It's really sad that I couldn't even last 2 days. I think I'm just going to go back to what I've been doing, which is just eating 3 really small meals a day. I was able to lose 7 lbs last week doing that, so I'm going to forgo the Atkins induction for now. I wish you ladies all the best and I hope you all find success with this!

Losing, I just noticed what your starting weight was. You should be so proud of yourself. It is people like you that inspire the rest of us to keep moving forward.

Well, all is well so far today. The baby seems better. The 3 year old is still running fever, but is taking a nap right now.

MY scales ARE DOWN 4 POUNDS since the 19th!! WOOO HOOO!!!

Looking forward to a great day!!

Amy

We should just now be going into ketosis with Atkins. It may still even take a day or 2. I expect within the next couple of days we will start to see the pounds melt off!!!! I can't wait!!

      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.
