net is the carb minus the Fiber

You're welcome Apples.

Thanks for that web site Angelica! I checked it out and I book marked it.

There is a lot of good info there. I can't believe I have been doing Atkins off and on since I was about 13 yrs old. I could never stick with it permanently though. The band helps so much with that.

bread is just too much trouble to eat.

Hi everyone. Low carb also works for me. To get the Net Carbs you subtract the Fiber and the sugar alcohols. Always read the labels on everything that you put in your mouth. I have lost 47 pounds since Oct. 26 2007 but I want to lose faster. I think the low carb will help that out. I also need to have a set time to eat my three meals. I usually have a Protein Drink in the AM because food doesn't sit well before 10 AM. After that it has been hit or miss as to eating so I need to get on a schedule. I would like to keep looking in until I am able to share a Breakfast lunch and dinner menu with all of you. This is a cool thread. Thanks :wink2:

I'm not banded yet so I have been just kind of counting calories since the end of Nov. I have been at a standstill the last couple of weeks and was happy to see this thread the other day. I need a new motivation. Low carbs had worked for me b/4 and I plan on (hopefully) sticking to this plan until I start my pre-op liquids. I have to admit that I have never been a big label reader. I have started the last few months though. Thanks for answering my question.....Thanks to you LJM, also

no snacking today!! I am so seriously sore from working out & I hurt my knee doing lunges yesterday so I planned on taking the day off from going to the gym but then I felt guilty sitting here watching TV @ 8:30 this am & got off my butt & went to the gym & did stationary bike, (5mins was all my knee could handle) & a whole bunch of upper body & abs. I am so proud of myself! I am down 8lbs in 12 days.

Ok - I have seriously tightened up again.

The only thing that I've managed to keep in my stomach for more than 10 minutes was a couple of bites of eggs for Breakfast along with a few bites of grits; and a Peanut Butter cookie around 8:00pm.

Looks like I need to do liquids for a couple of days and then come back to the LC way :embaressed_smile:
