Atkin's Diet begins today!!

By Prima5

· 406 views

I started the Atkin's Diet today in preparation for my surgery on November 19th. I'm hoping I can last on this diet until then!! LOL Without carbs and just protein with some veggies, it's going to be a rough road for 2 weeks. If I can just last, I'll get the lapband and won't have to worry about being hungry all the time. Right now, I'm starving and I've already had breakfast and lunch! Any suggestions on what I can eat on Atkins without ruining my carb count? I can't have more than 20 grams of carbs per day. :cursing:

    I about wanted to commit food homicide today because I run a luncheon and I couldn't eat!! :) People kept trying to make me eat and I had to keep explaining that I'm on the Atikin's Diet. When that wasn't enough, I said I'm getting banded next week and then their reaction was actually that of excitement! LOL At least they understood.

    I appreciate the suggestions. I actually have a can of tuna in my purse with a fork and napkin, just in case!! :)
