Share ideas, What did you eat today ?

[momnear40 1]

Ok, I need all of your help. I keep reading what everyone is writing. As far as drinks go, I don't see any but coffees and Protein Drinks. I am drinking juice (capri sun) and am wondering if that is why I haven't lost any weight since the first 20 pounds post surgery diet in March? I also eat chocolate. Probably like 1/2 a bar a day. BUT I work out three to four days per week. Cardio 45 minutes each time. I do a low carb, high Protein diet but maybe there is too much sugar in my diet so that is why the scale won't go down. I have been the same weight since March! But I feel that with the tiny amounts I am eating, plus low carb, high protein, what the heck is the band doing? How is it helping if I am supposed to do everything I used to do to lose weight before? I feel like everyone is pretty much doing Atkins, so we did we get the bands????? Help!

Momnear40, You need to go back to square one. You didn't say how much fruit juice you drink but you should drop any beverages with calories.

No drinks with sugar and yes, capri sun has tons of sugar. No chocolate. Eating any kind of sugar defeats the low carb lifestyle. And most Dr's don't recommend Atkins. There are many other foods with carbs in them that are good for you but contain complex carbs and not simple sugars like you are consuming.

The band is a tool that you should use to help you stay satiated with less food till you can drop those pounds. I'd highly recommend you see your Dr or nutritionist?
