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

When u guys weigh how long do you wait before you weigh like after getting up in the morning?

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...

Oh good ole constipation!!! Has been my not so nice friend since being banded well after the post op diet...I would feel so much better if I go go normally!!

[Oregondaisy 2,019]

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!!

Well guys, I lost 3lbs! I am thrilled. I will take a couple days off and then do two days again. Glad to see you guys hanging in there. I love this thread!!

"Weight" to go ladies!!!! I am down 3 lbs as of today.... Walked 2 miles on the beach yesterday. It's been tough though...Don't beat yourself up if you fall off, just hop back on with us, we are still here...

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!!
