Starting Atkins induction Diet Anyone want to join me????



Recommended Posts

Okay, I'm going to plan on starting induction again Friday. I really wasn't prepared the first time around, I had already bought groceries and didn't buy enough low carb stuff. We live on one income and I can't really buy groceries again until payday, which is Friday. So, this time I'll buy enough low carb groceries.

Okay, do you guys think dry roasted edamame would be okay to eat? They seems to be pretty low carb and high in Protein. Here the nutritional information Seapoint Farms dry roasted edamame is a perfectly roasted and lightly salted green soybean.: SnackAisle.com -- Your Online Source for All Natural Snacks

I'm so glad you are hanging with it!! If I can muster up the willpower I will do a third week so that you are not doing week 2 alone.

As far as the edamame, I am so not good at counting carbs, so I am not a good person to ask. I have never had edamame, but it looks like something I would love to try.

Edamame is soooo good. I've never had it dry roasted before, but I've heard people rave about how good it is, so I think I might give it a try. I usually count by net carbs, so I think it might be okay. I'm also going to get some lump crab meat. It is expensive, but I want to start trying different things so I don't get bored with my food. I've had crab in salads before and I really liked it.

Thanks Renewedhope for saying you would stay on this longer for me, but you don't have to. I found some tuna in my pantry, so I actually was able to start today. So far, I've had a low carb slim fast and a small can of tuna with some mayo. I'll be able to find something for dinner that's low carb. I'll probably be eating tuna until Friday, lol:lol:.

losing, I'm with you. I would really like to stick with Atkins after the induction. In the past I have found that when I get off of the induction part I can't stay on the plan. It's like I can't handle too much freedom. I know that is pitiful. This time I would really like to follow the diet from now on. I know it is works well for me.

losingjusme, a free day once a week is a great idea!

So, this is what I had today:

B'fast- low carb slim fast

Lunch- small can of tuna with mayo

Snack- hunk of muenster cheese

Dinner- soy burger patty with mayo and cheese

I'll probably have a cup of chai tea before I go to bed.

A break one day a week sounds great to me too. I probably won't start that until after the induction phase, but that will really help to keep on it long term.

Today I ate the following

B - Atkins shake

Today I ate the following

B - Atkins shake

L - tuna with egg, mayo, and onion

S - 1 chicken strip with the breading removed

D - topping off of 2 pieces of homemade pizza (venison, cheese, very,very little pizza sauce)

I ate a little more processed food than I like today, but we went to piano lessons and I was so hungry, so a chicken strip was the best choice I could muster up!!

BTW, My kiddos are much better today!!!

Hope everyone is doing well! I had an off day today, don't know if it's the stress I've been under or what but I couldn't get much to stay down today. Went to a restaurant for the first time in quite awhile and ended up making a run for the bathroom after attempting to eat an omlette ... up it came! Then earlier this evening I purchased a roasted chicken at the grocery store and tried having some for dinner, it also did an immediate u-turn.

I did manage to find those Atkins shakes today, I tried the Caramel Latte and it is GOOD! Also bought the Mocha, will try it tomorrow ... hopefully tomorrow is a better day :frown:

Renewed, you look wonderful!!!

Ok guys, I came up with a new tuna recipe. I'm eating it as we speak. I posted it in the recipe forum but I thought I would share it with you all. I'm trying to get some variety in my tuna and this recipe reminds me of Tuna Helper without the noodles. It's nothing fancy, but it adds a little variety to it.

Cheesy Tuna

Ingredients:

1 small can of tuna in Water, drained well

1 Tbsp. sour cream

2 Tbsp. milk

1/4 cup shredded cheese (whatever kind you prefer)

Put milk, sour cream, and shredded cheese in a small microwavable bowl and microwave for about 1 to 1&1/2 minutes. Stir until creamy. If it's too thick add a splash more milk, if it's too thin add a little more cheese. Mix in tuna well and enjoy!

You could also add some dry seasonings or spices to it if you want, but I like it plain.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
