I had some surgery a couple of months ago, and I had been on Atkins for a month at the time, and I was very concerned about backtracking when I was recouperating. I lost another 4 pounds!!!


I did a lot of research before hand and had a lot of ideas on what to eat. One great thing for me then was unsweetened soy milk, which I doctored up with splenda and vanilla or other flavorings. It is very high in fiber, and really gave me a full feeling. You can drink it hot or cold.

I also had a lot of soup, especially a delicious cream of spinach.

Since I wasn't moving, I was very concerned about staying low calorie, and it turned out well. You can make this work to your advantage!!!
