HELP! Ive been doing Atkins about 2 months. I had Gast. Bypass surgery 2 years ago. Believe it or not even with this surgery you DO NOT lose all the weight you want. They only guarantee 40%. I lost from 278 to 161 and started Atkins at 161. Two months later I stay between 141-143. I have tried Fat fast, protein shakes, upping carbs, lowering carbs, increase exercise, increase water (yuk) and NADA!. I do my Gazelle 30 min a day, drink 10 8oz glasses of water daily, 20 -25 carbs is my max. Somedays I cannot reach 20 carbs. I cannot eat a whole lot of salad, or Veggies. I have to be careful because of my surgery. Tried spinich last night, did not stay down because it is so stringy and mushy it sticks to the pouch and makes me sick. HOW ON EARTH DO I BREAK THIS! I even thought about switching to a low calorie diet but I've done so well on this. Since I started using the Keto protein shakes it seems my weight stopped. BUT I also cant seem to get enough carbs on some days. Any bread I eat is purchased at health food store 5.99 a loaf and has 2.35 carbs (max one slice a day if that) Anyone got any suggestions? I might mention I also have problems digesting meat so I have to be careful what I eat. I usually eat my chicken or meat on a salad like a taco salad or grilled chicken green salad. Im about to give up!
Thanks,,,,
