My surgeon's nutritionist started me on Atkins induction 16 days ago, and I've lost 18 lbs. so far. July 3rd I will start doing 4 protein shakes a day, along with salads twice a day until the 9th, whichwill be liquid only. I am hoping to lose about 30 by my surgery date.
I think my strongest motivator is to shrink my stomach in the hope that my band will be better fitted from the start, so that I will have optimum restriction right away. Hopefully. :)
