Hi!
Okay, so when I started this (under a Dr.'s orders) I was skeptical. I mean, how in the devil is this supposed to work? I don't really know, cause I haven't read the entire Atkin's book. What I do know is that I went back to the Dr. yesterday, and when I got on the scale it said 337. Wow! It IS the SAME scale that I have weighed in on for over 6 months, so I know it isn't lying. I am elated and in shock! I started taking the Flax seed oil this week too, along with a multi vitamin and some fiber. (The same Dr.Atkins says to use in the book) I include the carbs from that into my counting! I am amazed and in disbelief....well not really disbelief. I wore jeans 2 sizes smaller than usual yesterday. I saw them in the closet, remembered not being able to wear them, and said, "here goes nothing." Well, they not only fit, but fit with no tugging! Rah! Rah! So, I am very pleased. My PCP is ecstatic, and said my surgeon will love my compliance. Yea! With my birthday tomorrow, I know I will not miss the cake or ice cream! I will eat my semi-frozen pumpkin and cream cheese stuff and smile! With a 19 pound weight loss, it is hard to not be compliant. In fact, it is hard to not be ecstatic to follow the Induction phase to the letter of the law! I am thrilled. It is one more step in the right direction for me to flatten my liver, so that I can have the surgery. Life is good!
