Lowcarbfriend

I am here coming from LowCarb.org I think that is the address anyway. We had a power outage here in Tennessee it’s ongoing, my comp is acting up or something won’t let me go to that web address. I am a very very new Low Carber. I have been on a low fat diet since 1996 all I got was an extra 100 lbs and very likely a protein deficiency and possibly a big contribution to my chronic fatigue problem. I didn’t start LCing until Jan 15th or so, I kind of slid into it by accident. I was doing research on protein deficiency symptoms and from there decided to take a lot more protein in, since I was increasing my protein calories, I decided to reduce my carb calories. I wasn’t thinking this is going to lead me to being a LCer, I just didn’t want to get even bigger from eating more and I don’t have a lot of fat grams to reduce. I hope you don’t mind being my home away from home.

I did a search and gallbladder comes up a lot but in HUGE long threads, and I did not see any threads about LC and gallbladder problems in general.

I was just diagnosed with stones and am scheduled to see a surgeon in a month to decide what to do. I have already had to eliminate my daily omelette breakfast as eggs are a big trigger for me. Even lean meats are giving me problems. I am reverting to a lot of liquids and rabbit food it seems. I am losing my appetite in general, and can only seem to get in one meal in a day.

If you or another LCer you know can recommend something that might be gallbladder friendly that I can eat until I get surgery I would appreciate it. Also, any suggestions on things to help alleviate the pain would be great.

I do not want to sabotage all my hard work over the years but at the same time I am having difficulty eating my Atkins WOE staples.

Thanks for reading,

There are times that I crave salt. It gets so bad that I will drink green Olive juice or I will get dill pickle juice, put garlic salt in it and drink it that way. Of course it’s so salty I take sips but I just need salt. Is there something wrong with me? I have always been this way but seem to be more when I am on a diet. I started Atkins Induction on Sunday (25th) and I am doing pretty good on it. It’s just this salt thing driving me crazy! Would appreciate some input on this Thanks Donna

Figured its the begining of February, its been a month since I got started and this is the point where things normally start getting harder to stick to for me.

this time I seem to be doing ok. I am feelin motivated, I cooked up my lunches for the week yesterday, stepped on the scale and lost another pound this morning. Cant complain personally.

How is everyone else feeling? Strong, ready to stay commited? Needing support?

HI all,

It’t been over a year since I have been here! To make a long story short, I joined a Medical Weight loss center last year and lost 60 pounds. Then slowly but surely, I gained back 30 pounds. So here I am starting over again. It’s amazing how terrible that 30 pounds makes me feel. The soreness in my knees when I climb down stairs is back. It feels terrible and I don’t want to gain it all back. So, I made the decision to go back on the high-protein diet at the weight loss center I initially went to. It’s hard to go back and admit you messed up. However, I did. I alone did it and admit it. So, I am hoping to also get the much needed support from all of you!

Later Days,
Marsha
