Gastric Bypass Tweaking with Atkins
 

Hey LC Forum members. I guess you could call me a newbie with a past. A little over years ago I had gastric bypass surgery and lost over 175 lbs. by staying with a LC food plan and a serious exercise plan. I even became a licensed personal trainer.

Since then I became far less active (due to health concerns) and strayed from my eating plan. Consequently, I have gained back 40 pounds (although encouraged by doctors to gain back 10 for my goal weight). So I started the Atkins plan with the goal of losing 30 pounds.

Started induction last Monday (May 14, 2018) and during the first 3 days gained 5 pounds, although this morning the scale has gone down 3 lbs. I'm not discouraged because I've done Atkins before and lost 40 pounds. But I found your Forum and the Newbie Tips are great. Glad I joined and look forward to losing weight and gaining friends.
