Day 1

[sallyann]

Hello All

Today is day 1 of Induction for me and I’m really hoping for some great
success from my induction. I have not got too much to lose but I really
want to trim up and get into a better way of living and eating again. I’m
119lbs and want to get too 112lbs (not all on Induction).

A week today, I go in for surgery which will possibly make me stall
due to the antibiotics, however I’m hoping to feel a little better prior
to going in as a result of having a week of Induction behind me.

I’m sitting at work making headway on my water, I shall drink 1.5
litres prior to lunch and 1.5 after…glad I’ve got the bathroom.
close to my desk…

Started taking my ATKINS supplements (which makes me pee
bright yellow.shock at first!), I’m well stocked up with all the right
foods and I’ve read the books so much I think I can recite it.

Have a good day all, fingers crossed that we all good today.
One day at a time!

Hi.

If you are going to have surgery in 1 week, I strongly advise that you NOT begin a weight loss plan.

You are having surgery due to a medical problem according to your post. Dieting can cause a physicial stress on your body. Surgery causes a stress too because your body is being cut open and, in effect, physically violated and manipulated in a manner that nature did not intend. Your body doesn't need the added stress of a diet before, immediately after or during your surgerical recuperation. Your body needs to heal.

So I advise you to eat natural minimally processed nutrient packed foods before your surgery. Then after you have recuperated, you can begin your weight loss.

More importantly, I advise you to speak to your physician and surgeon about beginning a weight loss diet now and see what their medical opinions are.

Ask your doctor first !!!
