Hi Kathleen I just start three days ago on Atkins and my first day here. I love this website! I was not weighing and have eaten way too many carbs in mostly veggies. Anyway, what I wanted to say to you is I have the same problem with constipation plus I am swelling a lot. The doctor said the constipation is helping to cause the swelling. He recommended taking Miralax. I am taking stool softeners (3) and started last night. No luck so far; I will try again tonight and take more. I am sure you are right if you could eliminate you would probably lose at least a #, maybe more. I have also read in the Atkins forum that psyllium husk and flax seed or meal are excellent for constipation. I would love to buddy up with you. Maybe we can motivate each other. Looking forward to hearing from you. Linda
