hmmmm i dont think i have been on any thing else.... i know after having my son (c-section) i was on loritab (sp) and i cant think of anything else i have been on

yes i will try and write down what i eat and calories and what not...

the doctor said he wanted me to eliminate as much carbs as i can and eat more protein i know he said something about the atkins diet

First of all welcome new person! Last time I checked, a lot of people I know put on weight from birth control, including Depo. What type of birth control pill were you taking? Most likely both of those contributed to some of your weight gain.

You don't want to elminate as much carbs as you can (not to 0), but you do want to keep it low and focus more on high protein. Check out the atkins diet recipes we have here, there are tons! Good luck!
