Atkin bars?

Depends on how big your pouch was to start and your own anatomy. I started out with a 4 oz pouch from surgery and had a 6 oz pouch a month or so ago. I also read an article recently - I think it was on thinnerself.com where it was explained that the pouch doesn't stretch but that it actually grows. So if that is the case, your pouch growing would be about as controllable as growing your hair. Dina

Cheri, If I ate an atkins bar I would be dumping sooo bad. The sugar alcohols in the atkins bars are very high. I bought one yesterday and forgot to check the sugar alcohols and it was 15g!!!! I ended up throwing it out. I dump worse from sugar alcohols than normal sugar. As for eating I can eat alot of some things not much of others. It depends on the consistency of the food. Soup 1 1/2 cups and chicken a few bites then I have to wait... then a couple of bites later and such. Carbs go down to easy... such as potato chips and such so I try to stay away from them. They dont make me sick and I can eat alot of them so I have to be careful. Best of luck to you Elizabeth M
