Do I look at sugar carbs or total carbs? Only had 3 to see if I liked them and
these numbers are for 22 pieces. Any thoughts?

Congrats on your success so far! Keep up the great work!

At 222 pounds I'm the lightest I've been since 1984!  Down 86 pounds in 10 months and now off insulin!!!

Diabetic marzipan bar
1 coffee with cream
2 Atkins bars
4 ozs cheese
4 ozs lamb
4 ozs belly pork
4 ozs all-meat sausages
Fruit tea bags and water.

Congrats Paul

Thanks for that!  It's been a rocky road, but the weight has always gone down.  Atkins should help me keep going... 

Being off all insulin is a great accomplishment.  You've done great!  We must have surgery dates close together.  I'm Feb 17th

Mine was the 22nd.  I wanted the RnY, but my anatomy wouldn't support it, hence the vsg.  The journey has been slower, but the diabetes should continue to improve as the weight comes off!  You seem to have done really well, I have another 20 pounds to lose to get to target.  Lol 

Paul, I think/hope that going very low carb will help with the last 20.  Men always lose faster, so I may get very jealous of you one of these days!  :)

Congrats Paul! Way to Go!!!
