Good Morning Melva- great question. 

ww- has ice cream??  I never knew that- I lovvvvvveeeeeee  I cream- it is my biggest craving... I guess I will be going to the grocery store after work.

You are doing great with the carbs- but to answer your question- yes, I would be careful of the amount of sugar you are taking in.  I don't know what kind of wls you had- but it may cause you to 'dump'.  Not only should you keep an eye on sugar, but also sugar alcohol.  Remember- sugar is evil- lol- well- that's my story and I'm sticking with it.

HI Melva,
Well a friend of mine and I agree that when we start with the bars we stop with the weight loss, so I would be very careful! How much weight have you lost?? WHat are you eating??? Give me some ideas!!
Talk to you soon,

I lost 11 pounds when I first started. now an additional pound. I think your right about the bars No more until  am ready for the maintennce.  I wake in morning with wter hwn protein  hi protein meals I dra total of 4 protein drinks per day.

I use the Atkins method of carb counting which excludes sugar alcohols.   Some people include them in carb counting. 

For me, the alcohols do not make a difference.  Others find that sugar alcohols act metabolically like sugar.   

I only use Atkins protein bars because of the low net carbs. I stick to those products with protein and avoid the Endulge line which is basically low carb candy.     I like them but I want some protein for my calories. 

Thanx
