Hi Micromini,
In Dec when I saw that my eating was very similar to Atkins I started on my own and a month later I saw my doc and she said fine. Since surgery I dumped big time on sweets and fats so I didnt think Atkins would work but I found out that the dumping came from the sweets/breads AND fats. Broccoli swimming in butter has no effect on me, but a tiny piece of cake with frosting doubles me over in pain and crying "why did I eat that". Now if I am on Atkins and I have that cake I wish I were dead. The dumping is 2x worse. So something tells me to stay away.

Abut the tummy, I think I will skip that but I would like the saddlebags under my arms done. I still have about 55 to go so I wouldnt even consider it till I am stable about a year.

Beth
