lavendargirl reacted to thebionicbroad in Wait...shouldn't Calories Per Day For Weight Loss Still Work The Same As Pre-Op?I am 7 weeks post-op and rarely go over 700 calories a day. 1,100 sounds like a feast. :blush5: Carbs (even "good" carbs) trigger the release of insulin, which causes the body to store fat. When insulin isn't high, the body releases glucagon, which triggers the body to burn fat. This is over-simplified, but you get the general idea.
