How Many Carbs And Calories



Recommended Posts

Ok.. Here goes I was banded in Nov 2011. My weight loss has stalled. I recently doubled my injury Protein Shakes to 2 a day and have started to lose again... FINALLY. My doc who did my surgery and the doc I am seeing now in another state have different thoughts on the amy of carbs and calories I should have daily. Please share with me your daily calorie/carb consumption. Help needed.

I eat between 1000-1200 calories a day. I eat at least 60g grams of Protein, no more than 125g of carbs, and no more than 20% fat. I don't buy white rice, bread or Pasta. Only whole grain and brown rice, and if the label says "bleached" or "enriched" I don't buy it.

For me, this is the formula that works. Everyone is different so we all have to find what works best for us.

Sure!

Breakfast: powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chocolate Splendor shake (I have one every morning)

Lunch: tuna with fat free mayo on 1 slice of toasted whole grain bread, 1 piece of melted low fat cheese on top

Dinner: 1/2 a skinless, boneless chicken breast, usually marinaded. 1/4c of mashed potatoes, 1/4c of green Beans

If I do need a snack, I'll have a 1/4 cup of low fat cottage cheese, a wedge of light babybel cheese, or a sugar free pudding.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
