Can someone please let me know what the maximum recommended daily amount of carb intake is after VSG surgery?

Hello and welcome to VST!

I've heard many different things. My doctor didn't recommend anything special. I'm eating low carb, trying to keep the food under 30 grams a day. Here are the Cornell recommendations.

Weeks 0-2: Total Cal: 400-600 Total Carbs: <40 Total Protein: 70

Weeks 3 - 3 months (Soft Foods): Total Cal: 600-800 Total Carbs: <40 Total Protein: 70 - 90

3 - 12 months (Regular Food): Tota Cal: <800 Total Carbs: <40 Total Protein: 70 - 90

After Reaching Goal (Regular Food): Tota Cal: 1000 - 1200 Total Carbs: 40 - 60 Total Protein: 70 - 90

Every program is different, but my surgeon recommended less than 30grams of carbs a day, a minimum of 60grams of Protein and 64ounces of clear fluids.

I didn't count net carbs vs. regular carbs, a carb was a carb to me during my losing phase.

On my 1 month pre-op diet (modified Atkins) I tried to keep my carbs below 30 grams per day on the recommendation of my nutritionist. I lost 16 pounds that month. The first 3 months post-op I continued to keep it at 30 or under. I now eat between 30-100 per day and am able to maintain, but know I can go back to low carb if I see a gain.
