So my NUT has not returned my calls or emails for 2 days and i just started my preop diet...prior to this i had no idea about the net carbs vs regular carbs phenomenom...all i want to know is do i count net carbs or regular carbs...it seems like different people had different opinions as i browsed verticalsleeve.com but no one had a response that was medically sound (like my doctor said to do this or not to do this because...) Can anyone help me since my NUT seems to be on vacation? Can i count Net carbs...why or why not? Thank u!! You're all so amazing and your words are beyond inspirational!

I don't know much about the carb issue...so sorry! I hope your NUT calls you soon. My NUT told me not to take advice from these forums because they are often wrong. LOL I couldn't make it without this forum!

Total carbs include fibre which is not digested in your system. Net carbs is total carbs minus the fibre carbs. Some believe a carb is a carb is a carb and others follow the belief that if its not digested or have a caloric count then it should not be counted.

Bottome line is you will have to make your mind up on which you want to follow.

What type of pre op diet are you on? How many carbs are you suppose to have a day? Are you using an Internet site to track to diet?

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
