How many carbs on full liquid diet?

[cali1212 2]

I am 11 days post op and am wondering if we are supposed to be counting carbs during this period? Today I had 525 calories but 100 carbs (mostly due to popsicles as I can't stand no sugar Popsicles and am basically living on Edys fruit bars). Plus the cream Soups. So are we supposed to Be under 50 grams right now?? I just don't see how I can get calories in and be under 50 grams. I am getting 50-60 grams of Protein as well. Thanks!!

I don't think it is quite as important as you adjust but it can keep you craving carbs! Have you actually tried the Edy's sugar free? I normally do not like sugar free anything but the Edy's are delish!

I would cut back on those if you can't deal with sugar free- you wont start the true losing process while you are stoking the fires with carbs. Good on getting the Protein though!

im on the full liquid stage too and almost 1month out... my nutrionist says at this point we are eating too little to worry about carbs/sugar etc....... but 100g of carbs seem like a lot.. i cant even seem to hit 30 grams of carbs with what im eating. I would cut out the popsicles if i were you

You really should not worry about Protein, carbs or calories until you are able to eat solid foods! Don't OBSESS!!

Just focus on staying hydrated. You will be fine!
