Ow many carbs a day is considered low carbs? I'm afraid I may be eating too many.

I have been told approx. 40g per day is a good number for "low" carbs .

Depends on the type of carb. Sugar carb vs other carb. I personally have been doing a zero sugar diet and its increased my weight loss tremendously (90 pounds in just over 3 months). This is essentially an Atkins diet. No bread, no fried foods, no soda, no sweets. Lots of lean meats steak, chicken, fish. I do all this with a max of 1000 cals a day with working out at least twice a week with a trainer at the gym

Carbs should come from low-starch veg and a few berries. Sounds to me like you are rocking.

      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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
