How Many Fat Grams Should Your Day Consist Of?



Recommended Posts

Was wondering what amount of fat grams should your daily intake be?

My surgeon and NUT recommended about 10-15% of calories should come from fat. I'm typically around 600 cals (I'm 7.5 wks out) so I'm usually aiming for 10-15g daily. But, frankly, I'm more focused on Protein (80+ grams) and carbs (under 30g). I dot stress as much when/if I go over fat as long as it's not crazy.

This is probably one of those things that differs from NUT to NUT, but I believe I was told no more than 25g/day. I rarely hit that.

My nut said no more than 30 grams if fat, 30-60 grams of crabs, 60+ grams of Protein. I'm abel to stay within all the guidelines except 64 oz of Water a day. I struggle with that one.

Only 25-30 grams of fat per day :( I eat more than that just at Breakfast. Will have to try harder. Haven't got to trying only 3-ounce portions at each meal yet.

      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.

      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!
