At one month...how many calories and carbs should you be eating a day. I know I am supposed to get between 50-60 grams of Protein.< /p>

I don't worry about carbs at all and I don't pay much attention to calories either. I make sure I get in 70g or Protein per day and 64 oz of Water. For me, that's enough to worry about. :)

If you avoid the carbs you'll lose way more, thats what I've done from the beginning As for Protein, you should be doing a min of 70 g and the other post is correct about doing 64 oz of Water

I try to stay under 40 grams of carbs right now I'm only 7 weeks out though. I basically get about 20 grams of carbs right now and I'm at about 60-65 grams of Protein, I am definitely trying to up my protein, but I can only get about 2 ounces of food in me at a time still.

I try to stay at 60. I did 40 but felt like poop! Its just finding what works for you and your body. My NUT says I should be at 90-100 and I laugh at her. No way.

Hi,

I can only speak from my experience, and what Dr. Aceves wanted me to do. I did not have more than 800 calories per day and watch the carbs--NO more than 20 to 25 carbs per day. Read ALL labels, you might be surprise of the things that have carbs in them--like Milk.

I hope that will help, but check with the doctor that did your surgery.

Hugs,

Suzanne

Really depends on you and your activity level. You need natural carbs from legumes and low gi veggies, you should avoid highly processed carbs in breads and such like.

At once month I was told not to worry about calories. The most important thing is your Protein and 48-64 ounces of liquids.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
