Ok so I'm not on real food yet but day dreaming lol and preparing ... My dr and Nut gave me food guidelines but never how many carbs/ sugars to keep it under .... Any suggestions I know what I did when I dieted and it was under 30 grams . Just curios what I all do.

Glad you asked this question. I was going to ask the same thing... hope we get an answer.

I would really like to know also as many people say they hit around 30-40. But I am constantly hitting around 50 carbs. Is this to high?

Are you losing weight at 50 carbs?

I am curious as to what calories people are at to lose weight regularly?

I'm 5 weeks post-op. I average around 50 carbs/day. Some are as low as 28 and one was as high as 68. But typically around 50. I've been on a pureed diet for the past 2 weeks. It's amazing where those carbs hide! 18 carbs in a Tbs of honey...... Never would have looked at that before. I have a cold and enjoy lemon tea with honey. Not going to give up the honey but I'm only using about 1 tsp/mug instead of my normal 1 Tbs. It's all about compromise and deciding what we can live with.

My NUT has me under 20 carbs because i'm very sensitive to sugar. The upside is I can have unlimited calories & fats.

I just found some notes I took that say average 15 carbs/serving & 2 servings/meal. That would be 30 carbs/meal which seems high. I have a NUT class on Thurs - I'm going to ask for clarification now for sure. I'll share what I find out.

When all there is are carbs fats and proteins and the protein is half of total ... The other two make up the other half no? Keeping fats to a minimum means the rest will be carbs especially if you need fiber!! The trick is to get good carbs like fruit and veggies not sugar:-) so yes.... 40-60 is fine!!!

All though I have not had my sleeve yet the post-op info that I have say 55% protien,30%carbs, 10-15%fats per calorie load, so I guess you have to calculate that with the amt of calories you take in.

I get around 10-20 carb a day because I focus on eating as clean and pure protein as possible. This is probably different from most folks who are post-op more then 1 month. I will be correcting the ratios as I get closer the end of weight loss.

My NUT said I can start on beans and veggies today. I went to grocery store to get beans and they are loaded with carbs but I won't be eating a lot. Are any of y'all eating beans and what type of beans are you eating?

I've had fat-free refried beans a couple of times. Added 2 Tbs salsa, a bit of grated low-fat cheddar and a small dallop of low-fat sour cream. It's a nice treat, but because of the carbs, I won't indulge very often.

I stick to 20-30 grams of carbs per day. I think this is a fairly common number for those of us who are carb conscious. I think this is a key to my success, but there are differing opinions for sure.

My nut said not to focus on carbs as long as they are healthy carbs. I eat a lot of bean soup and broccoli cheddar which are high carb and am losing.

Thanks guys great responses! I'm gonna stick to low good carbs just wanted a benchmark !

Also I can NOT figure out how to get my pic on profile I don't see it under settings!
