Hey guys

How can I up my carbs at this point? I am 5 1/2 weeks post op and not allowed breads or pastas at this point. I am gettin about 20 gms of Protein a day...and my weight had stalled for 3 weeks. Is there a way for me to drink my carbs but still stay low on sugar? Plz help. I'm in the soft foods stage

How about dairy products? Cheese, yogurt and the like... Do you like hummus?

I love hummus! And I have been drinking 1 glass of milk a day. Maybe I will increase that. Not a big fan of yogurt but maybe some mixed with fruit will give me carbs. And I love cheese!! Have been having that daily. I'm getting 600 calories a day on average.

You are not getting in nearly enough protein: you should be getting 60-80 grams a day. Don't worry so much about carbs, you should be concerned about upping your protein. Fish, seafood, chicken, yougurt, cottage cheese, cheese, soft meats.

Omg I just realized what I said! I meant to say 20gms of carbs not protein. I get 60+ of protein A day. Sorry for the confusion

with your saying you had 20 g of protein and 60 g of carbs - oh no

I think you had a brain fart

this is possibly a new side effect from WLS that research hasn't shown yet

trying to be serious now....

5 1/2 weeks PO

60 g protein

not enough carbs?????

at this early point, i wouldn't worry about "lack" of carbs

you need carbs to live/energy and stuff

don't think i've heard of anyone complaining/ questioning too few carbs?

you want more carbs- add a Protein Bar - they have 22g - chocked full of protein too
