How many grams of Carbs are you eating? 1 month post-op



Recommended Posts

I'm keeping track of my calories/protein/water on MFP and don't need help with those, but I'm not sure what to set my carb limit as? I'm 1 month out and have been released by my doctor to have all foods. He doesn't have very extensive or strict guidelines so I'm wondering what's everyone else's average carb intake? Right now, my carbs are usually between 70-80 grams per day.

I was told to keep my carbs under half of what my Protein goal is. So if my protein goal is 70-90 then my carb goal would be 35-45

I didn't get the half Protein guideline but that is where I have been falling. Good advice.

My doc/nutritionalist have me under tight reigns for carbs. I think it's because I'm so high bmi wise. 15 carbs and aim for 80-100 Protein per day.

For me that means all those >1 carb pretty much add up to my carb intake. Sometimes I pick a smaller portion of something that falls into the 15g per serving range to get variety, like yogurt or Beans.

15 carbs is really good. You will have success by keeping your carbs at this level for 5-6 months.

      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!
