Can anyone remind me of the "ideal" ratio of each to eat is? Today I tried so hard not to eat a lot of carbs. I had no starch but the fruit I ate put me to 63g of carbs. I had 86g of protein and 38g fat. I thought I did so good today and now I'm thinking my numbers are high. Any thoughts? And I swam laps for 45min

I have been wondering the same thing. I use the myfitnesspal app, so I just follow that and stay under 1200 calories. I know that since I am only a couple weeks post op, I won't get near 1200, but my nutritionist did tell me that I would be at 1200 calories a day after surgery. I assume that will be once off a restricted diet.

My best weight loss occurs when I stay at 600 - 800 calories, 20 grams or less carbs, 25 grams or less fat, 100 grams protein and 100 ounces of water.

The thing with carbs are that there are simple and complex carbs. My surgeon said that the carbs you get from fruits and vegetables in general aren't bad and shouldn't be worried about as much. so to that end I try not to sweat the carbs as long as it's not the starchy kinds.

I agree with you because I did not have any bread or starch today besides fruit and I didn't feel like I overdid it. Thanks!!

My dr told me to get to 1000 but I like to stay at 800. Wow you're good w carbs. How do you stay under 25?

This is the same plan I follow. For me, calories dont really matter as much as low carb. Good or bad carbs are all the same. I am 10 months out and can still drop 2 lbs a week if I keep my carbs low. I dont think 2 lbs is bad since I have a normal bmi. Best of luck!

Ok I'm going to really monitor what I eat and try to stay in this range. My problem is that I had the lap band before the sleeve so now my restriction is less than others so I can eat a little more and the dr said my weight loss will be slow. This is a good equation to stick to. Thanks!
