I'm 4 weeks post op I'm wondering how much carbs should I be staying under and how many calories should have through the day? Also, any tips on how to make the weight stall go away be at a stall now 2 weeks..

You're in the 3 week stall. There's not much you can do about it. Just ride it out and keep doing the right things.

Here's an interesting read about it....

As for calories....at your stage I would think the real goal is to get in your Protein and Water...doubtful you'll have too much room left to eat excessive calories so my thoughts would be to not try to limit yourself to an arbitrary number. You're not on a diet. But from what I've seen, 600-800 is pretty typical. And as for carbs....I always aimed for about 30% of my calories.....but only after I was hitting my minimum protein requirements. So at 600 calories that would be 45 grams of carbs...preferably green veggies and no starches.

Have you gotten advice from your program? Generally (and programs ARE different) until the 8th week you are either in pureed or soft foods, and the focus is (1) get your Water in and (2) Protein. If you have ANY (after your protein)room after your protein... then some cooked veggies or fruit. Stay away from starchy carbs for now. You will likely stay away from breads, rice, potatoes for at least 6 months.

BUT again, ptograms vary...

How many calories? It depends on your height and weight and activity. Your NUT is your best source!

Stall??? no worries... Just be (and this is hard) patient and follow your program.

Thanks right now I'm pretty much able to eat anything I'm getting most often Protein through food and 1 Protein shake a day .. I exercise 2-3 hrs a day.. But thanks for advice but my nut said my worry about it I'm losing inches and making muscle so I guess I'm losing but not on the scale..

2-3 hours a day. at only 3 weeks out? That's a lot, puts the system under a lot of stress ... plus, cardio may be good generally for your health but it isn't good for weight loss. I am a 3 year veteran and my two cents opinion is to concentrate on weight lifting/muscle building, and keep your carbs as low as possible to maximize your honeymoon phase, I'd say lower than 35grams per day.

I don't do more then 45 mins at a times plus I space out my workout through out the day I have alot of free time on my hands being out of work and all.. Thanks my surgeon said it was fine doing my workouts because I'm not lifting weights but he said try it if it hurts don't do it again for a bit.. I live in Vermont weathers changing so I'm trying to enjoy the outdoors before its too cold!!
