My Nut. Booklet they gave me only states guidelines specific for sugar. To keep it under 5 gms per meal. But it only states to not eat anything too high in fat to avoid dumping. I'm just wondering if anyone else who has had the RNY where given a more specific number of fat grams to have? What's considered low fat for us?

I've always wondered about this too but no one never knows the answer. I guess it's trial an error.

I was told anything under 5 gms of fat is considered low fat!

How many calories are we suppose to have?

I was told by my surgeon that they can give general guidelines, but everyone is different, and thats where we just hv to learn to understand our new bodies. No rule book of one rule for all, (with regard to dumping limits).

my Dr. says that I should have between 800 to 1000 calories a day...

I was told 600-800

Sorry I'm off topic here, but I need some serious help. I'm taking Bariatric Fusion chewable vitamins and they are awful. I don't have to take additional calcium with it, but boy, they are awful. Suggestions, anyone?

I bought Bariatric Advantage and they have chewable Vitamins, Iron, calcium, b12 etc, in different flavours. And they are yummy. only thing I found is don't eat the lemon lime iron, with the multi vit blackcurrant. Not a good combo.

The calcium comes in either high dose tablets that Taste like drinking chocolate, or caramel etc favored chews. My new legal treats that are good for me.
