I keep it below 50, (almost all my carbs come from fruit and veg, I rarely eat any bread or potato) but keep in mind it depends on the amount of calories and exercise you are doing. I think the best way would be to figure out the percentage of your total intake that should be carbs, sugars and Protein. I am not sure what that should be, but it makes more sense then a random number that does not take into consideration the amount of calories etc that you are intaking.

I am having trouble because it seems that's all I want. Mostly bread.

Jut wondering what have you all tried to get over it.

Assuming you're newly post op - it gets better once you get it out if your system, 2-3 weeks. I still miss it but it's not maddening

Starch carbs sit in my pouch like a rock. Lol!

Me too and I'll be a year post-op tomorrow. I used to love bread and now I have trouble eating half a slice. Just one more great benefit of this surgery!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
