Have to do a 50 Carbs per day dier



Recommended Posts

I was told that I had to lose 25lbs before they do surgery. So I for up today and made a smoothie. I had

Protein Powder

Benefiber

1/2 c 2% milk

1c broccoli

1/4c cherries

1Tbsp flaxseed

And even though it only had 299 calories, it had 28-32 Carbs(I logged in on both sparkpeople & myfitnesspal which gave me different carb readings)

I mean Dang! I'm over half in the first smoothie. I do have some Syntrax Nectars which don't have any Carbs so I'm going to put them in my day and see how it holds me.

I have to get these 25lbs off by Dec. 1st....the lastest so I can get a date before the end of the end.

I know its going to be tough but I can do it!

omit the fruit and the milk to reduce carbs and use only low carb Protein powder as some are very high in carbs.

Don't forget to subtract the indigestible carbs in the flaxseed. And I would switch over to one of the low carb premade shakes from Premier Protein or EAS carb control. They are pretty cheap at $1.25 to $1.75 each. at Sams Club or Wal-Mart.

When I was doing the low-carb diet, I pretty much only ate beef, chicken, eggs, and cheese. It is way too easy over do it on the carbs eating anything else.

My pre-op diet was 40 grams of carbs or less. I loved it! eggs, cottage cheese, low-fat cheese, meat, fish, chicken. If I got hungry I just had another piece of something. I wouldn't want to do without fruit, etc., forever, but it was sure a quick, painless way to lose short term. I lost 19 pounds in 3 weeks. Best of luck to you!

eggs fish, and low to no carb Protein Drinks. My pre op diet was a Meal Replacement Protein Shake for Breakfast and lunch, and then I ate 3-4oz. tilapia fillets for dinner. Did this for 10 days, lost 12lbs. Drink Water in between meals to reduce cravings and hunger. Also drinking ice water burns more calories then room temp water.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.
