How Many Carbs In A Day?



Recommended Posts

So when I asked my dietician how many carbs I should be consuming in a day, I never got a straight answer. They have definite guidelines for Protein, but not carbohydrates. So my question to my fellow RNYers: How many carbs do you average per day?

I was told 80-100 per day by my nut.

I'm typically around 30 carbs per day. Lately I've thrown caution to the wind though and have been eating sugar. Unfortunately I don't dump and sugar is so tempting. I have an appt tomorrow with my nut so I'm going to ask her how many carbs I should be having a day. I need to get back on track and not eat sugar anymore. It's my kryptonite.

Also, those are supposed to be good complex carbs, not crap carbs (ya know the tasty ones).

I was told 50 to 80 complex (good) carbs a day and gradually increase after your first year to max of 130 depending your body's sweet spot, activity etc..

      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'. ???

        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.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
