I am going 2morrow for my weigh in 1st in a month. Lil bit nervous. I hv really tried my best if anything i hv gone over that 10 or so grams. Before surgery if i ate Any carbs at all i wld just blow up. I had just saw Sugar free pudding had 14 grams, been eating those for awhile with no vlue. So i feel stupid i let that by me, and how much i hv lost. Do any of you guys and girls hover over 30 or more and still eat like we eat as far as tiny meals throughout the day with 60-80grams of protein. The rest of my diet is meat and lil bit if veges and popsicles! Any guidance wld be awesome!

I try to eat only healthy carbs but I definitely eat more than 40grams per day.

I ate less than 20 carbs a day for the first 5 months post op. It is hard to do because you can't eat much fruits and vegetables. My carb intake increased to 60 after 5 months and I still kept losing weight. I was certain that I had to keep my carb intake dramatically low (there were many weeks I ate less than 10 carbs a day) in order to lose weight. Apparently, that is not necessarily true. Or, maybe my metabolism is functioning differently now so that I can handle an increase in carbs and still lose weight. I'm just not certain.

You may try increasing your carb intake and see if it has any effect on your weight loss. I'm sure you know that the carbs that come from sugar and starches are a bad idea. It's best to get your carbs from fruits and vegetables. Be aware that the carb count from fruits and vegetables varies quite a bit. For example, cauliflower has much fewer carbs than peas or corn. Foods like bananas, cranberries, carrots, potatoes, apple juice, orange juice, bagels, bread, dry Cereal, popcorn, rice, lima Beans, ketchup, Pasta, and raisins have a very high carb count. The book, "The Zone" is a great resource to have when counting daily carbs. It explains the glycemic index of carbohydrates in a variety of foods.

Oh really and how is your weightloss been if you dont mind me asking, how has your loss been sweetie. I know the more meat im eating now in meat is causing higher calories for now. Have a blessed day!
