Hey all!! Just wondering if you guys are eating carbs and if so how many per day?

Absolutely - I couldn't afford the side effects that can accompany the low carb diets. These days in maintenance it is usually in the 150-200 g range (on a 2000-ish calorie diet) while when losing it usually wound up in the 70-120 g range (though I had/have no particular goals for it; it is what it is when everything else balances out nutritionally; same for fats.)

I’ve only been eating around 5 to 10g of carbs a day. I think it’s why I keep stalling. I’m 8 weeks post op.

Honestly, I find that doing some form of a carb up every few weeks breaks a stall.

I actually had a 2 bites of a chicken soft shell taco last night and 2 bites of refried beans at a Mexican place for my daughters bday. Her pick. It was first time that I had eaten out since surgery. I tried the shell to see if I could tolerate and I did fine. Today my stall broke. Been stalled for 7 days. So I think there’s truth in that statement!!

My usual is 30-50 carbs a day. I will say the few times I’ve gone up to 70 carbs my “stalls” have broken too. But I’m happy at 30-50 most days since I still need to get 60g protein before that.

Usually 30-50 here— but not intentionally tracking carbs but it’s in my journal app. Happens to be aligned with the protein meals Im eating

I’m 5 weeks post sleeve and my nutritionist has me doing 75-100/day.

Seems to be around 60-100. I asked my nutritionist if I should be tracking my carbs. They said not really. Just eat them in moderation.
