Can anyone tell me how much sugar your getting a day? I’m 1 year post op today and I feel like I’m getting too much sugar but not sure what the intake amount should be. Also Protein intake and carbs? Thanks

Hi,

Here are snapshots of 2 days for me. A regular day and a menstrual cycle prep day (I need to eat more)

My sugar content comes almost entirely from fruit and vegetables. No added sugars.

( BTW I'm lazy so I load all my meals under breakfast)

I was going to ask about the app too. I use Baritastic and it looks similar, but how long have you been able to eat fruit?

I don't keep track of sugar, but my app, the MyPlate app, tracks my fat, carbs and Protein. I shoot for 100-110g of protein a day, and I shoot for 40g or less carbs per day, but occasionally, I let myself eat more.

Since the pureed stage.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
