Even though I'm pre-op, I found this study interesting and relevant to us all as we hope to keep lower levels of Ghrelin and increased energy metabolism.

Thanks for sharing this. My instructions are five years old. My dietician kept my carbs low. It worked well for me. Hope you get a date soon.

I was low carb coming into the WLS program. I believe it really helped me lose and also helped control my PCOS. It also kept me full longer. Post op, my RD/nor doctor gave me instructions about carb consumption--only about protein reqs. They also gave me samples of the diets for each phase. I made the decision to continue with my low carb plan. Very low fat keto--more like the Dukan diet.

It's helped me get to goal with very little hunger respectively.

My surgery is set for January 6th in Mexico, and I'm doing a low carb pre-op diet with very good success (down almost 25 pounds). I consider myself on the "learning bench" right now, until I take my place on the losing one. Congratulations on your success!

How many grams/day is considered low carb for us?

How many grams/day is considered low carb for us?

I am 4 weeks post up. My nutritionist finally told me my diet should be 25% or less carbs, 25-30% fats, and the rest lean proteins. This is based on overall diet portions. How many grams depends on how many calories you are supposed to eat. There are calculators online to figure that out.
