4 yrs out fighting regain! Help!

[Polishanita1 1]

Hi, my name is Anita. I am 4 yrs post op and am trying to get back on track and lose 30 pounds regain and then continue on to goal. I have forgotten what I should be eating ( proper amount of Protein, carb, fat ratios or grams per day) and some of the rules. I remember I need to not drink 30 minutes on either end of eating and just eat 3 meals a day(I think) any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advamce’

most of us are supposed to aim for at least 60 grams of Protein a day (I have to shoot for at least 100 grams because I malabsorb it, but most people are good at 60). I've never counted fats or carbs, but some people are on low-carb plans. Maybe some low-carbers can chime in with this one...

other than that, it's protein first, then non-starchy vegetables, and then if you have room, a small serving of fruit or "good" carbs (e.g., whole grains).

also, experiment with calorie ranges to see what level it's going to take to get your weight loss going again. It's going to be different for everyone, so you'll have to play around with it to find your sweet spot. Try a range for a couple of weeks, e.g., 1400-1600, and if your weight isn't starting to move in the right direction, then drop down by 100 calories (1300-1500, in this scenario) and see what happens. Rinse and repeat.
