So, how many carbs should you be getting a day? I seen it all over the place. I was told not more than 30 per meal, but that is almost 100 per day!! That sounds like a lot!! 90 g of Protein per day, and 64 oz of Water every day. I was sleeved on 6/30 and have lost 34 lbs, but wonder if I would lose more if I ate less carbs.

What are you eating every day and are you exercising? Tell me your secret!! I was sleeved on 6/30 and down 29 lbs. -
I too was a Diet Coke addict before surgery. I would drink probably 5 or more a day. While on pre-op, I tried to reduce the amount, but I still had at lease 1-2 a day. Post-op, I went cold turkey. I was sleeved on 6/30 and I have not had not one since and I have probably 18 in my extra refrigerator. I didn't experience headaches or anything the days after because I had the surgery and was on pain meds from that. I bought my granddaughter some chicken from Chic-Fil-A and automatically ordered a diet coke. I took one swig from the straw and it was SOOO sweet! I do crave one every now and then, but I don't want to give in to that addiction again!

co-morbidities?
sjohnston222 replied to XForeverYoursX's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had the sleeve done in San Antonio with Dr. Patel. He sent me for an upper GI and found I had a hernia. If you have reflux bad, you prob have one too. Do you have to have a referral from your PCP? Wear a weight belt under a big shirt ... That will increase your BMI. I had a friend do that! BTW Victory Med Cntr was the best! -

Is the page set to private? I can't find it either but if it isn't private I can't be on it since it will appear on my FB feed and only a handful of people know. My email address is sjohnston222@hotmail.com -
