Just wondering how many carbs you guys try to have day. I know my cals are suppose to be around 800 which is fine by me I don't even get that many I don't think but I haven't seen anything telling how may carbs. I don't want to have too many but then not get enough to keep a good balance. If you guys could just let me know how many carbs your getting in a day and what's a good number to try and stick with..thanks guys:biggrin0:

During my losing stage, I kept my carbs to 30grams or less. I honestly didn't have enough room for carbs by following the Protein first rule. The majority of my carbs came from the yogurt, cheese, and the few veggies I ate during that time. I did this for the first 4 months, then started slowing adding in more carbs and it slowed my loss down. I dropped 80lbs the first 4 months so my surgeon and I wanted to slow it down a bit. The losing did slow down a little, but not much until I really added more carbs in around 8 months out. I'm currently maintaining.

Now that I'm in maintenance. It's a different ball game, and I don't count all that much anymore. Some days I'm really good with carbs, other days I eat junk and I'm not so good on carbs.

My nut said around 50 but I'm doing the 30/day.

Some days it's a few under..some days it's a few over.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
