Carbs?

[DebiC 181]

I don't get this whole carbs thing. I decided I wasn't going to worry about carbs and all that (I only eat "good" carbs anyways), but then once I started tracking my foods online and saw how many carbs I was eating It sounded like so many.

I ate 1/2 a sandwich thin for Breakfast and 1 corn tortilla at lunch some milk and juice and it added up to 83 carbs and I have only consumed 600 calories. I saw where others were trying to stay under 20 or so.

Is this really something I need to be worrying about (as if I don't have enough with worrying about Proteins, Water, vitamins)?

Oh-I am only three weeks out, but allowed to eat anything except fresh veggies, dry meats, Pasta, or rice.

I don't do low carb. I do however make sure I eat at least 80 grams of protien a day!I feel like my weight loss has been fantastic and I eat 100 carbs or so a day. So it works for me!

I was also confused about this. I have asked my doc about it multiple times and he always says they don't have carb, calorie restrictions. He says if you follow the rules of bariatric surgery you shouldn't have to. So that's what I have done and lost over 50 lbs in 3 months! Good luck!

i refuse to keep track of anything. I eat my Protein first, then fruit/veg and if I have room I have some carbs. It's works well for me.
