I am three months out...I am just wondering about how many carbs you have each day? I have been trying to stay at or below the recommended 25 carbs per day, but I haved added a little more as of lately and it seems the pounds are dropping off faster now. Anyone had the same thing happen?

My dietician said no to go over 100 carbs a day. i stay around 60-70, when i was at 40 carbs i could barely make it through my hour workouts. I only eat complex carbs. Whole grains, fruits, veggies, nuts. Inless it is "cheatin Sunday" i dont eat white flour, anything with corn Syrup, white sugar and try to stay away from artifical sweetners. Im trying really hard to do more natural and get rid of everything artifical in my diet.

I stay around 50 most days. Some days less, some days more, but that's the average. My nut is not worried about carbs, but I feel I do better when I keep them under 100.

Oh yeah, I don't do any artificial sweeteners either. I hate the taste for one thing, but I feel like the real thing in small amounts is healthier.

Yeah, I am the same way. If I keep my carbs too low, I stall out for a bit. If I keep them 30g to 40g everything is pretty smooth. Everyone's body is different.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
