So, how many carbs, calories, etc. Are we supposed to have after the sleeve? I am 300lbs, 5ft 4 1/2 and female. So do those things matter?

Also, what are we supposed to count mostly, carbs or calories or both?

I just want to be a little smarter when it comes to knowing what to keep track of. I know I should already know these things, but...help? Please & thank you!

I'm getting sleeved Thursday. But my nutritionist goes by the 60/60/60 rule:

60 grams of Protein per day minimum

60 oz of Water per day

60 min of walking

With the carbs and sugar:

Carbs 4 grams per serving maximum

Sugar 4 grams per serving maximum

Get good quality Protein Shakes like Isopure, Optimum Nutrition, Dymatize, ect.

Hope this helps!!

Thanks for the 60/60/60 rule. Easy to keep up with when I think of it that way.

i've read on here that people usually consume around 700-900 calories a day.

This is perfect advice. Everyone is different and some do need less carbs per day to lose, however these rules are a good starting point.

I did exactly this (except my Water intake after the first few months went up to around 100 oz per day) and I lost all my excess weight in about 10 months time. Also of all my workouts, walking has ALWAYS been my greatest fat burner. Not even running (though I did do that...) but walking.

Good luck to you!

I was sleeved yesterday and started on the Water and Protein this morning. They wanted 1oz of water and 1oz of protein every hour. It sounds soooooo much easier than to do it. I started water at 6am an protein at 1030 and so far I've only gotten 7oz of water and 2oz of protein. And with just that I feel like I just finished a steak dinner it absolutely crazy!!!

      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.
