Carb Question

[Sweetyne01 12]

I have a quick question, how many carbs are you allowed pre-op and post-op. I started my two week diet on Tuesday and I am afraid I am taking in too many carbs when I add the Protein Shake to lite soy milk. Does anyone know the number of carbs you are allowed each day? I am scared I am screwing up already!

Ask your nut!

My doc told me 90 grams of Protein per day and half of my Protein intake can be carbs. So if I have 90 grams of protein, I can have 45 carbs. 100 grams of protein and I can have 50 carbs, so on so forth.

But yeah, check with your doc specifically. Everyone is different.

Sweetie

all NUTS give different responses to questions

check w/NUT

pre-op carbs???

Post Op - My NUT says no more than 40 carbs a day - I try and follow - sometimes i go over though. i have read other sleevers take in as little as 20 carbs

but...........listen to YOUR NUT only - she is the one working directly with and for you. true also with your surgeon

You are down 35 lbs - good for you

good luck

take care

If you can avoid adding your shake to the soy milk, consider doing so...if you need it for taste I would go ahead.

It is hard to asnswer your question, since I don't know how many carbs you are having overall.

I could go as low as 10 carbs a day on the pre op diet. Hard, but worth it - however, felt pretty good after a few days.
