Numbers

Did anyone get specific guidance about number of fat grams, sugar grams, carbs we are supposed to stay below in a given day? I was told to try to get at or below 800 calories. And I was given guidance about how much sugar and carbs should be in a Protein Shake, but I don't have anything about what my limit should be in a given day. I'm sure I can get it from my NUT but always like to hear what others have been told. I am using Fitness Pal to track everything and I keep coming in below my calories every day but will have 1 gran too much fat or something (which hardly seems possible). Not sure how much stock to put into that aspect of the app since it also tells me every day that I am starving myself. Lol

Forgot to say that I was given specific guidance on amounts of Protein and Water so I'm clear on that.

How far out are you?

I think everybody's dr & nut give different goals, just like they all have different guidelines on when to change from purée to soft to reg food. Best to ask yours.

I am six weeks out tomorrow. Was 206 on day of surgery. Am 184 right now. Been stuck here for about 5 days but I'm sure it will pick back up. Exercising and getting in all my Protein with no problem. Coming close on fluids every day, but almost never get to 64. Today I will.

I wasn't given much in the way of guidelines. 70g Protein, less than 100g carbs, and 64 oz of Water - those are my only rules.

I am only 3 weeks out but was given 700 calories/day, less than 40g of carbs; and 50-70+ Protein, 48-64 oz of liquids, and was told not to worry about sugars, fats, or anything else....and I specifically asked for myfitnesspal so I could make sure I stay where I'm supposed to. But every Dr./Nut is different. I've lost a lb. a day so far
