Carbs & Calories



Recommended Posts

Just wondering how many carbs and or calories most people are consuming per day. I am hoping to get a better idea of where I should be each day in order to maximize my weight loss. Just started using "My Fitness Pal" again. Hoping this will keep me on track ~ looking forward to your response! : )

I think I need to tighten my belt. I eat 800 cal & under 70 total carbs. My supplements add about 30carbs a day&then I eat some vegetables with meals.

I was told by NUT not to count calories, but I seem to be around 700 a day. I am supposed to get 60-70 grams of Protein & less than 20 grams of carbs. I have found that to be a bot restrictive. So, I try to keep it under 40 grams of carbs per day. I do not count carbs in vegetables & limit myself to 1 piece of fruit per day. I think the more on your plan you are the faster the weight will come off. I am 10 weeks post-op today & down 55 lbs. I know some people who are more restrictive in their diet have lost more rapidly. I would rather lose a little bit slower & not feel so restricted. Good luck!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
