calories and carbs 7 months out?



Recommended Posts

Does anyone know how many calories and carbs you are suppose to have at almost 7 months out? I have been around the same weight for the last two months. Frustrating!!!!!!!!!

I was never told to count carbs....just watch calories, fat and mainly Protein. I am three months out. I stick between 600-800 calories a day and they want me to get in 60-80 of protein a day. I usually only get in about 50 though

i feel better that i am not the only one who cannot manage to get 60-80g of protein!! i usually get about 50g as well. i always feel like i'm failing!

Try having a Protein Bar for Breakfast - that's 20 grams right there.

I am where you are! I hate stalls!!!!!! Mine has been 3 months :unsure:. Maybe I am eating too many calories- I am eating around 1000-1200 with working out 6 days a week and my carbs are around 165g per day and my Protein is 60-90. I think I am going to try in addition to more Water, less calories. This is tougher than I thought it would be but I am still very thankful I have lost as much as I did thus far. I wish you the best- I really hope the scale moves for the both of us real soon. You are not alone!

Around the 6 month mark, I started slowing down in weight loss. I have only lost a few pounds since then. But I was really close to goal. This is frustrating especially if you have a lot more to lose. But it will keep coming off and you will have stalls. the weight does come off at a slower rate, but it does come off. You calories sound good, so maybe check with your NUT and see what he/she has to say....And let us know. Keep up the good work and CONGRATS! You are a success story..... :)

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
