Ok I tried using the search function but couldn't come up with an answer. I would just like to know how many carbs I should be eating a day. I don't eat any grains but things like Beans and crab also have carbs. I'm almost 3 months out and want to make sure I'm not overdoing it with the carbs! Thanks!

My docs say no carbs at all but dont think it can be done. I sometimes only take in 10 carbs a day and others it can be more.

My program doesn't have a carb restriction - they only care about me hitting my Fluid and Protein goals.

That said, they also want me to always approach my food choices from a Protein first, then vegetables, then starchy carbs (if there's any room left).

According to myfitnesspal I average 50g of carbs or less (with an occasional spike) per day.

I've finished week #14 and am in week #15 with no stalls to date.

I was told not to worry about carbs too much...just make sure the carbs I take in are complex carbs....they keep you fuller longer...

Ok, that's what my nut told me too. I hit 100 carbs today and thought that was a lot, but when I went back and looked I usually hit around 50, somedays 20. I guess I just panicked when I saw the 100 for today in MFP, it looked like a lot. I ate a lot of Beans today and they added up! Thank you!

My doc wants me to eat 50 or less.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
