My nutritionist never set a clear amount of carbs to limit myself to post-sleeve. I'm just wondering how many grams of carbs do you limit yourself to per day?

My doctor told me not to count carbs or calories because I'm too "obsessive."--- yeah, I think he understands me. LOL

I eat fruits and veggies, and don't count calories or carbs. When you feed your body the nutrition it needs, that hunger craving for carbs vanishes.

I would ask them what their ideal carb intake for you might be.

I keep my carbs pretty low.. I try for no more than 5% of my total caloric intake. I do have to tweak it periodically in an attempt to keep my momentum going and I'm definitely taking in more when I'm PMSing. :)

I don't have a carb limit either. I just don't typically eat any unless in the form of fruits. Pasta, rice and bread are no longer part of my diet since November of last year when i started my insurance-required pre-sleeve diet. When I think I can eat a little and have tried (even pre-sleeve) its made me very nauseated. I just don't go there anymore.

      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.
