How many carbs per day?

[Johanna1955 69]

I had my 6 mo post-op visit yesterday. I've lost 64 lbs. The doctor said I should have lost more and asked me about my diet. I eat eggs, cheese, microwave lite popcorn, fresh fruit, yogurt, Peanut Butter on apple. I think I'm eating well. That's the whole idea. He said I am eating "way" too many carbs and wants me to cut down to 15 carbs per day. I can do that but when I eat primarily Protein I cannot go number 2 and get so backed up that I'm miserable and end up having to take a load of laxatives once a week to get it all out. That can't be healthy? I hope that's not TMI. LOL. So how many carbs are you eating a day and are you still losing. At 6 months out I'm losing about 1-2 lbs every 2-3 weeks.

Thanks

I've been advised that calories, carbs, etc. don't matter - get my 70g of Protein in and 64oz of Fluid each day, and that's all I'm supposed to worry about! If/when I stall, cutting carbs back to no more than 50g per day is advised...but even that's not long term. My doc is one of those who, like me, doesn't think I should be on a "diet" or that I should be "limiting" any foods or macronutrients. I am healthy, losing steadily and will reach my goal by putting protein first and eating small portions...which is exactly what the sleeve is intended to do.
