I keep it below 50, (almost all my carbs come from fruit and veg, I rarely eat any bread or potato) but keep in mind it depends on the amount of calories and exercise you are doing. I think the best way would be to figure out the percentage of your total intake that should be carbs, sugars and Protein. I am not sure what that should be, but it makes more sense then a random number that does not take into consideration the amount of calories etc that you are intaking.

I am having trouble because it seems that's all I want. Mostly bread.

Jut wondering what have you all tried to get over it.

Assuming you're newly post op - it gets better once you get it out if your system, 2-3 weeks. I still miss it but it's not maddening

Starch carbs sit in my pouch like a rock. Lol!

Me too and I'll be a year post-op tomorrow. I used to love bread and now I have trouble eating half a slice. Just one more great benefit of this surgery!!

      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.
