My dr doesn't have us really track carbs just calories and Protein. But I watch mine. Recently they've been too high for my taste. I'm just going through a rut. I'm sick of meat.< /p>

Am more than 6 months out. My max carbs will be 50 grams a day. I try to keep it at 50% or lower of my Protein.intake.

Heather, am in the same boat. Am trying to limit carbs to natural ones in milk, nuts, yogurt and cheese.

Same here Lili. I won't give up veggies and some fruit. Plus, my Dr wants me to have these things along with the milk, nuts, yogurt and cheese. :-)

I just asked my nutritionist this question. I googled how many we should get when trying to lose weight and was told 20, I found that impossible. My nutritionist told me 90 a day...she said about 15 carbs per meal or snack..I know I don't get to 90 but I don't track them. Hope this helps :-)

For the most part I keep it very low. We don't have to specifically count carbs but I like to follow I more low carb diet as it keeps me satisfied/full. I on average take in 15-25 a day with my highest around 40-50. I try not to have too many days with high carb numbers...

I should also add that i get fruit and veggies in. I buy the Atkins frozen meals and they have zucchini, green Beans, cauliflower broccoli. I also buy the 4 packs of pears and mandarin oranges I just buy the ones in Water versus Syrup and no sugar added. I will be adding more fruits but don't like to eat too many as prior to surgery they would kick up my carb intake and when my carb intake gets to high I get cravings.. I know it will probably be different now but I am going to follow the Atkins way of life from here on out...

When I went in for my 6th month check up, the nurse said I may want to limit my carbs in order to help my weight loss. I was taking a look at my food diary on MFP and I definitely need to change up my diet to get to the numbers you all are listing! I looked at Monday's and my Protein Shake alone has 20! Ekk! I'm going to try being more mindful and see if it helps.

      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.
