Does anyone know how many carbs are allowed each day? I was sleeved on May 12th & have lost 28 lbs. I haven't lost anything for a week but I know that's not unusual so I'm not worried. I looked thru all of my info couldn't find anything concerning carb count. I have had trouble getting in my 800 calories but have done well with my Protein. I think I need to track carbs as well. Hope everyone is doing well with their sleeve.

Here is what I was told. In the process of burning fat your body turns fat back into carbos. Therfore when you are in the losing stage you dont require any carbos in your diet. Once in maintanance mode it would be a good question to ask a NUT.

The dieticians in my surgeon's practice have us eat a minimum of 30 and maximum of 60 carbs per day. Seems like every practice varies somewhat!

Yep--there's so many different programs out there. Many do not have you worry about counting carbs until you are back to eating normal foods again, months down the road. After all--you have quite enough to be worrying about right after surgery, right??? Most eating plans for the first few months after surgery give you the right balance of everything you need and as long as you follow that, counting carbs isn't necessary.

Congrats on your sleeve!

I read on here that less than 50g a day is a good measure

      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.
