Hi there. I was sleeved on 6/23 and saw my surgeon and nutritionist yesterday for my first post-op. They were okay with my 60grams of Protein but actually told me to start eating MORE carbs because I've been around 15 a day. Each doctor is different, but my nutritionist said she'd like to see me get to about 35-40 a day.

Honestly, I'm not sure how I'm going to do that right now. I'm trying to stay between 2 and 3 ounces per meal and to get 60 or more Protein I am mostly only eating protein.

Carbs have been my downfall all my life. You can imagine how bemused I was to hear someone to tell me to eat more.

I have to keep my carbs under 50 or I will not loose. I didn't have trouble with that until at 6 weeks post op my surgeon raised me from 800 to 1,000 calories per day. I wasn't told what my carb level should be but reading what others are allowed is what I have based my carb intake on.
