Carb / Protein / Fat %'s



Recommended Posts

I'm in my 7th week post-op. What did your guidlines recommend your daily carb/protein/fat %'s to be at this point?

I was told 60-80 grams of Protein but I wanna set my carb and fat % goals in MFP too.

Rules I lived by in the early days:

80 grams of Protein as your goal

64 oz of liquids (sugar free popsicles count!)

Keep sugar under 10g per serviing

Choose low or non-fat products

I tracked all my food and if I saw that the combination of fat and carbs was going above 50% of my total caloric intake I'd slow down on carbs and replace with Protein.< /p>

Hi Elaraye,

My program reference says:

General Nutrition Guidelines:

Calories: 700-900/day

Protein: 60-80 grams per day from low fat sourcess

Carbohydrates: 100 grams per day from fruits and veggetables

Fat: Limint to 30-40 grams per day: choose more mono-and polyunsaturated fats

Fluids: 64oz per day minimum

75% of each meal should be Protein

25% should be shared between veggies, fruits with a very small amount of starch (well toasted bread, crackers, or potato only.

My dietician says 50/25/25 with the 50% being Protein. That's how I have my goals set in MFP. :-)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
