I was wondering how many grams of sugar should I have per day. The highest I've ever consumed in a day was 26g of sugar. I'm still at my stall and was wondering if that's contributing to it. Also how many grams of sugar should I take a day. I'm eating yogurt smoothie which has 12g, then tuna which has 6g, then greek yogurt at 10g, then my Protein which 4g. I'm sorry it's long I'm just freaking out about my stall which I'm at week four of not losing any.

It isn't about the sugar - it's about your macronutrients (protein/fat/carb), what you eat each day, and how active you are. Just focusing on sugar won't tell you what you need to know.

My carb is usually around 50g, my Protein is 50g, I have 0 transfat and my highest saturated fat was 9g. This is approximately what I've been eating since my post op, which was 3 1/2 week ago. I work out very much walking 2 1/2 miles to 3 a day and drink about 50oz of liquid a day.

It looks as though you may want to decrease your carbs and increase your Protein some; and increase your fluids. Depending on your total fats per day, your protein/carb totals are only providing you with 400 calories a day, which is too low, especially if you're walking.

      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.
