erp 2,016 Posted February 4, 2017 How far out are you? Are you trying to lose or maintain? How active are you? To take a stab at it without any info, for losing weight most people go low carb. Many people are under 50 grams of carbs but some are even under 20 grams a day. For women, fat helps regulate our hormones so I would not suggest going under 30 grams of fat a day with an upper limit of 60 grams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
50yearoldme 157 Posted February 4, 2017 I guess I should have said, I'm still pre op. My date is Feb 17. I'm just looking for information for post op. Like what should my loss goals be? Sent from my XT1565 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrs_ross26 76 Posted March 21, 2017 I'm wondering this, too. I want to use this app but have no idea how to set the goals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EmmyJ 184 Posted March 21, 2017 I use the baritastic app with only a 60g Protein and 64oz Water goal. I try to keep carbs under 50, generally, but given that I'm still less than 2 months out, I don't really eat enough calories to both meet the protein goal and go over 50g of carbs anyway I don't really track fats at all, just try to make whatever fats I eat the low fat kind (never fat free, I love myself too much for that!) 1 mrs_ross26 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
