Donia 21 Posted November 15, 2017 I use an app that my dietician told me about called Baritastic and really like it. It is very user-friendly! It calculates Protein, carbs, calories, fat, etc. and is specifically for bariatric patients. 3 Sonyawon, Sosewsue61 and sleevedAndRelieved reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sonyawon 135 Posted November 16, 2017 Donia after surgery and back to eating solids are carbs to stay under 100? Sent from my LGL84VL using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sonyawon 135 Posted November 16, 2017 How much sugar do we need to stay under? Sent from my LGL84VL using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Donia 21 Posted November 16, 2017 Donia after surgery and back to eating solids are carbs to stay under 100? Sent from my LGL84VL using BariatricPal mobile appMy understanding is we should and probably will stay under 100 g of carbs after surgery because we are supposed to focus on eating our Protein first, then veggies, and carbs being our last priority. I think we will naturally stay below 100 g if we adhere to that method of eating. As for sugar, that is considered a simple or refined carb and should be avoided as much as possible because it ups our carb intake without giving us any beneficial nutrients. Our carbs should consist of “good carbs” - fruit, starchy veggies, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
