Hi everyone, what's a good # of CARBS to set for a goal? My baritastic app has it set at 44carbs daily.

That actually sounds about right depending on where you are in the process. I try not to eat over 30-35g each day. I had a Protein Bar as a treat so I’m going to finish today at 43g’s. That’s a big day for me.

I was told no more than 30g but preferably less

I ignored carb and fat counts. If you have a suitable amount of Protein and your calories are low enough to promote the desired weight loss, you will by default be on a low carb and low fat diet. Let the numbers fall where they may (in retrospect, looking at my past data, my carbohydrates and fats were, on average, split about even calorically. That was not a specific goal, but just the way things shook out looking after the nutritional side of things.

No carbs here. I am a carb addict. I am afraid if it go there, I’ll fall off the deep end. Focusing on lean Protein an low carb veggies makes my Life easier

My program allows up to 70 a day once you reach “real” food stage, or end stage. I usually stay around 30-40 unless I’m having a mocha 😂

      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.
