Jodi, I don't get on this board very often so I really apologize for not replying earlier. You may, in fact, already have an answer to your question. I had asked my dietician about the nutrients. For carbs in particular, I was told to target a minimum of 100 grams in order to stay out of ketosis (ketosis is bad..not good!). Provided I try to keep it with 'good carbs', it can be a strugle most days to get in 100 g. Of that 100, at least 30 grams should be 'fiber' grams in order to keep from getting constipated. For the fiber grams, I usually just eat 1 cup of Fiber One cereal for 28 grams. I munch on it dry like it's popcorn. Different dieticians will tell different patients different advise so when in doubt, be sure to run it by your own dietician...k? Best of luck! Sherri

Hello, If you don't mind me asking, did your insurance cover the revision? If not, what did it cost you? I have been at the same weight since I was 10 months out! Urghh...I don't think my BMI would qualify me for WLS as I am about 35 lbs from ideal weight. Thanks! Sherry

Teri Thank you very much. I notice that this board is not very active. I posted this question on the nutrition board and the dieticain said something about calories in verses carbs and such, that really didn't help either. I decided to eat the very lowest amount of carbs that I can. It seems to be helping in different ways. With weight and gas problems. Sorry for the TMI I really appreciate you taking the time to stop in and post. It's nice to know someone is reading. Have a wonderful day and an awesome rest of the week! (((BIG HUGS))) JODI

HI THERE This is my first visit to this board, so hi all. I figured what better place to ask this question then here with the rest of my surgery sisters and brothers. I know I should know this but I don't. How many carbs as we suppose to shoot for to either get or stay under? I am really confused. (nothing new for me) If someone could help me out here I would be ever so greatful. Thanks in advance for taking the time to even come in here and read my post and for any advice you could give me. Much love and (((BIG HUGS))) JODI from The Cali board.

Sherri, Happy Surgiversary to you!! You did great. I am so jealous that you are having PS. I am dying for a TT but can't afford it right now. I would be at goal if I had a TT as I have so much skin to be removed on my tummy. Lynn J., lap RNY 9/29/04 5'4" 306/146/135
