How many carbs daily?

Hi everyone How many carbs do you eat on daily basis? Or what is acceptable amount? I've been using fitday.com & find I'm not getting in the calories per day like I should. The protein part I'm doing just ok & water is great. Just curious to see about where everyone is on the carb end. A little OT.. my dad is to funny these days. There is a commercial on the other day, local car dealer's commercial. He says to me well that's what you looked like before your surgery He thinks I should go talk to the gal about surgery! He has been so supportive pre-op & post-op I'm very lucky to have the support. The past few days he's even talked to me about having surgery himself!!! He just turned 72 in Oct, he's diabetic also. Yesterday he had me go on fitday.com for him & put in his info, he's so impressed with both OH & fitday. I have to share with everyone that he tells me on a daily basis how proud he is of me. He is still amazed at the amount of food that fills me up. I'm a big yogurt fiend & keep 3 kinds in the fridge at all times! For me it is perfect for the "sweet tooth. Ok I've blabbed enough now Hugs to all Carolyn

Hi, Carolyn. I don't even want to know how many carbs I have been eating. I am going to watch everything from here on out. Except two "last meals" that I want to have. The Chinese Buffet and Red Lobster..anyway. My question is about yogurt. What kind is there that post op we can have? I am 9 days away from surgery and really trying to concentrate on afterwards, what I will need. I looked last night, my friend told me there was some made w/Splenda and I could not find it. Do you know what kind she is talking about? Thanks, Michelle

Michelle, Blue Bunny has the yogurt sweetened with Splenda. It is called Lite 85 & is 6 g of protein, 85 cal. & 14 G of carbs. They also make the Carb Freedom yogurt. That has 9 g of protein, 90 cal., & 5 g of carbs. They taste great! However, if you are used to the normal (sweetened with sugar & lots of calories) you will tell a difference. The Lite 85 has some wonderful flavors. My favorites are Coconut Creame, & Black Forest. Of course, they also have the fruit flavors. Dixie

Hi Michelle, I buy either Carb Freedom or Lite 85 Wells Blue Bunny yogurt love them both. Especially vanilla creme takes care of sweet tooth cravings. Keep us posted about the days before surgery if you have any questions be sure to ask that's what we are here for. If you want to keep track of your calories, protein, carbs etc go to fitday.com (www first of course ) it is a big help. Have a good weekend. Carolyn
