protein/carbs?

Okay I am sure once I see the NUT in october she will give me this answer but I am curious now, darn it! LOL Once you are postop, what is the goal on protein and what is the limit on carbs per day? thanks!

As i remember Char its 50 grams but not sure id like to find out as well when we go  to our class they will let us know all we need to know and the help of our wl family were sure to be right on track with all our information

what doctor do you have, I can't remember! Is it averbach?

thank you dear!

Mine requires no less than 60 on the protein and they did not give me a total on the carbs only to keep them at a minimum.

thank you so much stephanie!

My nut asked that we start out with getting AT LEAST 60 grams of protein. and I think I read somewhere in my NUT's documentation that we should limit carbs to about 40 grams per day. However, I started out getting about 70 - 80 grams of protein a day (through supplements) and my carbs were almost zero. Now I have a few carbs but they are WHOLE GRAIN carbs so those are better than say....a slice of white bread. I don't think I get over 40 grams of carbs a day. I usually have some sort of whole grain crackers with my lunch and dinner and those I keep to about 20 grams per serving.

wow...carbs are real low...I can do it though! I will do it! thanks aaron!

Hey Char,

According to my " WLS Bible" that I was given by the nutritionist, it says to get 60-70 grams of protein per day, the more the better and to steer clear of carbs. 

I had a hard time getting in the protein, but eventually learned new recipes and ways to incorporate it, it doesn't take much thought now.

Good luck!

thanks lisa! I have learned a lot since being here! Sometimes my head swims with everything! LOL
