Typical Macros per day question (protien/carbs/fat)
Hello! I?m currently 22 months post op for vsg. I?m just curious; on average what are your average daily grams for protien/carbs/fat? Total calories?
In total, pre and post op I?ve lost 80 lbs (SW 226/ CW 146) and I?m 5?4 / 35 years old. I also had a baby in between surgery and now (she?s 5 months) so as you can imagine I?m not quite sure I?m at where i need to be weight loss wise.
thanks in advance!
It might be wise for you to get in touch with your surgeon and see what their recommendations are.

If you want to get back into weight-loss mode, I'd suggest aiming for 800 calories per day, under 25g carbs, 60 - 80g protein. (That's the standard recommendation around here.) If in doubt, though, it would be a good idea to check with your surgeon.
Good luck!
