Carbs vs. Protein

What is suppose to be the grams of Carbs and Protein intake per day? Also, does anyone know what the amount of ounces your new stomach (RNY 4 years ago) should hold?

Hi Rozen, Because of our challenge processing protien post op, you should shoot for 60-80 grams a day. After that you can add in carbs, but should keep to veggies and some fruit. You will know how many carb type food you can eat based on weightloss/maintenance. But always protien first. You shouldn't eat more than 4-6 oz at a time.  Hope that helps, Rachel (also 4 years post op and recently getting back to the basics!)

Thank you; I had forgotten a lot of stuff. Good luck in getting it back off. That's what I'm aiming for.

My nutritionist, who works in my bariatric surgeon's office, told me to get 1200-1400 calories a day, 1 hr of exercise a day, and 30-40g fat, 60g carbs, 120g protein. I am 5yrs out.

Thanks for the information. I had forgotten some of the things they told us.
