carbs

hello all was wondering if anyone could answer a question for me, I know we should try to avoid carbs but what is the maxium carbs per day that we are allowed? I want to make sure I am not getting too many.

Hey Robin, Someone from the May surgeries message board just posted yesterday that her doc and nut told her 100 carbs. My nut recomends no more than 10g sugar per serving but I read a book from a WLS surgeon and he said remember sweet 16... 16g of sugar in a serving. Hope this helps! I know it is all confusing to me, too. My doc said just try and get your pouch to having food, we will talk about carbs, etc at 6 months. (he said cheese crackers were ok... in moderation ) Barb

THANKS BARB YES YOUR INFORMATION HELPED ME A GREAT DEAL AND I DO APPRECIATE YOUR RESPONSE. BTW, HOW ARE YOU DOING? I NOTICE YOU POST OFTEN ON HERE AND YOU ARE A GREAT INSPIRATION TO ALL OF US. I DON'T POST TOO MUCH BUT I READ THE POST EVERYDAY AND IT IS GREAT THE WAY PEOPLE HELP EACH OTHER OUT. EVERYONE I MEET WITH A WEIGHT PROBLEM I RECOMMEND THIS BOARD TO THEM. GOD KNOWS IT HAS REALLY DONE WONDERS FOR ME. HAVE A GREAT DAY AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL THE OTHERS THAT ARE ALWAYS READY TO JUMP IN AND LEND A HAND OR ANSWER QUESTIONS. DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO WITHOUT ALL OF YOU. AGAIN THANK YOU.

Well thank you so much Robiin. Thats just what I needed to hear today. THE POUCH has been behaving horribly the last week or so and I've completely given up on eating! My weight loss is good and inches are falling off as well... I'm down 65 pounds. This Georgia Board has been a life saver for me so many times. I know from experience that questions are just as valuable as the answers. Sometimes someone asks a question and I'm like, oh, I was wondering that or I never thought to ask. You are a great asset to this board as well May God bless you. Keep in touch, Barb
