How many carbs to aim for?

Or better yet, how many carbs to limit your diet to? I had my surgery on August 17 and began eating mushies on Thursday. I log my food intake on myfitnesspal.com (love it btw!) and would like to have an idea on how many carbs I should have each day (at the most).

I still don't have any fill.

Thanks!

I'm very carb sensitive so I have to keep mine under 50 and even better under 20-30 to really be effective.

It really depends on you and how active you are in the exercise dept.

Some of us that exercise alot need anywhere from 60-80 carbs per day .  I know for me the days i do my Advanced Zumba with weights if I dont eat at least 60 plus those days then I will get very light headed and dizzy .

The days I dont exercise I keep mine around 40-50 .  And even sometimes that is just to low for me and I will get light headed.

It really depends on you though .

I try to stick under 70g carb a day, never over 100g. Pre-banding I would eat 300g/day.
