What low carb program do you follow
I am 12 years out from my RNY surgery. Last year I gained back like 40 pounds due to some serious personal issues. Once I realized what I was doing to myself I just started watching my carbs and portion control again. I still eat protein first and foremost. I don't count calories at all. It is amazing to me that my pouch still works so well. I just let it do the work again. I am two pounds away from my former weight and very happy about it!!! I love the fact that my skinny jeans fit again!!!
800 calories
60-80 grams of protein
no more than 50 grams of carbs per day
I am still having trouble hitting my protein for the day but I am working on it.
You survived what you thought would kill you. Now straighten your crown and go forward like the Queen you are!
At three years out - I had to go back to low carb. I did not particularly follow a strict low carb regimine while losing. However, now that my malabsprption is gone and my hunger is back - I find that low carb helps keep me from starving to death.
I am trying to drop a few pounds - my doc's goal weight was higher than mine - Mine was 155 and I am 163 today. I am out of my comfort zone. So I have been pretty strict.
I count calories AND carbs. A rampant bacon fest is no good for anyone IMHO
