I was 3 months post op on December 20. I've been using myfitnesspal.com on my NEW phone my daughter bought me for Christmas. I love being able to carry it with me and track my food on the go. Any ideas how many carbs I should be limiting myself to? What do you limit yourself to?

Just can't believe how well I'm doing after the endoscopy - it has changed my life and I feel like a human being again!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

When I was in the losing phase I kept the carbs around 50. When I started maintaining I upped them to 100 and kept increasing them because I was still losing weight. Now I am at about 150 to 200 grams a day.

Glad you are doing so well.

My program didn't count carbs but limited you to 1, 1/4c serving a day of starchy stuff. I found even when I was eating the same # of calories, around 5 months, I started losing better if I lowered my carbs to around 30 net. Since I am done losing, I allow myself 1 serving a day again. That doesn't count my low starch veggies, salads, greens, etc. I eat those as much as I want or can.

Love the new Avie. Your face looks thinner already.

I found myself the most successful when I ranged my net carbs to 50-75 grams..50 for 3 weeks then 1 week of 75..I found that if I changed it up a bit my body never got used to a certain amount..now that I am in maintaince mode I prefer to get 100..anything above that makes me feel bloated but there are days I get up there to 150 (yuck!).
