WLS Success-through Powerful Positive Attitudes
How much is too much or not enough...Food wise
I know a lot of you received nutritional plans...but unfortunately I did not..so if you guys could help me out I'd appreciate it.
How much should I be consuming daily? Also bad stuff (sugars etc.) how much should I try to stay at for the day?
Protein: I do know is around 60-80 g right?
Calories: How much should I be consuming?
Sugars: How much is too much for the day?
Carbs: How much is too much for the day?
Fats: How much is too much for the day?
Sodium: How much is too much for the day?
Thank you for your guidance!

Hi Diana, I am still pretty new at this but I do see a dietician every 2 weeks and a bariatric doctor every month to keep me on track.
I am eating about 100 grams of protein right now. My dietician just had me up my calories so I now am eating in the 600's, I was way too low in the 400's and not losing much My wieght loss has increased with the extra calories. To up my calories I have 2 cups of coffee with a scoop of protein in each
Sugar, I really do not eat any other than a bite or two of fruit each day
Carbs...these too I eat very little of. A Wasa cracker and perhaps 3 soda crackers would be it for the day (only one or the other, never both)
Fat, I do not worry so much about at this point because I am getting in so few calories. I have cream in my coffee and while I do not add unnecessary fats to my foods. I use low fat and fat free products and if I use oil to cook it is either Pam or Olive Oil
Sodium...I don't worry about sodium at all - have very low blood pressure.
