Question:
from 6 weeks to 3 months how many calories and carbs per day

Hi everyone, I am 6 weeks out and I need to know how many carbs and calories I should be getting a day. I try to get in 60 g of protien and 64 oz of water, but I would like to keep close track of carbs and calories too. I eat between 2 and 3 oz at 4-6 meals a day. open RNY 4-24-03 down 30#. Thankyou :0)    — wizz46 (posted on June 12, 2003)

Good work in your early loss-- congratulations. As for carbs, I have tended to keep it to about 45-60 grams a day. However, every few days, I will have a small serving of baked beans for the fiber. Also, whenever I feel that I'm at a plateua, I will get into the Atkins induction diet (you know, where you limit your carbs to about 10 a day). This sytem has seemd to work as I'm down 26 inches in my waist (that's a loss of 224 pounds) in the 8 mos. since my LAP RNY in October of 2002.

My doctor has given me the guide lines: Cal 1000 max, Carbs not more than 100g/day and 60 to 80 grams of protein per day. They also have told me to just do 3 meals a day (even though they are sooo small) and do water and protein supplements in between. I'm right at 6 weeks too!!! I get most of my cals and carbs from the protein supplements I do. I'm finding it so hard to get in all the water, protein, and then finding time to eat a meal. I just keep trying as hard as I can everyday!!! Hope this helps :)
