Question:
How many grams of Carbs should we have a day

I am 7 weeks post opp and have lost 34 lbs. I know how many grams of protein I should have a day but what about carbs and how many calories should I be having day. I am Happy with my weight loss but for the past 2 weeks I seem to be stuck and I am trying to figure out what my daily requirements should be at this point.    — RoseAnne (posted on September 10, 2003)

The same and a similar question were asked yesterday. You might want to check those responses out. (They were both asked on 9/9: the first one is the second question listed under that date, and the second one is about 15 or 16 from the bottom of that date ("Does your surgeon count veggies and fruits as carbs?").

You need to be referring to YOUR surgeon's plan. All of the plans vary so drastically. Some plans use 100 grams of carbs, which I would not be caught dead eating and some use zero, which I have done, but now do about 20-40 in a day. I'm 7 mo PO. At your stage it's critical to follow your plan. Once you are further out you can play around some more and see what works for your body.
