You really should defer to your Doctor on this one. However, I will share what our doc wants. You should eat, PROTIEN FIRST, (at least 60 grams a day)Then you can have VEGETABLES SECOND (they have carbs but good ones) Then FRUIT THIRD, and then if you have room have a better choice of CARB or treat yourself. PROTIEN=60 GRAMS FAT=20 GRAMS PER DAY. The only other "rule" was 12gm or less of sugar per each meal. 40lbs is great by the way. Everyone loses differently and it depends on the individual and activity level etc. You know that drill by now. When did you have your surgery? Mine was February 26th, so we are on the same time frame together. Check out Fitday.com to help you track. It is free and is a great way to monitor your intake (make sure you are getting in what you should) and activity level. YOU ARE DOING GREAT!
