looking at ways to bring my Carb count down to below 40

Hi Corriev! I am not being critical but I think your menu needs more protein and less carbs...ie I would scrap the Weetabix for yogurt and scrap the fresh fruit. I would replace with a protein snack personally. Your numbers seem low-I think we should be 80g of protein. Might even want to think about a protein shake in there. When did you have surgery?

Thank Monica, I had my surgery on the 6th March this year...

You might want to change your stats. It says you had surgery in 2017 not 2018.

Tried finding where to change it - got lost in the process..

Click on the gear beside the + sign in the top right. Select Medical History and click on the little wrench to edit the date.

Ginny - you awesome - thx

Corrie I think Monica has some great suggestions. Bean salad, fruit salad, and Weetabix are pretty high in carbs. Do you like eggs, yogurt or chicken salad? Check out the World According to Eggface website. She had WLS and has lots of different recipes. I'm a lazy cook so often I will eat a Burnbrae Egg Bake (crustless quiche) for a meal. Upping your protein and taking the carb count below 40 should help with cravings and weightloss. Keep switching it up until you find what works for you.

Thank you for all the good advice. I will be following it and changing things up for sure.
