I know I have this information *somewhere* but I cannot find it. Approximately how many carbs should we be limited to per day? Thanks in advance... Jersey

My surgeon refuses to entertain any discussion on carbs and the nut will only say 20% of your total food intake and of course, they should be the right ones. I share this to help ease any concerns.... ~Tiff

My surgeon won't give me a number either. But I know with me, if I eat too many carbs my blood sugar goes way up. So I try to limit it to 50grams a day, but I have a hard time doing this. So I do the best I can and don't make myself crazy

Hi Jersey. My nut says 3-4 servings per day of starchy carbs. She says that equals to 1 slice of toast, 1/2 of potato, 1/4 c. of rice (or something like that). If I did that....I would be eating 7-8 servings of carbs per day!!! I personally would overdo it. But I usually get about 2-3 servings. But she never gives me a concrete number...... April

My Nut didn't give me a limit either. I'm doing 70 gms protein a day Minium, and maxing at 100 gms of carbs and about 1000 Kc. My Nut says this is ok. RobinNJ
