Calories, Carbs & RNY - help long timers!

I could have written this exactly. EXACTLY.

I am also 3.5 years out and my numbers are the same. I eat 800 to 900 calories a day (over 951, I begin to slowly gain), 20 to 35 carbs, and 80 to 100+ protein.

I am so sick of normie/skinny NUTS/Dieticians giving **** advice to bariatric patients. I swear, most of them are clueless.

Ugh. I get frustrated when I see things like that.

Old school that diabetics need carbs. Horrible advise IMO.

I would do as you are doing, and next time - when they tell me things like that - I'll smile, nod, tell them "that interesting, I will think about it".. Then continue doing what I am doing.

I am lucky that most docs I see understand and read most current studies.

Btw - read "Dr Bernstein diabetics diet solution" (not sure about spelling) . Great book. Most of it is free on line.

You have great numbers, you are losing weight- unless any of that change - I would not change a thing that you do.

Great work. Congratulations!!

I ate more carbs and calories than many bariatric patients from the get-go, but I didn't go over 1000 kcal a day until I was about a year out (I did 1000-1200 from the one year point until I got to maintenance (at about 18 months out)).

I never did ultra-low-carb, but I rarely went over 100 grams a day (and I was often under 80) while I was in weight loss mode.

I currently eat 1500-1700 kcal/day, but I'm two years out and have been in maintenance for awhile.

Yogurt and cheese are OK. I eat sweet potatoes sometimes too - or at least a little. I avoid potatoes at all costs - as well as other white carbs.

Your current 800-1000 kcal a day sounds fine. I was in that range from about six months to one year out.

You are doing awesome! Keep doing what you are doing! I heard the same bunch of Bull S**t from my NUT and surgeon's PA.

Edited for a typo.

I knew I could count on you-all. I don't go bac****il September. I'll keep doing my Keto and just smile and nod!
