How many carbs do you allow per day??
I am drinking a 10 oz cup of coffee in the am with a chocolate Premier Protein shake but my surgeon scolded me; saying caffeine can lead to stomach ulcers in bariatric patients, so I started mixing have decaf because he said decaf was ok; "if you must"....... wish I knew for sure...if I don't have a little in the AM to get me going, I drag hard all day, without it... Its one thing I am being defiant about, with my surgeons advice... (I was told that decaf still has 10-15% of the caffeine) I certainly have read good things about coffee too but what difference does it make being a bariatric patient.... I just don't know)
I don't worry much about carbs either, although I am anal about protein and fluids and staying at 800 ish calories. Therefore, not a lot of extra room for carbs. But I have just started adding oatmeal to my diet and a few berries and incorporating a few more veggies which all add some carbs. I don't eat anything white. In looking back at myfitnesspal entries, carbs average about 50-80 each day. But they just aren't my main focus.
