My doctor never gave me an amount to follow.  I don't eat much of it and I'm curious to know how many is okay.

I try to stay below 40 but lately I have noticed that I am over more frequently than not.

Less than 30, but I'm usually around 18.  I'm 4.5 months out.

I'm usually a little under 20, and very occasionally up to 25.

My NUT didn't give me a total either.  I was told that if you are meeting your protein goal and getting in your fluids, not to worry about carbs.  With that said, I still try and stay around 30-40 per day.

I coun****er, protein, fibre and calories. If those are all fine I don't much care about the number of carb grams. HOWEVER, that doesn't leave room for much in the way of crap carbs, which don't belong on anyone's plate except for small amounts on rare special occasions.

I know, I know - but I read a lot of people asking about when they can have a glass of wine or a mixed drink. I don't drink at all, but I will have a bite of my husband's birthday cake. Everyone has their own priorities. (I didn't do any baking at all at Christmas)

If you want an actual number for carb grams I average about 75-100, with generally 20-30 of them being fibre.

I am part of the "low carb" group on here. I never go over 20 a day. That has got me to 185 lbs lost in 10 months. .
