the nutritionist says...

to eat  bout 30g of carb per meal... 6X daily after surgery... seems high!!
anyone done similar to that and have great weight loss?

=) thank you -

Since we try to stay at 50 or less per day, that does seem very high! There are those on here that are able to eat what ever they want without it impacting their weight loss, but not all.

I would have issue losing weight is I was eating 180 grams of carbs per day. Just my two cents!

Hi Jillian =)

i thought it seemed like a lot!!

I thought i was hearing things then i looked at paperwork... and she did say to eat protein first.. i thought how the heck... unless i ate 12 meals lol

i thought Maybe 60 a day was feasable but 180, its not even possible according to my calculations. 

my only concern was my half cup of ice cream on occasion lol 

Can't help much seems like I'm gonna be a pre-op forever lol but I'm glad to see you posting. How have you been feeling?

Hi Tracey =)

Did my goofy uncle ever make it to  your house? i haven't seen him.

I'm feelin lousy from these injections.  stressed but trying to stay positive.  They did diagnose me with MS last week.  It wasn't a shock, I think the Dr. was hoping for the best but mentally I've been deteriorating rapidly which is a bad sign so he had to break the news.  We are hopinh for the best with this treatment though =)

I miss you! Hows my lil Kenny?

I have missed you to and Kenny is a huge Ham but he's good I'll put a couple news pics on my profile. Well I hope your treatment goes well and you start feeling better. As for your uncle don't think thats gonna happen.

If you're eating that many carbs how are you going to fit in all the protein that you have to eat as well?

Typical rubbish advice: nod, smile and do the opposite....

I don't even see how that is physically possible to get that many good/healthy carbs in plus all the protein.

A big bowl of oatmeal is only 27g carb, 4g fiber.  Hurts my stomach to think about eating the equivalent of 6x that, plus all the protein. 

I eat prob. 150g carbs per day to maintain.  I think I could eat more but I'm too scared.  haha :)

She is just plain wrong!  If you eat 30g of carbs 6 times per day, besides the fact that it will most likely slow your weight loss, how will you fit in any protein?  That takes most of the room when you are early out.  Most try to limit carbs to 50g per DAY.  Please don't listen to this nut (literally).

I was told not to worry about carbs and calories what the hell? I think maybe your nut n my nut got their degrees from the same cracker jack box.

But we know better don't we like they say listen, nod, and do the opposite.
