does anyone know how many carbs, fats and sugars we should be consuming per day? I know I should get 70 grams of protein a day. but i am unsure of the rest , I am trying to edit myfitness pal goals to what i should be having so I can make sure i'm not going over on carbs, fats, and sugars, thanks for any help

My Bariatric Center of Excellence provides nutritionists, exercise physiologists, and psychologist-led support groups for life, so they're with you every step of the way.  I will try to drag my old booklet out and look that up for you. . .

I do remember that the weight loss phase of my program was only 400-600 calories a day and as FEW carbs as possible. . . almost none, till you get to goal, and then the nutritionist gives them back to you.  80-120 oz. of water every day, too.

Many plans say under 40g carbs, 70g protein or over, 600-800 cals. Not much direction on fat grams.
