My program didn't offer a carb limit, but my surgeon was very clear that following his plan I would be following a very low carb diet. I needed a number, so I went with the standard 40. (Turns out my doc's plan was even a bit lower when I decided to count the carbs in his meal plans! )
My plan also called for calories to gradually increase from 400 daily the first few weeks to 500 to 600 during mushies and soft foods and the introduction of solids and then, finally, around month three to stabalize between 600 & 800 calories daily. I was around 700-750 most days near the end of my WL phase. Kept carbs to 40 all the way along.
What most nutritionists fail to realize is that those of us *****ach obesity and morbid obesity are card SENSITIVE. Not all but many and as such when we eat them we don't lose and/or gain.
So do THIS to ease your brain. Go 2 weeks and do what WE say...the ones who have been there, done that. And see how it goes. If you HATE us for giving you what WE know to work then you can always do what YOUR nutritionist says.
