Disregard the carb count at this point. Focus on eating protein first then veggies. At about 7 weeks I would assume your per meal portions are approximately 6oz of total food. You need 60-80 grams of protein per day to be healthy and promote weight loss. If you choose proteins for the first 4oz there won't be enough room to eat the carbs (bread, rice, pasts). Get your good carbs in through veggies. Bread, Rice, Pasta are not helpful to you right now and take up valuable stomach space so avoid as much as you can. When you get to around 8oz of food you can introduce 2oz or carbs as long as you get the 4oz of protein.

I had VSG on 11/25/2013 and just asked my nutritionist about this exact same thing. She told me that 80-90 grams of carbs a day is okay, but to really focus on protein first.

I range from 50-90 carbs a day. 95% or better are from veggies(Not Potato). Potato is not a veggie I avoid all carbs from ground grain. if you focus on your protein and then your veggies sparing only 2 bites for straight carb like potato, bread, noodle-you will have outstanding wt loss. My lean cuisine lunch today was chicken marsala. I ate the meat and veg and dumped the whole grain penne. Pasta is a Kryptonite food for me and I do not need to waste calories on it. sleeved 11-20-13 and have lost 52 lbs. in all likelihood carbs are what led most of us to obesity. Don't worry about carbs in broccoli or beans-they are slow carbs. But I agree with your nutritionist , under 100 is optimum for wt loss.

Mine says no more than 20 carbs per meal is the ideal to shoot for. The one exception they allow is for meals that include Greek Yogurt.

Thinking many of us are in the same boat regarding carbs derived from Pasta, Pizza, Breads, Flours ect. I spoke with my bariatric nurse on this and she still counsels to focus on eating proteins, then veggies, then fruits and you will not have enough room to worry about eating the bad carbs. I really do not even pay attention to the data but I checked back on my MFP carb count for the past few months and I am averaging somewhere between 60 and 100 grams per day. This has been consistant for 2 months and I have shed weight very rapdily since my 9/26 sleeve.
