Macros

Hello! I had sleeve surgery 2 weeks ago. Eating soft foods and was interested in if anyone knew what our macros should look like. Right now mine is set to:
1200 calories per day (making about 400)
50% Carb
30% Fat
20% Protein
Pretty sure that isn't right and really not even sure I'm eating enough or to much. I burp if I seem like I'm full. Trying to stay in 3 Oz capacity of food. Any and all help would be great even if you don't mind sharing food diaries

I was sleeved 3/20/17 so i'm on pretty "normal" food now though a half cup is about my max. Talk to the NUT at your surgeon's office to be sure, but I think you should up your protein and set percentages to at least P/F/C 40/25/35. At 990 calories a day that works out to 99g protein, 28g fat and 87g carbs (I'm not eating that many carb, but i could)
I keep my MFP diary open to friends; I'll send you a friend request if you want to peek
I've only been seriously logging the last week or so but plan to continue from now on.
If you're on Facebook check out the groups "My Bariatric Kitchen & Living Healthy Nutrition" and "My Bariatric Kitchen" - the linked recipe group. They are run by a nutritionist that also had WLS. She wants you to pay for courses, but there are sample menus and recipes you can see for different meals. Also acts as a support group, lots of opinions and advice. That's where I got the Macro info and how to set MFP, try this link; https://issuu.com/mybariatrickitchen/docs/how_to_set_up_my_fitness_pal
And I burp ALOT now, especially when I'm full!3 -
Thank you so much glad to have you as a friend1
