What is the healthy Carb limit per day

[Colopatiron]

Does anyone know what the healthy limit is for Carbs per day? I have gone for 100g of protein per day but can't find much info on any other limits. I am just preparing food and menus for when I have my bypass in 10 days time not that I am counting the days!! Just wish it would come now, even if it's to get off of the milk diet. I am STARVING and it is taking every ounce of willpower to stick to it:sigh::sigh: I know it will be worth it in the end but boy what a drag.

Love Sue

I dont know the answer but what a great question.

Good luck with your op, and the end of the milk diet will be here before you know it. xx

I asked the question before and never found the answer. I have tried googling and found some interesting info and the only amount for 100g's per day comes from a pre op diet. How can you not eat too many carbs if you don't know how many you should be eating? Baffling!
Anyway here are some links I found.

Thanks Daisy and Kat, the links were great Daisy, if I have read them right the limit is 60g Carbs per day.

Well spotted if you found that! I missed it, the only one I could find was 100g on the pre op diet, quite a bit less then post op

I have been waivering between 30-50g carbs per day post op... before my op I lost 4 stone by doing Atkins on 20g carbs per day, so low carb has been in my blood for 15 months now & I do feel better on it.

Make sure you drink planty of water when low carbing as you need to flush ketones out. x
