CARBS...the good, the bad and the ugly...

[Guest guest]

Hi there,

I know we all had this surgery so we didn't have to count calories,

carbs, fat, etc...HOWEVER, I'm a compulsive counter and want some

info from my fellow DSers...

For those of you who need to fill up your brain with tedious details

like I do, do you count your carbs daily? If so, what is the number

you try to stay around...I know we don't need carbs

nutritionally...(though the fiber in the dense carbs help with the

consistency of our " special " poops...)and I know we absorb a huge

percentage of them...

SO, what should I be shooting for on a daily basis?

I tend to crave them just like I did prior to surgery. I want to make

sure I don't totally deprive myself, but stay in a moderate area of

consumption. I am great about protein, vitamins, water and

such...just need some assistance.

I can't wait to hear from you...

Be well,
