Anyone around 9 months post-op? What are your macros?

I am 2 years out and I don't count macros, but if I did I would be shooting for 50-70g protein, under 20g total carbs, and as much fat to keep me satiated (probably 50-90g) to maintain my current weight of 122-124 lb.

When losing weight immediately post-op, it makes sense to focus on keeping protein high so you minimize your loss of lean muscle mass. Ideal macros for rapid post-op weight loss would be under 1000 calories per day, 1.5 grams of lean animal protein per kilogram of ideal bodyweight, very little fat and virtually no carbs. This is known as a protein sparing modified fast and is great for short term rapid fat loss.
