Way too many carbs for a WLS patient!
Not every WLS patient is a carbophobic...
Sure, but the highly-successful ones tend to be :)

It's really nice that you've decided to make a difference to your diet and eat healthy snacks. I usually bring snacks to work or make them for dinner party as they are delicious and really easy to make. Especially tomato chrostini recipe is my favourite one.
.
I did one last week with great success:
World's Best Pork Roast
2 - 2 1/2 lbs pork roast
1 cup chicken or bone broth
1 recipe for World's Best Pork Rub https://www.yummly.com/recipe/Pork-Roast-With-The-Worlds-Bes t-Pork-Loin-Rub-2130602
Mix all of the seasonings in a large (gallon size) ziploc bag and shake well. Add the pork and let sit in the refrigerator all day or overnight.
Using saute setting on your IP/CPE and brown on each side searing about 3 minutes on each side. Add broth, and close pressure valve and set to high pressure for 55 minutes. Release steam valve, remove pork to a cutting board and let it rest 5 minutes then slice.
Footnote: Don't be afraid of the sugar it actually sounds like a lot but the carb count is actually about 20 gm.

Not sure if this was posted as I just made it up myself yesterday. I am 5 weeks and 6 days Post-Op and 1 week on the soft foods stage.
I basically took canned chicken, my favorite jar pasta sauce with a fairly low sugar, and shredded mozzarella cheese and microwaved it. It was actually really good, protein packed, and not many calories for a meal.
Ingredients:
1 Can chicken breast - 3oz-(there is 90cal per 3oz)
Shredded Mozzarella (1/8Cup) - 40cal
jar of your favorite pasta sauce(my jar had 80 calories per 1/2C serv.)
Directions:
Open the can of chicken and drain. weigh out 3oz in your microwave safe bowl.
To the bowl of chicken add enough pasta sauce to cover the chicken.
Then top with the shredded mozzarella. I then like to add just a couple spoons of sauce to the top of the mozzarella so it doesn't burn.
Place a paper towel over the bowel and microwave for about 120 seconds. or less depending on how big your microwave is. Careful the bowl will be hot if using a non plastic bowl.
Enjoy! Bon Appetit
Notes:I used a 6oz can of chicken, But I only used 3oz of chicken. I refrigerated the rest for another meal/day. Also for the Mozzarella cheese it will be more exact if you use the grams setting on your food scale and measure 14g.

This may be fine for you as you have posted you are following weigh****chers. But for those of us that are sticking too our weight loss surgery way of eating this is not a good choice. Thank you for sharing and we will agree to disagree

Your opinion on the carb limit doesn't matter; patients should listen to their doctors' recommendations, not your personal opinions.
This may be healthier than other carrot cakes, but that doesn't mean that ANY carrot cake is a good option for someone who has had bariatric surgery :)

It does not sound like you know the latest studies and research. Good luck with your "healthy" vegan diet. That may work for some people but not most IMO.
What is also very interesting is that slot if vegans try to push their beliefs on others. As in "if others do what I do it must be right". It is almost like a cult, personal beliefs pushed on others. I personally don't care if you eat or don't eat meat or animal proteins.
I know my body, my life, and your insulting comments that "you were not on real healthy vegan diet" are just that: personal attack. You don't consider people may be sensitive to food items, or get sick when they follow what you consider "optimum diet".
What religion you belong to? Scientology?
I am done trying to explain to you that some diets work for some people. You do your vegan diet, and make sure you supplement Vitamins and minerals your diet is missing.
