Calorie: 600-800 depeneding on amount of exercise
Liquids: 64oz at minimum
Carbs:   40gms or less a day

Proteins: 70g or more a day
Meal goals: 3 meals a day

Sample meal:

Shannon,
Thank you for sharing this with us.
As we know , each doctor has different proticols for each type of surgery and their practice.

I am 7 years postop as of May 27th this year .
I can tell you what my protocol was when I first got started ,

3 MEALS A DAY AND 1 SNACK
WATER - 90 OUNCES OR MORE
PROTEIN - DOCTOR REQUESTED 50 TO 70 .. HOWEVER I DID 120 GRAMS OF PROTEIN...
CARBS - 2O TO 40
SUGAR , NO MORE THAN 4 GRAMS PER SERVING
FATS - 20 GRAMS

 I started my day wtih a protein shake , ( NECTAR ) 
When I reached soft stage ... my breakfast consited of one poached egg - yogurt or cottage cheese
Lunch - lentil or bean soup .. blended till mushy 1/2 cup or more cottage cheese or greek yogurt mixed with Sugar Free Jello pudding ,
Dinner - LOW FAT REFRIED BEANS (  I made them from scratch ) 
Mushed up Sweet Potatoes .. ( Sweet potatoes are lower in carbs than normal potatoes ) I also made them from scratch.
Home made cheese nips ..( you take 2 ounces of Low fat cheddar cheese, put it in a non stick skillet.. and let it melt and harden.

My snack consisted of yogurt , cottage cheese , or sugar free ice cream .. low fat and sugar free.
I also would freeze the yogurt and make a frozen treat.
I sipped on water all day...
And after my evening work out , I would do another protein shake.

If you need or want any recipes , feel free to email me .
Keep in mind , my diet was for an RNY patient ...

Agan , thanks for sharing ,

 At my 2month follow-up my doctor changed my protein intake to 120g a day since I work out...I think its helping me lose more weight!!  I would love some recipies!!  Especially ones that I can make in advance then eat on the go--which seems like I am always doing!!
