Can a diabetic lifestyle diet be maintained after WLS?

When I was diagnosed as Type 2 diabetic, the good dr. said first, stop eating sugar and second, cut way back on the carbs and third ...exercise. I've managed to do that, and after a couple of years of the no sugar, no white flour and very few carbs, I find that I really enjoy (really...I do...)the 'diet'. And I have been told that 97% of my diabetic symptoms will eventually disappear after WLS. Fine, but can I still safely adhere to the no sugar, no white flour etc. and still maintain a healthy lifestyle in general? If I had to start eating sugar again, i think that it would just make me sick, it does now, whenever I cheat just a tad every few months. I keep up with s/f protien bars and drinks, but I haven't seen this addressed yet on a long term basis. Thanks for any insight anyone has on this.
