What should my diet consist of?. I haven't a clue what I should be eating for continued success.

I live in Rep of Ireland and I had open RNY surgery on 5th July 2000 in UK, it has not been done in this country yet. As of 10 weeks post op I am down 70lbs (was 373-now 303), I am delighted with this but I think I've had my free ride, so to speak now, from the surgery, and I realise I must work with this tool now, but I haven't a clue what I should be eating for continued success. My surgeon was very good technically but when it came to after surgery eating the advice given was "eat what you can, when you can, you won't be able to eat much anyway so there's no need to count anything". I've done that until now and got away with it. But now I'm able to eat quite a bit more than a few weeks ago of course, so I'd like to know of any advice on exercise and how much I should be doing, how much protein/cals/carbs/fat etc. I wouldn't have known that I should be doing this until I read all the great feedback from people in USA on this site.If anyone knows of any literature and low cal protein shake mixes that I can buy online I'd be so grateful. There are no support groups anywhere in this country nor can I find any informative reading matter on this. Many thanks for this excellent site. Helen Burton email [email protected]
