Good carbs/bad carbs! How much is OK?

I'm 2 1/2 months post-op, and only down 35 pounds. Before surgery, I was a diabetic on 2 oral meds. I was taken off meds since surgery and just now gettting consistant "normal" glucose readings each day. I've been trying to avoid carbs, but I find myself wanting them. I'm doing well getting in all my liquid and most of the time, 70-90 grams of protien each day. I'm also walking a mile each day. However, I'm just loosing slow. Could you share with me how many carbs you average in a day? I know realistically I can't do the "no" carbs, but how much is OK. I'm pretty sure I'm eating about 60 grams a day (about 20 per meal). Most important, please tell me the difference between good carbs and bad ones. Thanks so much! :)
