each doctor is different in what he/she wants the patient to consume. Does your doctor have you in contact with a dietician? That person would be the one to be in touch with. If one of us says to go ahead and have this or that you may harm your pouch. So, your best bet is to be in contact with your doctor or his/her designee to answer your questions.

I agree that you should be asking your surgeon. It's not that any one surgeon has all the right answers. It's more a matter of following what he/she recommends, so that if you do have any problems, they can't blame it on your not following directions. I would definitely ask the surgeon to put you in touch with a good dietician. One who knows WLS and how post-ops should eat can be very, very helpful.

You should have your finger on the phone punching the numbers to your surgeon's office and screaming this to them. No one on here knows how your program is supposed to be. We can tell you about ours but it could be drastically different than what you should be doing.
