I'am no expert, but you should still be only eating proteins. Not anything else...till you lose 75% of your weight that is what my Doctor has told me.

Can you tell us what you ARE eating/drinking and which items you avoid? What is your vitamin/supplement regimen? Water?

My doctor suggests that we get 60% of our calories from protein with the rest from fruit, veggies and a very few simple carbs. At 10 weeks post-op he told me to eat between 1000 and 1400 calories a day. I really don't count anything but my protein grams - I get from 50 - 70g of protein a day and the rest is mostly fresh veggies and fruit. I do not eat bread (I eat wheat thins occasionally)and only rarely do I eat potatos or rice. I NEVER eat pasta as it makes me very ill. I am six months post-op and have lost 116 pounds.

according to my nutritionist i am supposed to get in 40-60 grams of protien a day. My other guide lines are nothing with more than 5 grams of fat and 10 grams of sugar. I see her again for my post op follow up this week i am going to ask her about the carb thing. I basically eat protiens. I do get in a rice cake (well 1/4 of one is all i can hold lol) or a cracker everynow and then. I do try to get my protien in with food and milk though. I eat about 3/4 of a protien bar for the rest of it. I eat this thru out the day in tiny bits.
