You don't miss the carbs after surgery. in the beginning you can not get bread down and would your really be drinking or eating sugary foods?
At 3 months a typical day for me is the following:
Protein shake 3 carbs
Greek yogurt 5 carbs
chicken breast or tuna lunch,, after a few bites of the meat there is no room for bread or much else
Protein shot 0 carbs
chicken or turkey for dinner and maybe a bite or two of broccoli.
There really is just not a lot of room and you want to put quality calories in, not ones with carbs that will raise your blood sugar and slow weight loss.
While you may think you will miss food, the fact is you are so totally full that you will not miss it.

Ok hold it, I am just about 4 weeks out and this thing about never enjoying a meal again???? Bull! Crap!!!! I went to a holiday party and I enjoyed what I ate! Mind you it was in VERY small portions, but IT WAS GOOD! I had a tsp of refried Beans with guacamole , a piece of cheese of the lasagna, a piece of chicken of a chicken breast and 2 of the most heavenly scalloped potato slices ever!!!! No mind you it took me about a half hour to eat that POST VSG smorgasbord but it was the best! I enjoyed it and and was so full that I was not the least bit tempted by one single holiday goodie laying around!
Ps when I say piece of, I mean like not even a tsp of it.

Ear Plugs. They saved my sanity. The hospital was so loud and noisy as well as my room mate her family.
I sent my husband out for the gas ex strips, nose spray and tweezers( something about surgery sent my few annoying facial hairs to grow overtime)
I did need my robe, but stayed in the hospital gowns and used the slipper socks they put on me before surgery.
They gave me a cough bear that they put a tshirt on with the hospital logo and the name Bari Bear on it. (not sure if I like that bariatic term on it) and it was huge in helping walking and getting up and coughing.
