post op carbs

Did you guys worry about carbs post op?

I am on full liquids and can have pureed stuff. I feel like Im eating a lot of carbs but I'm just trying to get nutritious food in. For example for lunch today I had a quarter of a baked sweet potatoe pureed with soy milk and powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup mix (tasted better than it sounds).

In 7 says I go on a soft diet and I kind of figured that would be the time to start counting carbs since I will be able to have fish and eggs and what not.

What did you guys do?

I didn't really worry about carbs during the first couple of weeks. My surgeons main concern was hydration. He didn't even push the Protein thing, it was about staying hydrated and walking.

I started seriously watching carbs once on mushy/soft solids. I didn't really do a lot of heavy carb full liquids, but I wasn't taking much in at all.

between my chewable vitamine, calcium chews, benfiber, Omega3 chews etc... I get a LOT of carbs. I think the benefiber powder doesn't have carbs... I've been chewing the pellets. I may be getting to the point where I can take pills and eliminate some of the chewables but man they are packed with sugar.
