Hey all... Question for people who are further out on their journey (I was sleeved 12/2 so still in liquid phase obviously). Prior to the surgery I had done a or of research into low carb. And it seems like post op low carb is recommended, though not necessarily called that by my surgeon at least. Do you find that you're eating differently than you did before in terms of choices, not just quantity of food? Are you trying to watch carbs? Calories? Both? Also, what are the foods that sleeved people typically can't tolerate post surgery? I had a lap band in 2008 (was removed in Jan '13 after slipping) and I remember I couldn't tolerate salad, shrimp, and some other things I'm sure. How about with the sleeve?

I did both...pureed a bunch of soups, cooked veggies, and tuna fish. But also ate refried beans, soft scrambled eggs, soft cheeses, mashed potatoes with unflavored protein powder, guacamole, hummus and tons of plain Greek Yogurt flavored with protein powder. And of course continued with my protein shakes.

I was told to eat between 1,000 and 1,200 calories a day . At least 60 grams of protein at least 60-80 grams of carb and no more than 140 grams of carbs.

Awesome! I did exactly that- picked out potatoes and also tomatoes which was easy cause they were in huge chunks. And now I've got 6 meals in the freezer ready to go. Should have done more, but I ran out of little teeny 3oz containers. Love the idea of being prepared with healthy and suitable options though!
