I think most WLS patients have to watch what they eat for the rest of their lives. Do you track calories, carbs, Protein, fat, etc? Most people track on their phones and keep under a certain calorie/carb level.

Other than that you have to play with it. Some people can eat all things in moderation. Others eat almost no carbs. If you track you will be able to see which foods help you keep the weight off and which ones don't.

You have to kind of figure it out for yourself, because everyone is different. However you nutritionist should be able to give you a meal plan. If you are paying them, fire them, they are useless.

Most long term successful people eat low carb. I eat keto. I use a calculator to set my macro requirements. I eat foods I like that fit my macros and the keto way of eating.

Once you are healed how you eat is up to you.

Still your nutritionist really makes me angry. They should be able to give you real suggestions. That is their job

I have a good dietician. I know I can't eat bread, fried foods. Real sweet things. No sodas... I can really Protein foods, baked or grilled meats, steamed veggies , 2 hard crackers. I was given a booklet...

Your nutritionist should give you some clear guidelines for maintenance. If they haven't ask.

Maintenance is not that much different from weight loss. I stick to my original diet and up my calories a few hundred by adding whole grains, more fresh fruit and veggies.

I still have a high Protein, lower carb fully balanced diet.
