For my team, 3 weeks post op was purees. So I was on 60-90 grams of Protein a day made up of:

Protein Shakes

pureed meats

Scrambled eggs

Yogurt

Ricotta cheese

tuna or chicken salad

Mashed black Beans or other beans

Hummus

My only goals at that point were eating my 60-90 grams of protein and getting in 64 ounces of Water daily. I was allowed anything less than 5 grams of sugar a serving. sugar free Jello or pudding and popsicles. I could barely eat half a scrambled egg in one sitting at three weeks

My nutritional limits are the following:

1) Carbs - Stay under 25g

2) Fat - Stay under 15g

3) Sugar - Stay under 15g

This was also catered to me from my Nutritionist. Every one is different though.

Rule of thumb. You should have 5g of Protein to every 1g of carbs. The more lean protein you intake the less carbs, sugars and fat you will intake as well.

An overage day for me is:

1) 50 - 70g of protein

2) 10g - 15g of carbs

3) 5 - 10g of fat

4) 5 - 10g of sugar

I hope this helps.

that early out, we were told to only focus on Protein and fluids.

once you're out a little further, a lot of programs severely limit carbs, but not all programs. Many also require you to get at least 60 grams of protein. I don't think all that many have fat requirements. You won't be eating much food during those early months, so once you get your protein in, you won't have a lot of room for much else. Once I got out a few months, I started counting calories, but not fats specifically.

I had to be on Protein Drinks for 2weeks preop and 4 weeks postop. I was able to have broth SF popcicles and SF pudding but after I made sure that I got as much Protein and fluids in I never had any room for anything else. But those are the 2 things my DR told all of his patients: PROTEIN AND MORE PROTEIN!! Lots of fluids because we can get dehydrated quickly.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).

      Just wondering if any of the Type 2 Diabetics also have there blood glucose go high when having only a Premier Protein drink for breakfast?  How does Premier Protein compare to BOOST Glucose Control in your experience?
