I am preparing for my gastric sleeve surgery and wanted to know if anyone could tell me what eating is like 6 months or longer after surgery? I have found a lot of information for the first month after surgery but not much for longer term. Thank you!

I'm a little over 13 months post op, down 117 pounds and within 10 of my goal. I eat pretty normally just much smaller portions. I can eat whatever I want but I do avoid foods high in simple carbs. I still will have a treat when I want one, though usually just a bite or two. The only thing I can no longer stomach is eggs.

Thank you! This is very encouraging! Congratulations on your weight loss - I hope I am as successful!

Thank you and best of luck to you! It's certainly a journey but the best thing I have done for myself.

People 6 months or more out... what is your daily intake like in terms of calories and carbs?

I'm 16 months post-op and have been below goal for several months now (6'0" and 173 pounds). I keep my calories between 1900-2000 per day and my carbs below 25 grams per day.
