I feel like I am eating too many carbs and fat. What is your limit on carbs? What is your typical daily menu?

I try not to overthink it - but I usually try to eat nothing with more than 10g of carbs and 10g of sugar.

I'm with UTgal. I don't really put a lot of thought into it. I know it's not much. I'd think I do about 10g a day

I try and limit carbs to 40-50 grams a day and I get those from my low fat dairy products, veggies & occasionally a little bit of a whole grain bread product.

today:

breakfast- egg scrambled with turkey sausage & 1 tbsp of potato (I usually use mushrooms but I was out)

lunch- small piece of meatloaf (3 oz) and 1/4 cup green Beans

afternoon- 2 oz cheese & 5 grapes

dinner- (work function that was an appetizer and wine tasting event) 1 baby crab cake (1 inch across), 1 piece of salmon (maybe an oz), 1 deviled egg, 1 piece grilled asparagus, 1 piece of grilled egg plant, 1 brownie bite (don't judge- I wanted the whole dang plate of them). No wine because I don't know my capacity yet.

evening- feeling a bit hungry so I topped off my Protein with 3 oz cooked chicken with some salsa over it. (left overs from yesterday)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
