I would think some vegetables would help you more than anything. Good luck!

I guess I'm doing "semi low carb". I eat 1 or 2 servings of fruit most days, and try to choose the whole-grain/complex carbs when I have carbs. I have been keeping my carb load around 80g a day. I've lost 41 lbs and am at 7 weeks post op. Loss is starting to slow, but is still going. My surgeon is good with this plan, she doesn't like to cut out any food groups, just said to stay away from sugar and refined carbs.

I don't avoid carbs, I avoid highly processed or refined carbs (bread, Pasta, rice, sugar). But I eat plenty of fruit, Beans and lentils.

I average about 80g-90g a day. Sometimes as high as 110g-115g. I have lost extremely fast, so I can't imagine the carbs slowed my weight loss at all. I've lost 162lbs in a little less than 8 months.

Good vegetables to get moving are: cauliflower, broccoli, brussel sprouts. They are low carb with plenty of Fiber.< /p>

Oh, and apples are a good fruit, loads of fiber as well.

I was low carb/ketosis until I got to goal. Now is am sort of low carb. Veggies and fruit are on the menu. Even the occasional potato. I still do not eat wheat, rice, bread, Pasta, added sugar or highly processed foods.

      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.
