what can I eat?
From what I understand you should be aiming for sub 40 grams of carbs, even a year out.... but it Honestly depends on your level of activily. A person that's running 5ks all the time and/or lifting heavy, will need a bit more of healthy carbohydrates than a more sedentary person. I'd ask my Nutritionist for a more accurate number...
It is basically a personal and/or physician's choice - surgeons' plans are all over the map on this, though the low carb/less than 40g plan is popular at the moment; I averaged 2-3 times that through my loss phase without any problems. The sleeve has little in the way of dietary requirements and responds well to most any approach that is workable without WLS. Generally, simple carbs/sugars are minimized with most plans with complex carbs being preferred, but even that can be flexible depending upon individual energy requirements.
