I think , like most things, it is primarily dependent on your individual body size.  I eat a vew low sugar, low fat, and moderately low carb diet - and I track everything on Myfitnesspal.com which automatically gives me the totals for each item - cals, carbs, fats, sugars.  Highly rec. it as a great (free) food  and exercise journal - tells me exactly where I am.

Almost anything I eat has to be below 5 for sugars and 5/6 for fats per serving; I rarely count carbs, they just fall in-line, however, some on here are real anti-carb Nazis - me, I want a bit of potato, rice, etc. in my diet - not much, but some. And I want fresh fruit in moderation.   I do, however, stay completely away from bread, most pasta, all crackers, except maybe 5 saltines w/soup.  My dietitian is one who believes each of us should have a well-balanced array of foods we like - that's the reason we chose the sleeve in the first place, right?

 Thanks for the information.  That is what I normally look for, too.  I haven' t gotten to where I can eat fruits and veggies unless they are pureed but in a few more weeks I will be there.  I am so looking forward to soft foods and tunafish! lol 

Have a wonderful week,
