I'm 3 months post op and I would like to know what is your daily carb/calorie intake and what types of food do you eat. Also, those of you who are doing the small meals, how often do you eat and how much do you eat at one sitting?

my doctor told me at 3 mo I should be aiming for 800 calories. I was only allowed 3 meals a day but they added a 4th or an extra protein shake if needed to get me up to 800 which was needed for me.

I'm about at 1,000 calories and 3 to 4 meals per day. Meal size depends on how much dense meat there is. I can eat 3/4 of a Lean C. meal (smaller sized meals) or one very thin slice of bread with PB2 on it. I'm trying to get more fiber in and may settle for a fiber "pre-meal" like green beans or half an apple 30 minutes before my meal. I'm getting real tired of this constipation thing.

I have 3 meals a day with two snacks. One mid morning and one in the evening. But they are not to be more than 900 calories total. I can eat just about anything now as long as I eat slow and take little bites. Meat of all kinds is not problem as long as I don't eat more than about 2.5 ounces at a time. I log everything and plan my meals using MFP. Here is a photo of what I am talking about in meat size 

This is a small paper plate and note the scale says 2.5 ounces. More than that and I will barf most times. I would stay far away from bread of any kind. New research is pointing out that wheat of any kind is really bad for humans.

Currently, I'm getting anywhere from 800-1200 calories a day. I'm getting in between 70-100+g protein a day, as well. I don't really count carbs, per se, but I try to keep sugars on the low end. As for food, I eat just about anything. I'm eating on the clock, so every 3-4 hours I have something. I'm probably eating between 1/2 c. to 3/4 c. of food at any sitting, but some foods, like salad, I can easily eat a cup. Some foods, though, I can only have 1/4 c. like roasted edamame or pistachios. 

EDIT: Here's my typical schedule:

6-7am: Breakfast

10am: Snack or Lunch

2pm: Lunch or snack

5-6pm: Dinner

7:30-8pm: Snack if I feel that I need it.
