I am surprised no one has responded to this post. I would like to

state that this advice is not for post-ops of less those six months.

This is the time you need to maximize your protein and water intake

and limit your carbs and sugar.

The answer is yes you can eat more, not a whole lot more at first,

but you will end up with a bigger capacity. Yes you can eat some

sugar, the key here is some. I am 9 months post-op and I eat a sweet

every day, no, this is not a good habit, but I am human and I did not

get obese by making good choices all the time. The DS is an amazing

surgery. It can take someone like me with all my poor eating habits

lose weight. I do however, take my supplements everyday, I do eat all

my protein, and I drink at least 2 quarts of water everyday.

I think that sometimes people feel like they've answered a particular

question a bunch of times and are just plain worn out. People should

absolutely keep asking questions, but if no one answers, don't give up!! )

Ask again!!

I will try to be better about answering questions to which I know the

answers since I am so thankful when people answer *my* pesky questions.
