I am a little more than 2.5 years and i eat all kinds of carbs, including the bad ones like cake, ice cream, cookies, doughnuts, bagels, chips, taco shells, salsa, pb & j, potatoes of all kinds, pasta and rice, cereal and veggies of all kinds. I probably have 150-200 carbs a day. If it starts being a problem i will cut back so far I am okay.
I didn't eat anywhere near that amount the first 6-9 months because I didn't really want them and I wasn't eating all that much overall.
I don't recommend anybody following my diet because of my absorption issues, but as I tell people I had the surgery to live and eating is a big part of that. I don't care if I'm a few extra pounds over my ideal if it means I am enjoying myself. That being said if I see I put on an extra 20 or 30 pounds I will dial it back.
