What's a good diet for someone to follow if they've recently undergone gastric sleeve surgery and they need to intake 600 calories per day?

Sleeve diet : 600 calories is far too low for daily nutritional requirements. Yes it will make you lose weight but that is because it is starvation. You need around 1000 calories at a minimum. Most of your intake should be protein, veggies, fruits and only a small amount of carbohydrates.
