Diet of Bariatric Surgery or Weight Loss Surgery

Diet of Bariatric Surgery or Weight Loss Surgery 

• Patients would be started on to solid food in about 2 weeks after surgery.
• At this time the patient will be instructed to start a soft diet, in 60ml, portions, focusing on eating proteins.

• The diet will be advanced slowly so that the patient may add new foods every 1-2 week for the first 8 weeks.
• At the end of 2 months the patient will be able to try new foods, in small amounts. Around 6 month after surgery, the patient should be able to eat a child-sized meal.
• There are some foods like those high in sugar that could cause "dumping syndrome" and patients should avoid them, these include-

1. Sweetened sodas
2. Ice cream

• There may be some foods like bread that patients may not tolerate initially after the surgery but would be able to eat several months later.
• Every patient will need to find what foods they best tolerate during the different phases of their weight loss process.
