Your Weight Loss Surgery Recipe Board and Diet Guide
What Will My Diet Be Like After Surgery?
· For two weeks after surgery, all of our patients are on a liquid high protein
diet. This helps to prevent complications by allowing your stomach to heal before
it is stressed with more solid food items.
· After two-three weeks, patients progress to a softer diet and eventually regular
food items. The diet is high protein (70 grams/day), low fat (30 grams/day) and
low carbohydrates (40 grams/day). The total calories/day starts at about 600-800.
· By the end of the first year, most patients are consuming about 1000-1200 calories
per day of regular foods. Intolerance of some food items occasionally exists for
some patients.
Over time, you will learn how many calories/day you can consume to achieve
and maintain your goal weight. This varies between men and women, amount of
exercise and your age. Some of our taller, active male patients consume up to
2000 calories per day and are able to maintain their goal weight.
The 30-page Diet Guide we provide you with prior to surgery will help guide
you through the post-operative phases of eating.
Keeping the Weight Off with Post Weight-Loss Surgery Recipes
Our online Recipe Board provides creative, low-calorie meal ideas that conform
to the post weight-loss surgery diet guidelines of the Roux-en-Y, Gastric Bypass,
Gastroplasty, and Morbid Obesity diets. Taking suggestions from our Recipe Board
is a great way to stick to your diet after gastric bypass surgery.
