Learn about the diet after Laporoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
Shortly after your surgery, you will begin your first sips of clear liquids. You will stay on
low-calorie clear liquids for 2 more days. These fluids include broth, sugar-free gelatin,
decaffeinated tea, diluted apple juice, water and flavored beverages such as Crystal Light or Diet
Snapple. You will be reminded to sip your fluids slowly as your new stomach structure heals.
On your third day post-surgery, you will follow our nutritionist’s instructions for progressing to pureed
foods, such as soft eggs, hot cereal, pureed meats and vegetables, pureed fruit and yogurt. You will be
on this diet for just a few days, and then you will begin soft, regular-textured foods. A food
plan will be provided, with 3 small meals, plus between-meal supplementation with a calcium- and
protein-rich drink such as Carnation Instant Breakfast. You will be advised to
take a multivitamin/mineral supplement daily.
