Gastric bypass diet: What to eat after the surgery

Purpose

The gastric bypass diet is designed to:

  • Allow your stomach to heal without being stretched or damaged by the food you eat.
  • Get you used to eating smaller amounts of food that your smaller stomach can comfortably and safely digest.
  • Help you lose weight and avoid gaining the weight back.
  • Avoid common side effects as well as complications from the surgery.
