Expert nutritional guidance before and after your bariatric procedure
Success after bariatric surgery depends as much on nutrition as on the procedure itself. Here's how the diet typically progresses, phase by phase, so you know what to expect.
Water, broth, sugar-free popsicles, and electrolyte drinks. Sip slowly — no gulping.
Protein shakes, thin yogurt, low-fat milk, and blended soups. Minimum 60g protein daily.
Scrambled eggs, cottage cheese, soft fish, and well-cooked vegetables. Chew thoroughly.
Balanced, protein-first meals. Avoid high-sugar, high-fat, and carbonated beverages permanently.
Following these principles will help you maximize weight loss, prevent complications, and maintain long-term success:
Eat protein first at every meal (aim for 60–80g daily)
Eat slowly and chew thoroughly — 20–30 chews per bite
Stop eating as soon as you feel full — no pushing through
Never drink fluids with meals or for 30 minutes after
Avoid sugar, carbonated drinks, and alcohol permanently
Take your bariatric vitamins daily — for life
Exercise gradually, starting with walking from day one
