Guest guest Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 , I have found that the diet after seems to vary from surgeon to surgeon. I can tell you what mine was... I was on clear liquids from post surgery through 2 weeks later. Then went to full liquids for a week, then baby food (each transition for 1 week) the soft foods and gradually phased in regular foods. My limits on the regular foods were: 2 grms of sugar and 5 grms of fat per " meal " , I had a goal of 65 grms of protein each day. The protein drinks help reach that goal, especially in the beginning. My sugar, fat and protein limits have not changed and I am 1 year post op. I went for 287 and am now at 140 and a size 8!!! I wish you the best. Hopw thishelps!! Tami > Can someone email me the diet plan after gastric bypass surgery so I > can get a better picture of what everyone is talking about.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 Every doctor is different and has a different diet plan. My doctor says protein only until you have lost 75% of your excess weight. Other people have said anything soft......Check with your doctor and nutritionist and see what they want you to do..
