Stages 1-3 Postoperative
Diet Progression

Important Points

Stage 1: Clear Liquid Diet (1 Week)
It is very important to sip fluids every 15 minutes so that you receive adequate hydration.

Stage 2 : Full Liquid Diet ( 1 Week)
This week will be the same as the previously covered Full Liquid Diet in the 1 week and 2 week  Pre-Operative diet instructions.

Stage 3: Puree diet ( 1 Week)
Around the 3rd week after bariatric surgery, we promote turning protein shakes into smoothies, and getting used to softer foods. This will help get your stomach prepared for getting back to more normal eating habits
