The article offers information on the diet of patients who had bariatric surgery. Following the Roux-en-Y procedure, patients initially are restricted to clear liquids early after the surgery, drinking frequently to prevent dehydration. The patient can begin to ingest other fluids, then pureed foods, and, finally, solid food as the pouch stretches and the surgical site heals. The patient's diet progresses from clear liquids for the first 1 to 2 days to nutrient-rich meal replacement drinks. |
