What About My Diet After Surgery?

The diet after weight loss surgery is a very important piece of the weight loss surgery process.  

 

You will meet regularly with the dietitian before and after surgery to help you understand the diet in detail.  

 

You will progress through a series of dietary stages ranging from liquids to soft foods to solids.  This diet progression will ensure that you are eating safely and nutritiously. 

 

You will also be required to take a multivitamin and calcium supplement every day after your surgery. 

 

Each patient will receive a detailed dietary packet outlining the postoperative diet and vitamin recommendations.
