Gastric Bypass Diet - Stage 2 (Days 5-8) - FULL LIQUIDS!

Gastric Bypass Diet - Stage 2 (Days 5-8)
Full Liquids

This diet provides foods that are easy to consume and digest.  It is recommended that you continue to consume foods that are at room temperature, caffeine-free, non-carbonated and sugar-free to avoid discomfort.  You will be on the full liquid diet approximately 2-3 days.

Per the Nutritionist, SOME foods are best cold.  They help sooth the stomach and cooler foods are less smelly which help with nausea.


*NOTE: You may not be able to tolerate milk or milk products following a gastric surgery due to the lactose (milk sugar).  If you have complaints of gas, bloating or diarrhea after drinking milk, remove from your diet for now.  You may introduce it slowly after 3-4 months and check for intolerance.

MEAL IDEA.....**Mix protein supplements into beverages or broth / Mix non-fat dairy milk powder into cereals or soups for extra protein.
