What you can & cannot eat/drink, the stages per Nutritionist...Stage 1 CLEAR LIQUIDS!

This is the diet that is recommend by Dr. Felix's office 5 - 7 days after surgery, it was in a pamphlet that was given to us in the nutrition class.  Thought it might even be helpful for those of you who are "considering" surgery or for those of you who have already had surgery but were not sure EXACTLY what you are allowed to drink/eat.




Gastric Bypass Diet - Stage 1 (Days 5 - 7)
Clear Liquids


This diet is recommended to allow healing time and permit a gradual return to semi-solid foods.  You will be on the clear liquid diet for approximately 5-7 days, your physician may advance you after 5 days if you are tolerating it well.  It is necessary to consume 6-8 cups of liquid a day to prevent dehydration.
