What to Expect After Bariatric Surgery
Summary
Following bariatric surgery, you'll be on a restricted diet starting with clear liquids like broth, water, and gelatin. It might take up to two weeks before you can tolerate thicker liquids such as shakes or instant breakfast drinks. This is due to significant changes in your digestive system, affecting your appetite and tastes.Post-Surgery Diet
After bariatric surgery, your diet will initially be very limited. You'll start with clear liquids such as broth, water, and gelatin. This phase can feel extended, as it may take up to two weeks before you can handle thicker liquids like shakes or instant breakfast drinks.
These dietary restrictions are necessary because of the major adjustments made to your digestive tract. As your stomach and intestines heal, you might experience a lack of hunger and find that previous favorites are no longer appealing.
Staying Hydrated
Many patients have difficulty finding liquids that are palatable post-surgery. Staying hydrated is crucial, so experimenting with different drinks and flavorings is key. Some people find they can only tolerate cold or room-temperature water initially, moving to flavored drinks after about two months.
Changes in Food Preferences
Your taste in foods can change drastically. Some patients find fats and carbs intolerable, as even small amounts can trigger dumping syndrome. Others struggle with salads and vegetables due to their fiber content and the raw texture being harsh on the healing stomach and esophagus.
To gradually reintroduce salads, start with plain lettuce coated in oil, adding one vegetable at a time. Always remember to chew thoroughly.
Overall, adapting to these changes requires patience and experimentation to discover what works best for your new dietary needs.
