When you start your weight loss journey, you might have questions about what you can eat, how much you can eat and how to keep losing weight successfully.

Explore answers to some of the most common bariatric surgery nutrition questions below.

Can I have mushy foods on my liquid diet before surgery?

No. The liquid diet is designed to be very low in carbohydrates and fat to force your body to use the fat stores it already has. This helps your body use the fat in your liver and shrinks the liver before surgery. For maximum fat loss, you should avoid any foods, even mushy foods.

Can I have other drinks besides what is listed on the Preoperative Liquid Protein diet?

No. Other than protein supplements, you should only drink calorie-free or low-calorie drinks, such as water, flavored waters, sugar-free gelatin and/or broth. You should also only use skim or one percent milk to control calorie and fat intake.

When can I stop diluting fruit juice?

What is a "slider food?"

A slider food is any food with a soft, mushy texture. These foods "slide" right through your pouch without leaving you feeling full. Examples include:

Applesauce

Ice cream

Mashed potatoes

Pudding

Simple white carbohydrates like pretzels and crackers

Soup

Sugar-free gelatin

You should only eat these foods rarely after you complete your diet progression.

Once I finish my diet progression, can I have more kinds of food than what are listed in my book?

Yes, within reason. You must continue to choose foods and beverages that are sugar-free, have no added sugar and are low-fat.

How many calories, carbohydrates and fat am I supposed to have?

Right after your surgery, you should focus on meeting your protein, fluid, vitamin and mineral goals. A year after your gastric bypass surgery, sometimes sooner for gastric band and vertical sleeve patients, a good diet has about 1,000 to 1,200 calories per day. You should get 35 percent to 55 percent of calories from carbohydrates, 25 percent to 35 percent of calories from protein and 20 percent to 30 percent of calories from fat. We recommend keeping an electronic food record to figure out if your diet is meeting these nutrition guidelines.
