The liquid diet is the first stage of the bariatric surgery recovery process. This diet is typically followed for 2-4 weeks after surgery and consists of clear liquids only.

The purpose of the liquid diet is to give your stomach time to heal and to prevent any complications. Clear liquids are easy to digest and will not put any strain on your stomach.

Some examples of clear liquids include:

• Water
• Broth
• Decaf tea
• Coffee
• Gelatin
• Popsicles
• Sugar-free gum

You should avoid drinking any liquids that are carbonated or contain sugar. These liquids can irritate your stomach and cause gas and bloating.

It is important to stay hydrated during the liquid diet. You should drink at least 8-10 glasses of clear liquids per day.

Here are some tips for following the liquid diet:

• Drink small sips of liquid throughout the day.
• Avoid drinking liquids too quickly.
• Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly.
• Avoid lying down after eating or drinking.
• If you experience any nausea or vomiting, stop drinking liquids and call your doctor.

The pureed diet is the second stage of the bariatric surgery recovery process. This diet is typically followed for 2-4 weeks after the liquid diet.

The purpose of the pureed diet is to gradually introduce solid foods back into your diet. Pureed foods are easy to digest and will not put any strain on your stomach.

Some examples of pureed foods include:

• Applesauce
• Mashed potatoes
• Soups
• Yogurt
• Cottage cheese
• Pudding

You should avoid eating any foods that are high in fiber or fat. These foods can irritate your stomach and cause gas and bloating.

It is important to eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly
