After bariatric surgery eating patterns of patient changes. Initially after surgery the main goal is to meet fluid and protein needs from a liquid protein diet. As the diet progresses to variety of foods which are low in sugar and fat, it will meet the nutrition needs better for long term health. It is vital to follow diet progression to maximize healing and minimize risk for complications.
