Postoperative gastric bypass meals must be less, smaller, and
more frequent than the larger, heavier, spaced out meals that
patients were eating before. Most of the time, patients were used
to eating heavy huge meals one or two times a day, but this has to
change to eating smaller meals at more frequent intervals. Eating
too few calories can interfere with metabolism so patients must
learn to eat breakfast and then eat four or five smaller meals a
day after that. This new dietary change might cause behavioral
changes, but they work out to help the patient change his
lifestyle. Doctors suggest this is a good regimen.
