Progress is determined by the patients ability to tolerate each level. Once they are eating a full solids diet, gastric bypass patients should try to eat foods that have high protein as well as high nutrient value.

The gastric bypass patient need to follow his/her doctor's diet instructions carefully in order to avoid pain, nausea and other gastrointestinal difficulties.
