Immediately after surgery you are not allowed to consume solid food. You will be on a strictly liquid, usually clear liquids, diet. This usually lasts a week or two. Then there is another week or two of liquid and semi-solid food.

There are different types of gastric bypass surgery, most of which are major abdominal surgery.
