What is a bariatric diet?
A bariatric diet is a four step process to folllow after having gastric bypass surgery. The patient starts out with liquids and slowly moves back to solid foods over a few weeks to allow the stomach to properly heal. It also allows the patient to adjust to eating at a much lower calorie intake than they did prior to the surgery.
What are the advantages of the bariatric diet plan versus other diets?
The bariatric diet plan is for people that have had bariatric (or weight loss) surgery. It helps people stay on track with their weight loss post-surgery, and makes sure that they do not damage their organs by overeating/straining themselves with food. It is not a good diet plan if you have not had bariatric surgery.
