Liquid Diet for Gastric Bypass

A liquid diet for gastric bypass is required in the first months following bypass surgery. If the thought of eating pureed or strained food does not appeal to you, try liquid protein shakes. Shakes should contain at least 10 grams of protein and fewer than 10 grams of sugar in each eight-ounce serving. The calorie count will fall between 90 and 120, no matter what the brand. Since your stomach will hold only a small amount of food or liquid, expect to take a long time consuming an eight-ounce shake. Many gastric bypass patients continue drinking shakes long-term to maintain protein intake while keeping calorie count low.
