The diet bariatric surgery should be very strict. It should not contain excess amounts of sugar or fat. The diet might have included sugary sodas, candies, sweets, and brownies before, but that should not be the case after bariatric surgery. The calories will put the weight back on, they will be empty calories and not contain any vitamins or minerals, and they will encourage retaining weight because they don't make bowel movements as effective. Lots of fiber in the form of whole grains, flaxseed, bananas, and apples would be good substitutes. Eat ample amounts of protein after surgery for wound healing.
