A bariatric diet is a diet, usually coupled with bariatric surgery. Bariatric diets are very healthly and in very small portions. This is because bariatric surgery staples off part of the stomach to make it smaller, therefore requiring smaller meals.
People are placed on a pre-bariatric diet to make sure they are healthy enough for the surgery and also to increase their chances of success post op. A wonderful guide to a pre surgery diet can be found here: http://www.bariatricchoice.com/pre-op-bariatric-diet-for-bariatric-gastric-bypass-surgery-patients.aspx
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.
After bariatric bypass surgery, it is important to follow a strict bariatric bypass diet. The body needs time to heal after surgery and a specific nutritional intake is essential to the healing process. Vitamins, minerals and proteins are the most important aspects of a healthy diet. A bariatric bypass diet should include a sufficient amount of protein. However, directly after bariatric bypass surgery, it is difficult to consume the recommended amount of protein through whole foods. During the first month after surgery, a liquid protein supplement should be consumed on a daily basis to fulfill protein requirements.
