Gastric Bypass Surgery Dietary Considerations

Having a different sized (smaller) stomach has impacts on how much food the person can eat. There are special diets that a patient recuperating from gastric bypass surgery follows. The diet of the post operative patient is now so important for his nutrition.

Nutritional supplements are often recommended following this form of surgery. There are people who have undergone the surgery reporting a reduction in weight of as much as 50 to 60 percent a year after the intervention. There are even some who would report an incredible 80% weight loss. However, it is still possible for patients to stretch their stomachs and have that large size again. There is still a possibility of getting back those lost pounds. That is why doctors would recommend dietary restrictions and exercise plant that would keep the pounds away.
