What to Eat After Gastric Sleeve Surgery

Diet after gastric sleeve surgery progresses in stages to allow the stomach to heal safely. Proper nutrition is essential for recovery and weight loss.

Liquid Diet Phase

The initial phase includes clear liquids and protein-rich fluids. This stage helps prevent dehydration while minimizing stress on the stomach.

Pureed and Soft Foods

After the liquid phase, patients gradually introduce pureed and soft foods. Portion control and slow eating are essential.

Long-Term Eating Habits

Eventually, patients transition to solid foods. A balanced, protein-focused diet supports sustained weight loss and overall health.
