Remember a few important rules

• Eat balanced meals.
• Follow the rules for each nutritional phase.
• Monitor your food portions and your calorie and protein intake.
• Eat slowly and chew small bits of food thoroughly.
• Don't use straws, drink sodas or chew ice. They can introduce air into your new stomach and cause discomfort.
• Avoid sugar, foods and drinks that contain sugar, fruit juices, and sodas.

Fluids in the bariatric diet

• Drink water and low- or no-calorie fluids between meals to avoid dehydration. All fluids should be caffeine-free.
• Sip about 1 glass of fluid between each small meal, six to eight times a day.
• We recommend drinking at least 2 liters (8 cups) of fluids a day. Gradually you will be able to reach this goal.
• We strongly caution against drinking any alcoholic beverages. After surgery, alcohol is absorbed into the body much faster than before bariatric surgery.

Learn about meal suggestions for the next phases of dietary management after sleeve gastrectomy. The recipes given are recipes to make, you decide on the portion size yourself and according to the capacity of your new stomach.

This new way of eating may seem complicated at first, but over time most patients find that the guidelines become an unconscious part of their daily routine. If you are having trouble following the guidelines or find them difficult to understand please contact the Baria3 Team at 661300314. Our staff is here to help you.
