For the long term success of bariatric surgery, all procedures need dietary and lifestyle modification. At our center, we consider Gastric Sleeve Surgery as the best physiological procedure for weight loss. We usually recommend it to the patients who are disciplined and are willing to change their lifestyle and eating behaviors post surgery. Patients, especially who are very foody and are not ready to modify their lifestyle or eating habits, can fail this procedure and may gain weight a few years post surgery. However, in countries like Australia and New Zealand it is a very popular weight loss procedure and patients have a very good compliance to procedure and follow up. This is the reason gastric sleeve is very well accepted by patients and recommended by GPs in foreign countries.
After your gastric sleeve surgery in India, the patient has to understand that his/her stomach is like a small banana and can accommodate only a certain amount of solid or liquid. The patient starts liquid sips orally on the same day in a range of approximately 40 ml to be finished over 30 minutes. Patients are allowed a liquid diet for 10 -15 days to felicitate the healing of the staple line and are gradually shifted to a soft diet. Within a month, the patient is eating normal food but in small portions.

• Take a protein rich diet. Patients need to avoid high calorie food items like sugary beverages, sweet food items and other processed food items.
• Monitor portion size. As the size of the stomach is very small one needs to take frequent small meals.
• Take frequent small meals. If you keep a long gap between meals, you will feel hungry and might overeat which may further result in vomiting.
• Never Overeat. Overeating is one of the commonest reasons for vomiting after gastric sleeve surgery. Repeated and regular overeating may lead to enlargement of the stomach to the original size. Increase in the size of stomach and intake of high calorie diet is the reason for weight regain after gastric sleeve surgery.
• Eat and drink slowly. Chew your food thoroughly to avoid overeating. Gastric reflux is a common problem after gastric sleeve surgery and this is commonly seen in patients who eat faster and take bigger bites. To avoid reflux after gastric sleeve, one has to take smaller bites and chew the food thoroughly in the mouth before swallowing so that you know when you are full and avoid overeating.
