What Is The Gastric Sleeve Diet?

Phase Three Of The Diet

In phase three of the diet, patients can finally begin to eat somewhat normal food again, but not everything just yet. During this phase, patients can eat soft foods, like eggs, soft vegetables, cheeses, soft fish, and other high-protein foods. The protein will help the body heal and support this new way of eating. It is important to begin getting sixty to eighty grams of protein daily. Furthermore, patients need to try to have most of their protein come from foods, not from protein drinks, as natural protein is tolerated and absorbed by the body the best. Individuals can still use protein drinks if they need to get in some more protein, but it should be minimal. Finally, as part of the new diet, patients need to try to stay away from unhealthy foods that could slow down weight loss and reduce the effect of the surgery.
