The patients are also concerned about what they can eat after weight loss surgery. Well, the good news is that the rules are simple. You eat meats and vegetables. Omit desserts and sweets and drink low calorie liquids, you will succeed. The way the pouch works after weight loss surgery is that you need to eat coarse fibrous foods that come down and fill the pouch up then the food needs to stay in there for about a half an hour and that will control your appetite for about four hours. So, we do not want you to drink with the meal, which will wash the pouch out. We do not want you eating soft, mushy foods, which again will pass right through the pouch rapidly and then increase your appetite in about 45 minutes.
