  1. Dietary Guidelines Post Duodenal Switch Surgery Duodenal Switch surgery is considered one of the most effective bariatric surgical procedures to fight obesity. The purpose of the surgery is to reduce the food intake, thereby reducing the calorie intake, which is essential to overcome obesity. So if you or any of your loved one is planning to undergo Duodenal switch surgery, there are certain dietary guidelines that you would be asked to follow to get the best results.

  2. Eating the Right Way • As you would be eating less due to the small size of the stomach, you are likely to extract fewer calories from whatever you are eating. It is, therefore, necessary that your diet comprises small and high-protein meals and you consume them in the right manner. Here are a few guidelines that you need to keep in mind when consuming solid food: • Eat your meals slowly; each meal should take at least 20-30 minutes to finish. • Chew your food well. Wait for at least a minute before taking the next bite. • Start with small meals, which you can increase gradually as your stomach stretches over time. • Avoid snacking all day long, as it may result in weight gain

  3. Consuming Liquid the Right Way • Just like solid food, there are certain guidelines that you would need to follow when consuming liquids. Given below are certain dos and don'ts that you need to keep in mind. • Don’t mix your liquids with solid meals, not even water. Consume fluids 30 mins before the meal or 30 minutes after the meal. • Sip your liquids slowly, as drinking fast may cause nausea. • Drink at least 6-8 cups (48 to 64 ounces) of fluids every day. And try to drink calorie-free liquids (plain water is the best choice) between the meals. • Do not consume any alcohol. • Say ‘no’ to carbonated and high-calorie liquids. • Avoid caffeine as it may cause stomach irritation.

  4. The Bottom Line • Though Duodenal Switch Surgery is one of the most effective ways to fight obesity, the best way to get the desired results after the surgery is to follow every dietary guideline with utmost care. In case of any confusion, always consult your dietitian. What we have mentioned above is simply a barebones guide for getting the best results. That said, the final word on what you must be consuming post the surgery is that of your weight loss surgeon’s. Last but not the least, if you are looking forward to getting a Duodenal Switch Surgery done in Dallas or Fort Worth in TX, always look for a reputed weight loss specialist, which you can do by reading their patient’s reviews or by asking th clinic for their success rate.
