Here are the recommendations that I follow. They were given to me by a bariatric program that is a Center of Excellence in Los Angeles, California:
Roux-en-y gastric bypass diet requires each day:
- 80 gm protein per day (preferably low fat sources).
- 1200 mg calcium per day (with 500 mg magnesium and 400 mg vitamin D – both help calcium absorption)
- 2 multivitamins with iron per day
- 500 mcg B12 sublingual
- 6-8 glasses of fluids per day (non-caloric beverages)
Note: What protein a patient can handle varies from patient to patient. I have no problem handling all forms of protein, but beef and tough meats require more chewing.
