Slowly moving on to more solid foods

Liquids will make up a large bulk of the food that you can consume after your gastric bypass surgery, but once you've finally begun to adjust to consuming food and liquids, you may soon be able to move on to something a little more substantial. Of course, you're not supposed to eat solid foods yet, so don't expect to enjoy smaller portions of your favorite meals for at least another six or eight weeks. During the weeks after your liquid diet, you can then proceed to eating pureed foods as part of the second phase of your post-gastric bypass diet. It's not much fun, true, but it's very important for you to gradually ease your stomach into taking in food with thicker consistencies. Foods that you can puree include lean ground meats, fish, beans, and fruits and vegetables. You can even eat yogurt around this time. Make sure that the foods you eat are blended and pureed thoroughly, without any solid chunks and pieces.
