Every bariatric plan is portioned to the post-op stomach: 60 to 80 g of protein daily built from small, frequent meals of 2 to 4 ounces, hydration held above 64 oz per day sipped between meals rather than with them, and added sugar under 10 g per serving to avoid dumping syndrome. Nutrition is calculated per serving against the Nutritionix database and USDA references. Recipes flag protein grams, texture stage (clear liquid, full liquid, pureed, soft, regular), and B12, iron, calcium citrate, and vitamin D as the supplements bariatric patients typically need.
Bariatric plans are written or reviewed by our Registered Dietitians Brenda Peralta, Kerly Cordova, Marita Radloff, and Karolina Peterova, and medically reviewed by Franco Cuevas, MD. Nothing here replaces your bariatric surgeon or program dietitian, who set your individual advancement schedule. Corrections to social@dietsmealplan.com.
