What diet restrictions are in place after weight loss surgery? Every unit is slightly different but for most surgeons, for the first two months after surgery there will be a particular diet program to follow which is mainly based on consistency of foods, typically liquids to purees to soft food. Most people can go on to normal healthy eating after two months, but it is key to remember that bariatric surgery won't work on its own. It's actually just a tool to help you with weight loss, and if you use it wisely and eat healthy, it will work really well for you. But even having had bariatric surgery, if one has poor dietary habits, so for example only eating sweets or desserts or only drinking alcohol and having nothing else will of course lead to failure of the operation.
