Post-operative diet after bariatric surgery in Tijuana
The four textures
| Phase | What it contains | What it avoids |
|---|---|---|
| Clear liquids | Water, broth, sugar-free gelatin | Solids and soda |
| Full liquids | Protein shakes if tolerated | Chunks of food |
| Purees and soft food | Smooth protein, then soft meals | Bread, steak, sugar rushes |
| Regular texture | Small portions of ordinary food | Eating until the old fullness |
Vomiting, dizziness, or an inability to sip is a reason to call, not a reason to skip ahead. Vitamins start when the surgeon says the stomach will tolerate them. A duodenal switch needs a stricter vitamin plan than a sleeve. The procedure page explains that difference.
The gastric sleeve package is $4,900 USD and the gastric bypass package is $5,800 USD, both all-inclusive with complication insurance. Mini bypass, duodenal switch, and revision do not have a published package price. Follow-up for five years is part of the priced packages. It does not replace emergency care at home.
