During this operation, since the stomach is cut with a type of stapler that we call a longitudinal stapler, it will take time for this stomach to heal, this time period has been determined to be approximately 4 weeks. During these 4 weeks, juicy-soft foods should be taken in the first time, and then pureed foods.

In the post-operative period, patients need to follow a transition diet program to switch to their normal diet. Below, this transition diet will be described by dividing it into 4 main stages. During this transition between stages, the center performing the operation must decipher.
Patients should move to the other stage to the extent that they are able to feed in the previous stage. If they have a hard time getting to the next stage, they have to go back to the previous stage. Sometimes you can’t tolerate certain foods in the first place. This situation is normal. Don’t stop trying again later.
