Quizplus · Accepted Answer

After gastric bypass surgery, patients are typically restricted to clear liquids for the first 24-48 hours to allow their digestive system to heal before advancing to other types of diets. Full liquids, soft diets, or general diets would be inappropriate for a patient who had a gastric bypass surgery the day before.
