• Your body absorbs less nutrients (mal-absorption)
• May cause intolerance of food that you should avoid anyway (i.e. concentrated sugar and fat).
During gastric bypass the surgeon creates a small gastric pocket (of approx. 30ml in volume). The pocket fills fast during eating, as it can accept only a small amount of food. A signal is sent to the brain, as it would be if the whole stomach had been filled. This is one of the reasons why we feel sated earlier and that the feeling of satiety remains longer, although we have eaten less.
The small gastric pocket is directly connected to the middle part of the small intestine (jejunum). The opening between the gastric pocket and the small intestine is thin, the pocket empties slower and you feel sated for longer.
The body absorbs less energy (calories) and nutrients because food does not pass through the first part of small intestine (duodenum). Reduced absorption of energy and nutrients is due to the mixing of food with gastric juices, bile, and pancreatic juices that occurs in the middle section of the small intestine. In comparison to the normal digestive process, digestion of food is delayed as a shorter section of small intestine is used.
That means that part of the food is expelled from the body insufficiently digested and absorbed.

Although Gastric Bypass will help you to reduce body weight, it is not of weight loss method that would work on its own. Reduction of body weight is a long-term process. Surgical intervention is only a tool to weight loss. Final results depend entirely with your compliance and how well you adhere to your physician’s advice.
Although the gastric bypass will help you lose weight, weight loss is a long-term process. Surgical intervention is only a tool for weight loss achieved by reducing the amount of food it is possible to ingest. The final result depends entirely on your discipline and on how you well you follow subsequent instruction.
If you start this program with new eating habits, your weight loss will be safe and successful. A new more active life style and psychological encouragement will help you to create a better self image and a completely new approach to life. It is also very important that you check your weight regularly and maintain data of your health (blood pressure and pulse).
Change your energetic balance.
Energetic balance represents the energy that you receive in the form of calories against the amount of energy that your body uses.
Energetic balance = Energy Intake / Energy expenditure
Excess calories are stored as fat that serves as energy storage. If the amount of energy used during physical activity is larger than amount of energy contained in the food consumed, then you will burn off the excess fat to produce sufficient energy. Reducing food intake or increasing physical activity results in weight loss.
Diet for individuals who have undergone gastric bypass is carefully prescribed to achieve optimum weight loss. If you adopt new eating habits and follow the appropriate dietary guidance, then you will lose weight in the long term. You will have discussed this with your dietologist prior to your procedure. You will receive several dietary instruction after the surgical intervention that will be adjusted to your individual needs. You will have only liquid food after the operation and then semi solid food. In the final phase, your food will consists of small portions of a wide variety of healthy foods.
You will have to adjust your food intake over several phases after your gastric bypass. Immediately after the operation, you will be receiving only liquid food. You will then move to soft food full of proteins. Eventually, your food will consists of small portions of normal food although the size of portions will be much smaller than before. Your surgeon and team will decide how long each separate diet phase lasts and when you are ready to move to next step.
During all phases of diet adjustment, is extremely important that you drink sufficient amounts of water and keep to a diet regime.
Generally food that you eat after a gastric bypass procedure, should be rich in proteins and contain only a small amount of fat, sugar and calories, with sufficient vitamins and minerals. Keeping to these dietary instructions does not mean that you will not be able live an entirely full life. You will be able to visit a restaurant with your family and friends, but you will need to adopt new eating habits that will help you to avoid large amounts of food that could have unpleasant side effects. Do not rush eating and concentrate on conversation at the table. Do not focus too much on food. Restaurant visits and eating in general, should be seen as an opportunity to relax.
During all phases of the diet that you will need to adhere to after Gastric Bypass how you eat will be as important as what you eat.
Eat calmly and slowly. Chew the food well and do not rush. You should not drink while eating, as this increases the risk of overfilling of gastric pocket. Following these guidelines you should manage the post-operative change of stomach size and the digesting of food without any unpleasant accompanying side effects (such as dumping syndrome), i.e. sense of weakness, sickness, sweating, possibly vomiting.

Gastric Bypass
How Gastric Bypass can help you to obtain weight loss.
Gastric bypass is a surgical intervention with a two-fold impact. Firstly the stomach is reduced in the operation, dramatically reducing the amount of food that can be ingested. In addition, by removing (bypassing) part of the small intestine from the digestive tract absorption of food is severely reduced.This surgical intervention:
• Reduces amount of food that can be consumed in one portion (restriction)• Your body absorbs less nutrients (mal-absorption)
• May cause intolerance of food that you should avoid anyway (i.e. concentrated sugar and fat).
During gastric bypass the surgeon creates a small gastric pocket (of approx. 30ml in volume). The pocket fills fast during eating, as it can accept only a small amount of food. A signal is sent to the brain, as it would be if the whole stomach had been filled. This is one of the reasons why we feel sated earlier and that the feeling of satiety remains longer, although we have eaten less.

Following these guidelines you should manage the post-operative change of stomach size and the digesting of food without any unpleasant accompanying side effects (such as dumping syndrome), i.e. sense of weakness, sickness, sweating, possibly vomiting.
Eat Only Small Portions
Your gastric pocket can only accommodate a small amount of food. As soon as you will feel full, stop eating. If you continue eating, you may experience unpleasant symptoms, such as the already mentioned “dumping syndrome“,Thoroughly Chew Each Mouthful and Eat Slowly.
Put aside enough time for eating and eat always only small mouthfuls. Do not eat when watching TV or when walking.Never Eat and Drink at The Same Time.
There is not enough room for food and drink together in your small gastric pocket. Drink in between meals rather than while eating and you will avoid overfilling of gastric pocket.Do Not Lie Down After Meal To Have A Rest
Reverse infiltration of food back into esophagus/throat producing an urge to vomit or heartburn may occur if you are in a horizontal position after you have eaten. If you lie down, the food will remain in the gastric pocket longer and that could also cause unpleasant sensations.Eat Daily 4 to 6 Small Portions of Meal
Eat more portions daily. If you eat only 2-3 meals a day, you are increasing the risk that your body will not receive sufficient amounts of energy and nutrients. Because during each meal you eat only small amounts of food your body will not receive sufficient amount of proteins, minerals and vitamins. If you eat several times a day, it is less likely that you will feel hungry and risk abandoning your new eating habits.Drink Only Drinks That Do Not Contain Sugar and Avoid Fizzy Drinks
Consumption of high calorie food and drinks e.g. full sugar soft drinks; milk shakes, alcohol and ice creams can restrict your weight loss. Avoid fizzy drinks for the first month after the procedure. Tolerance of this type of drink is individual and, after a month, taking up drinking fizzy drinks again should be done with caution as results can vary from patient to patient.What Next?
