When after getting a gastric bypass can i start chewing agian?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chewing??: Chewing is not the issue. We usually put people on liquid diets before and after surgery so the new pouch does not become overloaded with volume. Once the suture lines are healed you can eat more solid foods...A gradual re-introduction starting at two weeks.
