Post Operative care: The doctors of health tap would defer on answering this question to your surgeon. When you were discharged after surgery you were given post op instructions and a care plan. Please consult these instructions or ask your surgeon this question at your first post op visit.

Personalized: It is not only about days when you discuss bariatric surgey postop. Every case is so different on this, because not everyone will tolerate food (or all types of food) in a fixed period of time. Plus, centers follow different guidelines sometimes and surgeons have their own opinions on what is the ideal timeframe.
