Had Fistula Repaired From Gastric Bypass. What Diet Should Be Followed?

Hello,
Post Gastrointestinal surgery the diet should be easily digestible.
Because post surgery the GI needed adequate rest to heal quickly.
1. Eat frequent small portions of meal(6 times a day). This will help in easy digestion and prevent constipation.
2. Cut down on high fat diet.
3. Proteins should be taken 1 gm/kg. This will help in fast wound healing.
Milk is a good source.
4. Drink plenty of water.
For 1500 calories per day.
Breakfast(500 Calories).
1. Egg
2. Whole grains.
3. Oranges.
Brunch(100 calories)
1. XXXXXXX
2. Milk
Lunch(500 calories)
Tea(100 calories)
Super(300 calories).
Hope the answer helps you.

This did not answer my question. I would like to know how many dairy, fat, fruit, vegetable, protein and starch servings I sould have per day on a 1400 to 1500 calorie diet for a gastric bypass patient. I found the info for no bypass patients but I know my protein intake should be about 50%. I make a check list so I am sure I am getting enough of each category. I just began on solids after the fistula repair and do not have the break down. My doctor sent me something similar to what you wrote but I was hoping to get the breakdown. For example....3 servings fruits, 3 servings vegetables, 2 fats, 6 protein...etc. Thank you very much.
