                                Following bariatric surgery, a patient's diet is restricted to clear liquids for a specific duration to allow the stomach to heal, with the timeline varying depending on the type of procedure. A bariatric clear liquid must be thin, sugar-free, non-carbonated, and caffeine-free to ensure proper hydration without causing discomfort or complications.
