Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

Liquids are initially the only intake allowed after bariatric surgery. Sugary beverages and fruit juices with added sugar should be avoided, as these products can promote dumping syndrome. Vitamin and mineral supplements will be prescribed after the immediate postoperative period.

Answer to Question 2
