Answer to Question 1

Food has to be extremely soft or liquified in the mouth by excessive chewing. If this is not possible, it needs to be liquified prior to eating. The diet should be very low fat; table sugar, alcohol, and caffeine should be avoided; if snacks are eaten, they should be without kcals, i.e., sugar substitute, diet drinks, raw vegetables if chewed well enough (some physicians may not allow raw vegetables, especially at first). Meals should be small, with liquids 30 minutes before or after a meal, not during; a vitamin/mineral supplement should be taken daily; at least 8 glasses of fluid should be consumed.

Answer to Question 2

This is a method in which a pouch is created by stapling. The pouch is located in the upper cardiac region of the stomach with the exit hole either in the center or to one side of the pouch. The exit hole may be through the side of the pouch into an ostomy that opens into a portion of the jejunum that is rerouted from its usual position below the stomach.
