One year after sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, patients reported similar energy, vitamin, and mineral intake levels according to a substudy of the Bypass Equipoise Sleeve Trial involving 285 participants across seven centers in Sweden. Both procedures averaged daily energy intakes around 1,670 kcal and 1,650 kcal, respectively. Despite high supplement usage among patients, nutrient intake for several vitamins and minerals remained below recommended levels, raising concerns for long-term nutritional adequacy post-surgery. The findings highlight the importance of monitoring dietary habits after bariatric procedures.
