Selected studies assessed FT from 1 month to 5 years following obesity surgery. Taken together, GB patients showed the lowest level of FT. Although SG and RYGB patients had no difference in FT, RYGB ones had better tolerance to protein-rich foods such as red meat, white meat, and fish. Both SG and RYGB individuals tolerated vegetables and fish more than other food groups and could least tolerate red meat and grains.
