The goal of this research is to verify the results of a differentiated protocol that refers to the particularities in the preoperative period and the evolution of the solid diet after the 3rd week of the postoperative period. Between April 2000 and August 2001, 100% of the attended patients were studied. A total of 50 patients, with BMI variation between 40kg/m2 and 55kg/m2 were observed. The obtained results in pre and postoperative periods were positive, and demonstrated that 60% of the patients reduced their weight. Until the 21st day with oral feeding in postoperative period, patients demonstrated satisfactory results in terms of weight lossand low incidence of the main complications related to this period, as described in literature. Therefore, it is important to elaborate a Nutritional Attendance Protocol that contemplates and prioritizes nutritional education aspects, the preparation of the patient before surgery and detailed monitoring after surgery.
