Bariatric Surgery Support

Weight loss surgery, also known as metabolic or bariatric surgery, is a powerful tool for managing obesity and improving health outcomes, but surgery is just one part of the journey. Successful results depend on combining surgery with lifelong dietary and lifestyle changes.

‍Our comprehensive dietetic support covers all three phases of your journey:

Phase 1:
Preparing for Surgery

After you have made the decision to have weight loss surgery, the preparation begins! A Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD) will be our first task, guiding your body into a state of ketosis, where the body starts to 'burn' stored fat for fuel. Some of this fat is stored in the liver and around the stomach, so reducing this before surgery ensures the surgery is straightforward for the surgeon and safe for you.

Phase 2:
Recovering from Surgery

Recovery involves carefully progressing through:

• Fluid-only diet to manage swelling.
• Puree and soft diets to reintroduce foods gradually.
• Normal textures, tailored to your surgery type.

We’ll guide you on protein targets, hydration, multivitamin requirements, meal planning, and more to ensure a smooth recovery.

Phase 3:
Living with Weight Loss Surgery

Post-surgery, you’ll develop new eating habits that help you feel satisfied with smaller portions. Our support will help you:

• Balance proteins, carbs, and fats for optimal nutrition.
• Make better food choices within each group for long-term health.
• Monitor and supplement essential micronutrients.
• Achieve your weight loss goals
