Details.
Dietitian support provided before and after bariatric surgery, including nutrition assessment, guidance on eating behaviours and dietary habits, a pre-surgery Very Low-Calorie Diet, and post-surgery progression from liquid-only to pureed and soft food textures over four to six weeks. Consultations generally occur twice before surgery, followed by appointments at six weeks, six months, and twelve months after surgery, with additional appointments available for ongoing support and monitoring. Lifelong bariatric multivitamin use and nutrient monitoring are also addressed.
