Details.
Dietetic support before and after bariatric surgery, including nutrition assessment, guidance on eating behaviours and dietary habits, a pre-surgery Very Low-Calorie Diet, and staged post-surgery dietary progression from liquids to pureed and soft food textures over four to six weeks. Appointments generally include two pre-operative consultations, followed by consultations at six weeks, six months, and twelve months post-surgery, with additional support and monitoring as needed. Lifelong bariatric multivitamin supplementation and monitoring for nutrient deficiencies are discussed.
