Pre-surgery

As you prepare for surgery, you will be introduced to dietary interventions to help you lose weight and improve your health, as your surgery date approaches. Your weight loss journey starts at the first consult with the dietitian. You will be provided with education on eating behavior changes and dietary modifications necessary for success with weight management.

 

Post-surgery

You will be scheduled to meet with the dietitian a minimum of 7 times within the first year, following your surgery. As a protocol for success, you will be required to supplement with vitamins and minerals, available to purchase in our office. Drinking approved protein shakes to meet your assessed protein needs is also a part of the post-surgery regimen. Our team will work closely with you to help you reach you weight loss goal safely.
