Nutrition Counseling After Weight Loss Surgery
For individuals who have undergone weight loss surgery, nutrition counseling plays a vital role in achieving and maintaining long-term success. Post-surgery, your body undergoes significant changes in how it processes food, absorbs nutrients and manages hunger. Working with a dietitian helps ensure you meet your nutritional needs while adapting to your new lifestyle.
Nutrition counseling after surgery focuses on several key areas:
- Guidance on portion control and balanced meals to accommodate reduced stomach size
- Monitoring for nutrient deficiencies
- Recommending appropriate supplements to prevent deficiencies
- Developing sustainable eating habits to maintain weight loss and support overall health
- Addressing challenges like food intolerances or changes in appetite
Our dietitians provide personalized support to help you navigate these changes and stay on track, empowering you to make informed dietary choices that promote your health and well-being.
