Bariatric Surgery

Bariatric surgery is an effective method of weight loss especially when combined with good nutritional care. Dietary modification is required both before and after surgery and is tailored to theprocedure that is planned and to the individual. As dietitians we will discuss your previous approaches to weight management and will identify eating styles and behaviours that will need modification in your post-surgical weight loss journey. We will support you through the post-operative texture modification and will continually assess your oral intake to ensure appropriate weight loss whilst achieving your nutritional requirements. Eating practices that will help you achieve and maintain the desired weight loss will be promoted along with advice on long term essential nutritional supplementation.
