Nutrition Services
Are you preparing for bariatric surgery? The preoperative period is an important time to get your clearances completed. Most people are excited, yet a little nervous, too.
One of your required clearances is the Nutrition Evaluation/Consultation. We will take a look at your weight history, past diet attempts, current foods favorites, relationship with food and so much more.
This information will be assessed and a report will be prepared for your bariatric surgeon.
There are many areas to focus on as you prepare for bariatric surgery. After completing the Nutrition Evaluation, schedule a follow up session so we can do a deep dive on specific areas important for your success.
Some areas we will want to discuss will be:
- Preoperative goal milestones
- Postop education on diet advancement
- Postoperative success skills
- Tips & tricks to make the postop stages easy
- Shopping lists

It is expected that a person who has had bariatric surgery will level out on their weight loss. It can be overwhelming if you begin to regain weight. If you are struggling with weight regain, schedule a session so we can take a close look at the areas which may be contributing factors.
Sometimes it is a simple fix and other times, we need to develop a plan to get you back to using your tool as intended.
Please take a moment to schedule your appointment and you will be one step closer to obtaining your goal.
My philosophy is that while it is not unusual to experience some weight regain, the reasons why are not a cookie cutter approach. We will need to individualize our solutions to fit your lifestyle and this may take us a few sessions.
During our follow up sessions we will work explore many areas to support your success. We will incorporate food and lifestyle suggestions, while we work on non-food ideas to help you enrich your life. Of all the work I do, this is one of the most rewarding aspects of bariatric care.
