Are you preparing for bariatric surgery? The preoperative period is an important time to get your clearances completed and most people are excited, yet a little nervous too.
This package includes 3 appointments:
First Appointment: Bariatric Nutrition Evaluation
During this appointment, we will take a look at your weight history, past diet attempts, current foods you eat, relationship with food and so much more. This information will be assessed and a report will be prepared for your bariatric surgeon. We will then discuss the things you can do today to prepare for bariatric surgery. The preoperative period is a time to try new foods and develop new habits to support you for a lifetime.
Second Appointment: Preoperative Education to Prepare for Surgery
We will have light bulbs and realizations happening during your Nutrition Evaluation. During this 30 minute visit, we will explore what to do step-by-step for your preoperative diet, the day before surgery and first month after surgery.
You will be all set for your before and immediately after food selections and understand 'why' it is important to take each step slowly as you transition.
Third Appointment: Postoperative Follow Up
This 30 minute appointment is planned two weeks to one month after your surgery. It will be time to explore meal ideas, easy recipes, tips and tricks to ensure you are using your bariatric surgical tool.
Weight regain after bariatric surgery is naturally a situation which can feel overwhelming. Visiting your bariatric surgeon is important to evaluate any conditions which may be contributing to the issue. It is highly recommended to have a thorough nutrition workup to determine if your diet and/or eating habits have slipped. You may be facing the return of old habits, stress and the reality of obstacles.
This package includes 3 appointments:
First Appointment: Nutrition Reset Consultation
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.
2 Follow Up Appointments: Nutrition Reset Follow Up Sessions
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 30 minute 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.
Please take a moment to schedule your appointment and you will be one step closer to obtaining your goal.
Some people who are struggling with excess weight are either not candidates for or not interested in bariatric surgery or your insurance does not cover bariatric surgery.
For those who seek medical management, nutrition is a key component along with your physician and multidisciplinary team.
This package includes 3 appointments:
Initial Consultation for Weight Loss
Your initial consultation is a time for a clean start. Your VIP Nutrition Coach will review your initial assessment forms to get to know your personal health, diet, behavioral and lifestyle history. With this information, we will explore a plan that will help you achieve your individualized goals.
2 Follow Up Appointments: Weight Loss Follow Sessions
Working together allows us to celebrate accomplishments. All appointments are individualized for your unique needs. Therefore, every session will include tips & tricks as well as solutions based on what you are facing as challenges.
