The Dietitian Service

The main services you can get in the dietitian service can be briefly listed as follows.

• Personalized Meal Plans: 

  Metabolism, allergies and intolerances are unique to each person, so meal plans should be personalized.
  If you have gluten intolerance, then your list should be prepared with gluten-free alternatives.
  If you are lactose intolerant, then you should replace the protein and calcium that you are not able get through dairy products with other food groups.

• Portion Controls: 

  People may experience some confusion after bariatric surgery between their old portions and the portions that their new small stomach can accommodate.
  Your dietitian will prepare personalized nutrition lists to avoid overeating and to relieve postprandial discomfort.

• Supplements: 

  Since your portions will be smaller after surgery, your dietitian will guide you on which vitamins, minerals and supplements you should take to prevent nutrient deficiencies.

• Important Events, Social Situations:

   After the surgery, your dietitian will offer you guidance on what you can eat and drink out at social gatherings.

• Snacks: 

  If you had a habit of snacking on junk food several times a day before bariatric surgery, your dietitian will swap these snacks for healthier recipes. Your diet will never be boring.

• Support: 

  Patients often find it difficult to establish a healthy life routine after bariatric surgery, maintain weight loss, and avoid emotional eating. In such situations, the involvement of a dietitian who can provide continuous guidance and answer all questions is important to provide emotional support.
