Nutritional counseling for patients undergoing bariatric surgery is divided into preoperative and postoperative periods.
By applying a liver reduction diet in the preoperative period, we aim to prepare the patient for the operation, to reduce the risk of complications, and to facilitate the postoperative process by reducing the visceral fat levels and the liver volume.In the postoperative period, the main aim is to ensure that the patients fully comply with the postoperative diet stages, and to reach the ideal weight by preventing macro and micro nutrient deficiencies.
It also accelerates post-operative wound healing, prevents loss of body muscle mass, and prevents problems such as vomiting, diarrhea, reflux, dehydration and dumping syndrome.Studies show that patients who follow a dietitian in the postoperative period are more successful in changing their nutritional behaviors.
