About Bariatric Nutrition
Bariatric nutrition guides eating before and after weight-loss surgery. After surgery the diet progresses from liquids to pureed and then solid foods, with protein prioritised and small, slow meals.
Lifelong vitamin and mineral supplements and regular blood tests (such as B12, iron, vitamin D and calcium) prevent deficiencies.
