Health Tips & Info
Preparing your diet before having bariatric surgery will minimize the risks of complications, maximize weight loss and help you break bad eating habits to optimize your chances of long-term success.
Choose nutrient-dense foods
Make sure you include fruits, vegetables and salads, as these contain fibre to help you feel fuller for longer, as well as nutrients vital for the healing process such as vitamin C.
Eat protein
Including protein with every meal not only slows down digestion but helps to preserve muscle during periods of rapid weight loss.
Include omega-3 fatty acids
This is important as omega-3 helps to reduce inflammation both pre- and post-operation, so eat small portions of oily fish and flaxseed.
Avoid nutrient-poor foods and drinks
Because your portion sizes will be small, make sure every bite counts and choose foods high in vitamins and minerals. Avoid processed foods and those high in sugar and fats, as well as sugary and fizzy drinks.
