Before elaborating on nutrition in bariatric surgery, it is useful to give information about what bariatric surgery is. Bariatric surgery is a surgical procedure to treat extreme obesity.
Bariatric surgery works by making changes to the stomach or intestines to help patients with obesity lose weight. These procedures help patients change their eating habits, but can also reduce type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea and other obesity-related health problems.
Bariatric surgery or bariatric surgery includes many different procedures, but the most common are gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy and adjustable gastric band. These procedures are usually considered for patients with extreme obesity who do not respond to diet and exercise programs. However, like any surgical procedure, bariatric surgery has risks and potential complications, and the patient should be informed about these risks beforehand.
Bariatric surgery is a surgical procedure performed for weight loss and treatment of health problems of overweight people. Nutrition after bariatric surgery is extremely important for maintaining weight loss and maintaining a healthy life.
In the process of bariatric surgery nutrition therapy, although it varies according to the surgical method applied, liquid foods are usually consumed for the first few weeks. Afterwards, pureed foods and then solid foods are consumed.
In other words, the transition should be gradual and gradual, otherwise it may cause unwanted health problems. Bariatric surgery nutrition therapy may differ significantly from the diet before surgery.
Easiest 5 star I’ve ever given. Carolina made this the easiest, smoothest and reassuring surgery ever. She helped me every step of the way, every question I had, every transfer I had she organised smooth and accomodating. Dr Yucel is very very lucky to have her and honestly I don’t think my experience could have been the same without her. I enquired and ended up booking 12 months later and throughout that time I had many many questions she was always happy to answer. I had a rhinoplasty done by Dr Yucel. The surgery itself, was an absolute breeze. Dr Yucel listened to everything I asked for and I am so unbelievably happy with my results! Dr Yucel is not only incredibly kind, but incredibly good at what he does. Including him, everyone on his team is so helpful and kind but Carolina is the star of the show! I can not express enough her patience and kindness. Getting surgery done overseas is scary but she never failed to answer every single one of my many questions. I flew in from Australia and was taken care of the minute I landed to the minuet I left. Even post op, I still have questions and am still being looked after via WhatsApp. The price I was quoted was the price - there was no hidden fees or costs at all. My only regret was not seeing him for my breast augmentation! If I ever require surgery in the future I will 100% be coming back to see him.

While I was looking for the best option for surgery in order to remove the extra skin I still had after losing lots of weight, I was lucky to find an account of a lady that was going to travel to Turkey to have surgery with Dr. Yucel Sarialtin at the Lovest. Her goals were very similar to mine and her journey was exactly what I was looking for. After communicating with her, I was so ready to make the call to start my own trip. From the moment I was in contact with Katya, my coordinator, I felt that everything was as good as it could be. My trip was outstanding to say the least! The transportation from and since the airport as well as all the rides to the clinic, hospital, etc were included. Istanbul is a very safe city with very caring and respectful people. At Lovest EVERYONE is easy going and genuinely helpful and compassionate. Dr. Yucel is very knowledgeable; His confidence and respect to his patients are equally high. The Istanbul Memorial Hospital is equipped with modern technology and the staff is very professional and welcoming - even the food there is great! Also, the hotel where you finish your recovery is simply wonderful. The breakfast is the best I have ever tried compared to the numerous hotels I’ve stayed at. The rooms are clean, and you can rest assured that you will have access to a safe and small but very well equipped kitchen, a private washer/drier, and even the system to call the hotel nursing assistance at any time during your stay. This was the best decision to reach my goals! I truly miss the wonderful team and experience!

Devamını OkuBariatric surgery and nutrition program should include a diet rich in protein, vitamins and minerals and low in calories and fat. Adequate intake of protein in particular is important to maintain muscle mass in the body and to promote wound healing. Fluid consumption is also important.
Drinking plenty of water maintains the body's fluid balance and facilitates digestion. Alcoholic beverages should be avoided and caffeine intake should be limited.
The nutrition plan in bariatric surgery should be determined individually by a dietician or nutritionist. Age, gender, weight, health status and other factors should be taken into consideration in the nutrition program.
During the pre-bariatric surgery nutrition process, a nutrition plan developed to support the patient's weight loss and reduce the risks during and after the surgical procedure is needed.
A pre-bariatric surgery nutrition plan usually includes a high-protein, low-calorie, low-fat diet. This diet will help you lose weight and may also help to better prepare the body for the surgical procedure. In a pre-bariatric surgery nutrition plan, you can pay attention to the following:
Nutrition after bariatric surgery is very important due to the restructuring of your digestive system in the postoperative period. Therefore, it is necessary to follow a slow and controlled nutrition plan. Although postoperative nutrition is gradual and requires some special prescriptions, some tips to be considered can be given as follows:
In the first few days after bariatric surgery, only water, herbal teas or liquid foods should be consumed. After bariatric surgery, you can gradually switch to foods such as smoothies, buttermilk, kefir, milk with a thicker consistency by progressing in line with the doctor's recommendation. In this process, your doctor may recommend that you stay away from non-organic fruit juices and sugary drinks.
Protein consumption is necessary to make the period after bariatric surgery more comfortable and healthier. Protein is important for the body to heal and regenerate. For this reason, protein powder or protein-containing drinks can be consumed during the liquid food process with the doctor's recommendation.
In this process, protein-containing foods such as meat broth and chicken broth can be consumed. After bariatric surgery, you can add dairy products such as milk, yogurt, cheese, as well as high-protein foods such as eggs, fish, chicken, red meat to your diet.
After bariatric surgery, it may be necessary to limit carbohydrates. Consumption of high carbohydrate foods such as refined sugar, white flour, sweets and pastries should be avoided. Instead, complex carbohydrates such as whole grain products, vegetables and fruits should be preferred.
It is important to drink enough fluids after surgery. However, fluid consumption before or during meals should be reduced. Fluid consumption should be done at least 30 minutes before or 30 minutes after meals.
Since nutrient absorption decreases after bariatric surgery, you may need to take vitamin and mineral supplements as recommended by your doctor.
Since the stomach volume shrinks after surgery, portion control is even more important. If you overeat, serious side effects may occur. Therefore, you should eat slowly and in small portions.
Eating slowly helps your digestive system to work more easily and helps you to feel full more quickly. Therefore, it is important to chew your food well and eat slowly.
Exercise can help accelerate your weight loss, as well as improve your physical health and general well-being. However, it may not be appropriate to start exercising immediately after surgery. You can determine your exercise plan in line with your doctor's recommendations.
Nutrition after bariatric surgery is crucial for long-term success. Therefore, you need to maintain a healthy lifestyle by carefully following your diet plan and following your doctor's recommendations. During the nutrition process in bariatric surgery, eating habits change completely and continue throughout the patient's daily life.
Although the nutritional phases in bariatric surgery vary according to the surgical method applied to the patient or the individual needs of the patient, they generally consist of four parts.
The clear liquid phase, which is the first stage of the feeding process in bariatric surgery, covers the first few days after surgery. This phase is necessary to facilitate digestion after surgery and to initiate bowel movements. In this first phase of the bariatric surgery nutrition process, only water, very light tea, diluted organic fruit juices (on doctor's recommendation), compote without added sugar and grains can be consumed.
This phase is a diet that is applied for a few days during hospitalization and covers a frequent but small feeding process in the form of 3 tablespoons every 15 minutes.
The second stage of the nutrition process in bariatric surgery is the liquid diet phase. Depending on the patient's condition, it is applied a few weeks after surgery.
In the liquid diet phase, more fiber intake is aimed through liquid foods. In this phase, low-calorie liquid foods such as high-protein liquids, soups, smoothies and juices are consumed.
It is also important to consume liquids gradually, as recommended by the doctor. The feeding process should be at intervals of 2-2.5 hours. Each meal should be based on 1 cup of liquid.
It is the third stage of the nutrition process in bariatric surgery. In this stage, foods such as pureed foods, soup, yogurt, soft cheese, soft vegetables and soft fruits can be consumed. It is important to eat slowly and chew thoroughly.
After the soft foods phase, you can start eating normal food. However, even at this stage it is important to keep portions small and eat slowly. It is also recommended to eat healthy foods such as high-protein, complex carbohydrate foods and vegetables.
The duration of these phases may vary depending on the type of surgery and the individual needs of the patient. Your dietitian or doctor will guide you in determining your nutrition plan. In addition, following your nutrition plan after bariatric surgery and following your doctor's recommendations are important for weight loss and your health.
