A dietitian can help you understand how your eating habits will need to change before and after surgery, prepare you for the different stages of eating, and identify nutritional concerns before surgery. Preparing ahead can make the transition to your new way of eating much less overwhelming
Research supports the value of continued postoperative support. Studies have found that more intensive multidisciplinary support after bariatric surgery can improve postoperative weight loss, while patients who had three or more dietitian visits during their first 12 months experienced 7% greater total body weight loss than those who had only 0–1 visits.
There’s no set timeframe that works for everyone. Your nutritional needs, eating habits and challenges can change as you adjust to life after surgery. Ongoing support helps you stay on track, make changes when needed, and build habits that last.
Absolutely. If you need help with a specific nutrition concern, are struggling with food tolerance, or simply want personalised guidance, you can book a one-off consultation with our bariatric dietitian.
Sometimes, one session is all you need to get clarity and a plan to move forward.

The first step isn't blame. It's understanding why the weight has changed. A bariatric dietitian can assess your current eating patterns, nutrition, portion sizes, food tolerance and daily habits, then help you build practical strategies for moving forward. Research supports structured nutritional and behavioural intervention as part of managing postoperative weight regain.
Weight-loss plateaus are common after bariatric surgery. Ongoing dietitian support can help identify what’s changed, adjust your approach, and keep you moving forward.
Absolutely. Food tolerance can change after bariatric surgery. Your dietitian can help you identify what may be causing difficulties and find foods, portions and preparation methods that work better for you, while making sure you’re still meeting your nutritional needs.
No. Bariatric nutrition support can be useful at different stages—from preparing for surgery to navigating long-term life after surgery. Ongoing professional support is particularly important because nutritional needs and eating behaviors can change over time.
Your appointment is more than being handed a meal plan. Your dietitian will look at your current nutrition, eating patterns, challenges, goals and stage of your bariatric journey. Together, you'll identify practical changes that fit your body, lifestyle and surgery.
Yes. Bariatric nutrition doesn't have to mean eating the same foods every day. A personalised approach can help you work with foods you enjoy while prioritising the nutrition your body needs after surgery.
