Surgery is only one part of weight loss surgery, without the correct advice and guidance from experts in bariatrics, you won’t be able to reach your potential. At Healthier Weight we realise all the fundamental pillars to success in weight loss surgery which is why make sure all our patients get free appointments with dietitians, like Heather, through our specialist bariatric weight loss app.
Since graduating university with a Bsc Hons degree in Dietetics she has worked alongside patients who have had weight loss surgery.
Heather says
“My interest has always been in weight management and gastro & bariatrics combines the two nicely! I enjoy helping people change and manage new habits to get success following their surgery. Bariatrics is so much more than just looking at what we eat and having this variety in my job is why I love it”
During a dietitian appointment you will get to speak with a dietitian, such as Heather on a 1 to 1 basis.
You will be able to discuss your unique experiences with food post weight loss surgery. It helps if you log the food your eating through our food diary on our app. This way the dietitian can see a record of everything you’re eating and offer their advice and guidance based on that.
During your appointment, the dietitian will help you to discover new foods, ones that are suitable for bariatric patients, and help to tackle any returning eating habits that may be having a negative effect. Help with reaching your daily protein intake will also be given.
These appointments are really important as a in-depth conversion with an experienced dietitian, experienced in bariatrics, can help with your personal experiences and unique weight loss journey.
