The Role Your Diet Plays In Surgery

Piedmont Bariatrics isn’t just about a surgical procedure. Nutrition also plays a huge role in how much weight you lose.

Bariatric surgery isn’t an overnight weight loss solution. It will take a commitment to healthier eating and lifestyle changes to lose weight and keep it off long-term.

Nutritionist Jackie Oleski, RDLD, conducts nutritional evaluations with each patient to determine with eating histories, eating patterns and dietary recommendations before and after surgery.

A New Way of Eating. A New You.

You won’t be able to eat some of the foods you ate before surgery, and diet modifications are almost always necessary for success.

No matter how skilled the physicians are, losing weight depends on one person – you!
Losing weight takes dedication and commitment to changing your lifestyle and eating habits – one day at a time.

Your diet will change, but we’ll help you develop a realistic eating plan before and after your operation. Losing weight takes dedication and commitment.

We are here to help, with one goal: To help you lose weight safely and easily with bariatric surgery.

Exercising Is A Requirement

Exercise is another important component to successful weight loss.

There’s no getting around it. Without exercise, your weight loss will be limited.

Jennifer Hopper, M.S., ACSM-HFS_CES, manager of the Piedmont Hospital Health and Fitness Club, consults with patients before surgery to identify the good experiences and challenges that you’ve had with exercise.

Then, Jennifer will help you develop an effective short-term and long-term exercise plan.
