I work directly with your surgeon’s protocols to prevent dumping syndrome and ensure you meet strict protein requirements without the nausea that often strikes during the first few weeks. ### Your Nutrition Roadmap Bariatric surgery is not just a procedure; it is a fundamental shift in how your body processes fuel. My approach focuses on specific, phase-based nutrition to prevent complications and support long-term metabolic health. #### Pre-Operative Preparation Before you head into surgery, we focus on a calorie-controlled protocol designed to reduce liver volume. This makes the surgical process safer and technically easier for your surgical team. We will audit your current biomarkers and stabilize your micronutrient levels so you are in the best possible shape for the procedure. #### Post-Operative Progression Recovery is a step-by-step process. I guide you through the transition from clear liquids to full liquids, and eventually to purees and soft solids. The goal here is simple: protect your stomach capacity while hitting your protein targets to prevent muscle wasting and hair loss. We will actively manage potential issues like dumping syndrome, dehydration, and nausea, which are common if the nutrition plan is not precise. #### Why Specialized Care Matters My work in bariatric nutrition is rooted in clinical research, including presentations at OSSICON. I understand that the 'one size fits all' approach fails in clinical settings. You need a partner who knows how to adjust for the specific restrictions of a gastric sleeve or bypass, ensuring you lose weight effectively without compromising your immunity or internal health markers. ## About Sonam I’m Sonam, and I specialize in the nutrition side of bariatric surgery.
