While you prepare for bariatric weight loss surgery, you can make healthy lifestyle adjustments to reduce your surgical risks, and prepare yourself for the necessary dietary and behavior changes following surgery and lifelong. Adopting a Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD) can provide significant pre-surgical benefits:

  • Weight loss enables the surgeon to more easily access the internal abdomen area
  • Dramatic health improvements decrease surgical risk
  • Reduced liver size increase the likelihood of being eligible for laparoscopic surgery
  • Optimal nutrition corrects pre-surgery vitamin/mineral deficiencies and better prepares your body for post surgery recovery

Post Bariatric Care


Following bariatric surgery, you will need optimal nutrition and strategies to manage your weight loss long-term.

Initially, you’ll need food that will provide enough energy and nutrients to help you heal and preserve your lean body mass without causing digestive discomfort. Continue towards your weight loss goal with our new post-bariatric product.
