As part of our Patient Aftercare Program and in addition to appointments with Dietitian Tania, we provide each of our patients with their own copy of Sally Johnston’s ‘Your Complete Guide to Nutrition for Weight Loss Surgery’. Why do we feel this is an important component of your weight loss journey?
The book is exactly what it proclaims in the title, a complete guide for those who have had any type of bariatric surgery, from the gastric sleeve to a gastric bypass, or those who may just be considering surgery. It combines simple, healthy recipes and food fundamentals, with troubleshooting common complaints, the nutritional impacts of bariatric surgery and the need for supplementation.
This comprehensive guide combines delicious and uncomplicated recipes, from both colleagues and patients, with over 15 years of knowledge as a dietitian within the weight loss surgery industry.
What you get from the book
- A basic understanding of the bariatric surgery procedure, how it works and how it needs to be managed.
- Recipes to prepare you for surgery and while you are recovering.
- Food fundamentals to follow after bariatric surgery, exploring eating techniques, habits and food choices to ensure a varied and nutritious diet that promotes weight loss (and maintaining that weight loss).

Recipes for Everyone
The recipes in the book are not only for bariatric surgery patients but are easy to modify for family and friends too. Suggestions to modify serve sizes are included and this works really well for those who are getting family involved in their new healthy diet/lifestyle.
Bariatric surgery is simply a tool
Bariatric surgery is a tool to help you lose weight by reducing the amount of food you can consume; the best outcomes are from those who apply what they learn along their weight loss journey, with the support of a comprehensive aftercare program.
Following a healthy diet is an essential part of maintaining weight loss, and this book is a helpful way to start out on the right track.
