Darwin Nutrition & Dietetics Clinic specialise in the nutritional management of bariatric patients.  We can provide advice for:

  • Gastric Banding

  • Sleeve Gastrectomy

  • Gastric Bypass

  • Intragastric Balloon

Dietitians provide an essential role in the bariatric journey, starting prior to surgery and continuing lifelong. The dietitian’s role is to help you prepare for surgery, direct you through the initial post-surgery diet phases, promote long term desired weight loss, avoid complications, and liaise regularly with your surgeon and health care team.

Research shows that those who see a dietitian after having bariatric surgery are:

  • More likely to achieve their weight loss goal

  • Less likely to regain weight

  • Less likely to experience unwanted side effects or complications

As such, we offer patients of the clinic who are going through bariatric surgery a special package that offers additional support, resources and accountability to provide you the best foundation for success on your new journey.

 

The Bariatric Starter Package includes:

  • Total of 6 dietetic appointments starting prior to surgery all the way until you commence back onto solid foods and beyond

  • A visit to the hospital after your surgery

  • Your Complete Guide to Nutrition for Weight Loss Surgery book by Sally Johnston

  • Two weeks pre-surgery meal replacement diet using Formulite

  • 500g FeelGood Tasteless Protein powder

  • Tub of bariatric multivitamins (BN Multi), lasting the first month after surgery
