Dr Now Book for – Diet Plan Before Surgery
If you have not been able to control your weight through diet and exercise, and have elected to undergo weight loss surgery after careful consideration and evaluation by Dr. Nowzaradan, you will still find that your post-surgery diet will need to be modified.
Weight loss surgery may address the mechanics of how much food you will need in order to feel full, or how much of the nutrients and calories are absorbed into your system, but the surgery does not control your own post-surgical behavior.
Those procedures that are strictly restrictive (Lap Band System®, Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy) may not have much effect on how you feel when eating certain foods, but they will effect how much food you need in order to feel full. Because you will be eating less, you must make the best use of your caloric intake as possible.
