Learn how to eat right after weight loss surgery. In
the past decade or so, there have been explosive increases in both the
incidence of severe obesity and weight loss; bariatric-surgery. It has
been shown that the incidence of bariatric surgical procedures has
increased over 600% in the last decade. It is estimated that
approximately 200,000 Americans - and another 200,000 adults world wide
- will undergo a bariatric operation in 2006. This dramatic increase in
operative cases is in part a testament to the safety and efficacy of
the currently performed surgical procedures including the roux-en-Y
gastric bypass, laparoscopic adjustable gastric band, and the
biliopancreatic diversion - with or without duodenal switch. Weight
loss surgery is not a magic bullet, but with life-long positive
lifestyle habits, including a healthy diet, you may be able to enjoy
vibrant health you have never felt before. Once the surgery is over,
there is a lifelong maintenance program to ensure not only that you
keep the weight off, but that your body gets the right balance of
nutrients. When you can only eat as much food as you can hold in your
hand at a sitting, it is vital that you are eating the right foods and
taking the correct supplements to nourish your body for life. What sets
"Recipes After Weight Loss-Surgery" apart from previous cookbooks is
the combined expertise of Margaret Furtado, MS, RD, LD-N and Lynette
Schultz, a combination of almost 40 years' experience in clinical
nutrition and the culinary arts, respectively. Together, they will help
you navigate your way through the sometimes turbulent waters after your
weight loss surgery, and will provide you with general clinical
guidelines afteryour procedure, as well as helpful hints for easing
your transition from surgery to your new, healthy lifestyle. With
sections on home entertaining and eating-on-the-run, Ms. Furtado and
Ms. Schultz will help you to feel like a person, rather than a patient,
after your life-altering weight loss surgery. |
