As a dietitian, it’s essential that I spend time keeping up to date with the latest research. My wonderful colleague, Kathlene, and I have recently published a literature review on bariatric surgery!
For the past couple of months, we have been busy researching ‘Interventions to improve long-term weight loss in patients following bariatric surgery: challenges and solutions.’
We are delighted that it has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy.
Here is your chance to take a sneak peak before anyone else!

Abstract: Bariatric surgery aims to provide long-term weight loss and improvement in weight- related comorbidities. Unfortunately, some patients do not achieve predicted weight loss targets and many regain a portion of their lost weight within 2-10 years post surgery. A review of the literature found that behavioural, dietary, psychological, physical and medical considerations can all play a role in suboptimal long-term weight loss. Recommendations to optimise long-term weight loss include ensuring that the patient understands how the procedure works, preoperative and postoperative education sessions, tailored nutritional supplements, restraint with liquid kilojoules, pureed foods, grazing and eating out of the home, an average of 60 minutes of physical activity per day, and a lifelong annual medical, psychological, and dietary assessment.
