Dietitians

A Park Nicollet registered dietitian will evaluate your weight history, medical history and previous attempts at weight loss. We will make suggestions for changing your current diet in preparation for surgery, and will make recommendations on your diet after surgery.

You will see a dietitian for ongoing postoperative diet and nutrition education and support four times in the first postoperative year, then as needed. We will give you easy-to-use shopping guides to help you make the right food and nutrition choices.   

Your eating habits will need to change forever, and there are specific guidelines you will need to follow. These requirements vary according to the surgery you undergo. Our dietitians have developed healthy eating tips. Combined with tips from our physical therapists, you will be well on your way to a new healthy lifestyle.
