BNNI (63) 174-197. Doi:10.21608/BNNI.2024.366473 Although bariatric surgery is a very successful weight loss procedure, there may be nutritional difficulties following the procedure depending on several variables including age, health, income, and surgical complications. Digestive troubles and significant weight loss are common manifestations of these illnesses. The purpose of this study was to evaluate how dietary recommendations affected the amount of nutrients consumed by patients who had gastric banding (GB) surgery. It was postulated that this kind of direction would improve the intake of vital nutrients. Over 12 weeks, 50 participants in the non-controlled experiment, ages 18 to 65 with a BMI over 35, got dietary and behavioral guidance from a nutrition professional every two weeks. The findings showed that adhering to the dietary recommendations significantly reduced energy intake and increased protein consumption. But both before and after the intervention, a sizable portion of participants failed to meet the recommended nutritional levels. Despite the recommendations, the proportion of people who did not meet dietary requirements did not change. These results highlight the need for individualized nutritional interventions and careful monitoring of nutritional status in patients undergoing gastric banding, especially concerning pre- and post-operative dietary guidelines. In summary, even while post-surgery dietary counseling showed improvements in nutrient intake, enduring deficiencies—particularly in protein—highlight the critical necessity for early and ongoing nutritional care catered to each patient's specific needs. | ||
