About this Research Topic
This Research Topic will focus on the pre- and post-operative nutrition in bariatric surgery to gain an understanding of the health effects and mechanisms of different nutritional strategies. Knowledge in clinical nutrition is of paramount importance in the complex clinical management of bariatric surgery patients - thus article contributions from clinical nutritionists are of particular interest to this issue. Furthermore, we welcome submissions of Original Research, Review and Mini-Review articles focused on the following topics:
- role of clinical nutrition in the management of patients undergoing and undergone bariatric surgery
- nutrition advice/monitoring for prospective bariatric surgery patients,
- changes in food preferences after bariatric surgery,
- supplementation regimen to prevent nutrient deficiencies after bariatric surgery,
- nutritional strategies to prevent muscle loss after different types of bariatric surgery,
- nutritional strategies to prevent hypoglycemia and optimize diabetes status after bariatric surgery,
- longterm follow-up and pharmacological treatments after bariatric surgery failure,
- we also welcome submissions related to the psychological aspects related to dietary habits changes before and after bariatric surgery.
