title: Nutritional Recommendations for Adult Bariatric Surgery Patients: Clinical Practice.
abstract: Bariatric surgery is currently the most effective treatment for morbid obesity and its associated metabolic complications. To ensure long-term postoperative success, patients must be prepared to adopt comprehensive lifestyle changes. This review summarizes the current evidence and expert opinions with regard to nutritional care in the perioperative and long-term postoperative periods. A literature search was performed with the use of different lines of searches for narrative reviews. Nutritional recommendations are divided into 3 main sections:1) presurgery nutritional evaluation and presurgery diet and supplementation;2) postsurgery diet progression, eating-related behaviors, and nutritional therapy for common gastrointestinal symptoms; and3) recommendations for lifelong supplementation and advice for nutritional follow-up. We recognize the need for uniform, evidence-based nutritional guidelines for bariatric patients and summarize recommendations with the aim of optimizing long-term success and preventing complications.
