Your Complete Guide To Nutrition For Weight Loss Surgery
Reference Nutrition Health Bariatric Medicine Surgical Recovery Cooking for Special Diets Weight Loss
Your Complete Guide To Nutrition For Weight Loss Surgery by Australian dietitian Sally Johnston is the 2021, fully-illustrated 5th-edition hardcover that weight-loss-surgery patients call “the food bible.” Clocking in at 234 pages of evidence-based guidance, it walks you step-by-step from pre-op liver-shrinking menus to lifetime maintenance, explaining exactly how to hit protein targets, prevent dumping syndrome, and avoid the dreaded regain that derails so many bariatric journeys. Every chapter is colour-coded by surgery stage—sleeve, bypass, SADI-S, revision—so you can flip straight to the nutrients, portions and timings that match your procedure and week post-op.
What makes this copy special is its pristine, smoke-free condition: crisp, unmarked pages that feel almost off-the-press, housed in a sturdy hardcover built to survive kitchen spills and constant backpack trips to dietitian appointments. Johnston’s trademark “plate photos” show real-life ¼-cup servings beside everyday objects, eliminating guesswork when you’re too tired to weigh food, while the illustrated nutrient tables list the exact grams of protein, B-12, iron and calcium in every recipe—an invaluable quick-reference during follow-up blood-work reviews. Buyers repeatedly praise the spiral-bound-style lay-flat design that stays open on the counter while prepping the high-protein, low-sugar smoothies, egg-bite batches and two-minute mug muffins.
Collectors and program coordinators love that this is the updated 5th edition, released after the 2020 ASMBS nutrition guidelines overhaul, so macros, vitamin protocols and hydration formulas are current—no outdated whey-concentrate or carbonation myths. Whether you’re researching before a consult, gifting a loved-one facing sleeve gastrectomy, or replacing a dog-eared earlier print, this hardcover delivers the confidence that every bite you take is protecting muscle mass, bone density and long-term success.
