In Indian set up a dietitian is a
person who advice no to many foods, particularly to the tasty foods which we
enjoy in day today life and instead she stresses you to take only leaves and
vegetables. She is very strict and never gives option to any indulging foods
from the client’s aspect. Right? But, basically dietitian academic courses go
in depth about the science behind the food and she learns all those basics and
become an expert in her particular specialty after so many years as general
dietitian. She knows what is good and bad for particular problem and she
prescribes foods based on the clinical need of anyone.
In
any bariatric set up, the success of the surgery starts preoperatively based
the motivation and knowledge of the patient. As soon as the client walks in they
meet the clinical and nutrition manager, who is in many bariatric set ups a
dietitian starts with introduction, collection of history particularly the
client’s food habits, medical condition, personal habits, likes and dislikes,
sharing their issues with obesity in the family, friends and society. She tries
to understand about the patient empathetically as she put herself in patient’s
shoes and feels the same way as the patient feels. When this rapport is
started, the patient is more transparent and flows like water without any
inhibition about exploring themselves which is very much needed for any kind of
therapy including surgery for both short term and long term benefits. In any
bariatric set up a dietitian plays her multi-dimensional role connecting with
the whole team which involves around the patient.
Any
dietitian guides not only about diet but also your exercise habits, personal
lifestyle changes, your stress, your sleep, your worries, your emotional eating
habits, your favorite pass times, your friends, your pull downs etc. you can
freely discuss with her and the burden to her and she will not judge you based
on none of these. She can be your consoler and the scientific person at the
same time throughout your bariatric lifetime journey.
Trust
a dietitian/nutritionist in the
bariatric set up and she will take you to reach your target weight loss goals
by answering all your questions by getting solution in various ways from the
surgeon to the nursing assistant to make you smile and lose weight by helping
your day today problems regarding your life style and small physical
complaints.
She
functions very well with the surgeon and the whole team to find out the quest
in bariatric nutrition in coming years.
