1. Mindful eating

2. Exercise (begninning an exercise program; how to exercise and which exercises work best)

3. Post operative Success Course

4. Basic Nutrition 101

postoperative

1. Listening to Our bodies and importance of portion control

2. Building muscle and strength training (where they receive exercise bands -Thera-bands)

3. Healthy Cooking and Menu planning

4. Post operative course/ complications after surgery

Hope this helps!

You can email me if you have any questions.

Thanks

Hi everyone,I have been given the opportunity to develop some group nutrition classes for the patients in our Bariatric program at the hospital I work at. I will need to develop 4 different types of classes:1. 2-week pre-op class to review the major points of the post-op diet before they have the surgery2. 6-week post-op class when they are transitioning from the soft diet to the last phase regular foods3. 3 month post-op class4. 1 year post-op classI am very new to Bariatrics and would greatly appreciate any ideas from any of you who have developed Bariatric nutrition classes before. If any of you have power point slides you are willing to share with me I would greatly appreciate it or have suggestions for topics I should cover for these classes that would be great as I am struggling a bit with what I should cover in these classes. Thank you in advance

I would be interested in outlines for

these classes as well, if you’re willing to share. How often do this

post-operative classes meet and how long do they last? We have considered

adding an “On Track” class for pts who are 1 yr or more post-op or

for those who have regained wt and include a therapist, etc. Make it a 4 hr or

so class, but I don’t know if just a one time meeting would be worthwhile

or if regular follow-up would be required. Anyone have any insight on this?

Thanks!

Sure I can attach most of the outlines. We make it required that 4 weeks of mandatory post-operative classes in a row (once a week for 4 weeks). We then offer monthly support group meetings for anyone to come and have open topics on what the patients would like to discuss (it's more for them to talk about their problems/issues and we moderate). I agree one time is not enough; especially post-op they need constant reinforcement from us!

Hope this helps! Let me know if you need anything else?

One more question…do you teach all these

classes? Do you demonstrate the exercise or do you have an exercise

physiologist or PT do that? Thanks again!
