Welcome to the Bariatric Nutrition Preoperative and Postoperative Course!

This course will provide you with nutrition recommendations to help you to prepare for bariatric surgery as well as to help you to optimize your weight loss and health after surgery. During this course we will cover: the 2 week preoperative diet, vitamin and mineral supplementation, and all 4 phases of the postoperative diet progression that you will need to follow after your operation.

This online course is designed to be used in place of in-person attendance of the preoperative and postoperative nutrition classes and will cover the same material as the in-person classes. In order to earn credit for completing the online course, you will need to watch each of the modules and pass a comprehensive quiz on the material. All of the modules can be viewed at your own pace and can be re-watched as many times as you wish. The successful completion of each of the modules and passing score on the accompanying quiz will meet your nutrition class requirement needed to qualify for bariatric surgery.
