Clarian Bariatrics offers extensive counseling, through our psychology department, our dietitians and our exercise physiologist. This provides individuals with a wide range of group and one-to-one sessions not just for counseling, but to assist you in becoming more physically active, help in making positive choices, and healthy behavior changes.
Our exercise physiologist (Erin Light, also a blogger) is available to instruct you on how to increase your activities as you move up to a regular fitness program. She will help you develop a plan and give you specifics on how to achieve your goals. The Dietitians (Annessa, Alvin, Sarah, Jennifer - all bloggers) will help you make nutritional and healthy choices. The psychology department (Bill, also a blogger) will help with coping skills that cover eating habits, body image, family dynamics, and various other topics of interest.
Our weight loss program will ask you to keep a food diary, and pre-surgery you will be required to follow a liver reduction diet of specific, widely available, foods, used to reduce the size of your liver, in turn reducing surgical risks. The wide variety of foods available on this list should have something for everyone regardless of dislikes or allergies and should fit into any lifestyle or cultural needs.
Once you have had bariatric surgery you will be required to take vitamin supplements for the remainder of your life. Your surgeon, based on blood tests, determines what you need to take.
After your weight loss surgery, Clarian Bariatrics has a full range of support groups to
keep you making positive and healthy behavior changes, to learn ways of dealing with such issues as what to eat at social or holiday gatherings, changes to work schedules, lack of motivation, and injury or illness? Additionally dietitians are available by phone regularly and we have a great blog that helps keep our patients in touch as well.
As you can see from the above Clarian Bariatrics has a program full of ways to help you succeed in your weight loss goals. Please give us a call for more information. If you are not in the Indianapolis area, look at similar programs in your area and see if they offer similar program elements as we do. The key is that you want to find a well-rounded program that supports not only your weight loss, but your emotional and exercise needs as well.
