Description
Very low energy diets (VLEDs) are often used to achieve weight loss in preparation for bariatric surgery, but do they play a role for patients undergoing non-bariatric surgery? Tune into this podcast with Senior Complex Obesity Dietitian, Sally Griffin, as she shares her research and experience in implementing VLEDs as part of a multidisciplinary approach. In the episode, Sally discusses which patients can benefit from this protocol, how to ensure the VLED is safe for higher risk patients, and the importance of monitoring and supporting patients along the way. Sally also shares general patient attitudes and adherence rates, how to work with surgeons to improve patient outcomes, and her top tips and resources for dietitians interested in this approach.
