Diet modification after weight loss surgery can be challenging for many patients, explains Dr. Mario Almanza, especially at first. However, diet modification is essential for maintaining nutrition and overall health. Many weight loss surgeries involve the removal of a portion of the stomach and some surgical procedures can even require the re-routing of portions of the intestines. This means that the nutrients in any food that is consumed do not absorbed as completely or quickly as did were prior to surgery and can lead to medical conditions such as anemia and/or vitamin and mineral deficiencies, cautions Dr. Mario Almanza.
