PSMF Diet Phases for Optimal Bariatric Weight Loss
Learning how to eat healthy sounds like such a simple task, but it's one that millions of people struggle with from generation to generation. You're surrounded by delicious food that you've enjoyed most of your life, and it is a mental struggle to turn down those foods in favor of options with superior nutritional profiles. If you're ready to reach your goals and live healthily after gastric bypass surgery, Brookwood Medical Center in Birmingham, Alabama has developed a bariatric diet to simplify weight loss and maintenance.
What Is a Bariatric Diet?
This is the type of diet recommended for any patient who has received gastric bypass surgery. Your stomach is now smaller, and you need to eat nutritious foods that allow you to lose weight efficiently and healthfully. The three-phase diet plan offered by Brookwood Medical Group will get you to your ideal weight with the knowledge and skills needed for a lifetime of maintenance.
Taking the first step is always the hardest, but we can help make the decision for a healthier lifestyle a little easier to reach. Preparation and education is vital to your bariatric weight loss program, so we encourage you to schedule a free consultation with one of our bariatric specialists today!
Appointments
Appointments are available at our office or you may choose to speak with us over the phone. During your consultation, we will discuss the bariatric weight loss programs and plan out the specifics, the costs, and any health issues or concerns you may have.
What to Expect
All of our patients will undergo a physical examination with Dr. Morgan, an EKG and routine lab work consisting of a CBC, Chem 24, lipid profile, liver enzyme function and thyroid panel. You will also complete an in-depth orientation class where you learn how to do the program and receive a starter bag with two weeks’ worth of samples of our most popular meal replacements. You will also have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have.
Perhaps most importantly, we’d like to note that our weight loss program can be supported by our food options, as well as prescription weight loss assistance medications. We want you to feel at ease while researching our successful program, so rest assured, you will never be obligated or pressured to sign up. Please call us at 205-397-8850 to schedule your free consultation today!
Perks & Discounts
Dr. Morgan would like to thank you for not only choosing him as your OB-GYN, but also as your Bariatrician! Current patients will receive a free medical examination (a $75 value) when you start the program.
