Nutrition Guidelines for Bariatric Surgery Patients

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to submit manuscripts for a new Special Issue of the journal Nutrients entitled “Nutrition Guidelines for Bariatric Surgery Patients”. Surgical treatment is now considered the most effective treatment for obesity. However, without proper dietary management, it does not achieve the expected results. Improper dietary management causes complications, such as severe nutritional deficiencies and intolerances, which in turn can promote a poor nutritional status and its consequences (decreased immunity, impaired wound healing and decreased basal metabolism). With the increasing prevalence of obesity, the number of people undergoing this form of treatment is steadily increasing, so it is necessary to clarify dietary and postoperative supplementation recommendations, considering special groups of patients, including children and adolescents, pregnant and lactating women and patients before and after organ transplantation. We encourage the submission of both review papers and original research articles.
