Nicholson Clinic Helps Patients Put Together a Diet Plan

PLANO, Texas - Jan. 26, 2015 - PRLog -- Plano, TX, January 15, 2014 - One of the top weight loss surgery centers in the U.S., the North-Texas based Nicholson Clinic for Weight Loss, provides patients with comprehensive nutritional support following their weight loss surgeries. The importance of offering nutritional guidance, says Dr. Nick Nicholson, founder and lead surgeon at the Nicholson Clinic, is providing patients with all of the tools they need for success in reaching their weight loss goals.

“Weight loss surgery can be enormously effective but it can’t be effective alone,” says Dr. Nicholson. “If the patient does not change their lifestyle with regard to diet and nutrition, then surgery will only get them so far. We want to make sure that when we provide a patient with surgery they have the tools to support that surgery as best as possible. To that end, we provide our patients with all the support they need to develop better nutritional habits so that they can reach and maintain weight loss goals.”

Through the nutritional support provided by the Nicholson Clinic, patients are given information regarding eating safely immediately following their procedure, as well as how to begin to integrate solid food into their diet. Patients will be given information regarding daily calorie intake, adequate protein consumption, hydrating appropriately, eating slowly, and more. Patients will learn to begin to eliminate bad habits - such as unhealthy snacks, big portions, and excessive sugar intake - and replace them with healthier habits such as eating small meals more often, increased fruits and vegetables included in their diet, and lean proteins incorporated throughout the day. The Nicholson Clinic team will also ensure that patients have the vitamins and supplements they need to support their body through the weight loss transition. It’s this type of support, says Dr. Nicholson, that will ultimately allow weight loss surgery to be successful.

“The goal of weight loss surgery is not to just help a patient lose a significant amount of weight quickly, it’s to help them achieve true, sustainable health,” says Dr. Nicholson. “To us, providing surgery without the tools needed to make sure that surgery is ultimately successful doesn’t make sense. Nutritional support is part of the integrated care that we offer here at our clinic with the goal of empowering our patients so that they can achieve longterm success.”

Founded by Dr. Nick Nicholson, one of the country’s leading weight loss surgeons and co-author of “Weight Loss Surgery: The Real Skinny”, the Nicholson Clinic for Weight Loss Surgery offers an integrated approach to achieving health through weight loss. With award-winning,state-of-the-art facilities throughout Texas - and a team of doctors and medical professionals who are at the top of their field - the Nicholson Clinic provides a comprehensive continuum of care that focuses on the whole patient - from weight loss surgery options, physiological support, and nutritional guidance, to physical evaluations, counseling, support groups, and other “life after surgery” programs to help achieve long-term success.
