WelcomeWe are pleased to welcome Liam Malpass, RN, our new Clinical Operations Manager (COM).Liam will take over the reins for Anna Withee, RN, who has been a huge advocate for bariatricsover the years. Thank you Anna for your vision and support of our bariatric patients and program.Bariatric Sound-bitesAdvice, Ideas, & Tips from your Bariatric Team.The #1 piece of advice I give patients is THOROUGHLY CHEW YOUR FOOD. Eat slowly andmindfully; only what you can in 15 to 20 minutes aiming for the right amount and type of food.Often patients eat too fast and /or too much. They need to learn the difference betweenfeeling full, feeling over full and eating the right amount of food. I often hear patients say“I know I’ve had enough when it feels like it’s about to come back up.” This is an example ofeating too much and experiencing food reflux or regurgitation. Instead, aim for the rightamount of food.Remember your stomach has been dramatically reduced in size. For the first 3-6 months postop it’s roughly the size of a shot glass. After six months - 1 year its not much bigger unless youstretch it out by over eating often. This requires you to keep your meals small; eating mindfully, slowly and chewing thoroughly. If you don’t chew it well enough you'll be giving it back orregurgitate. by William Young, PA-C9
