Meet the dietitian guiding your first three months

Hi ,

Over the past few weeks I have introduced you to myself - Ilva, the founder of Weight Loss Latvia, to Dr Olegs Kozlovskis and to Dr Juris Zarinovs - the key people who are with you before and during your bariatric surgery here in Latvia.

Today I want to introduce you to someone who will guide you through the process of establishing your new eating habits after your bariatric surgery - one of the most important part of your weight loss and mindset change journey.

Meet Van Patel - The Bariatric Dietologist. 🤍

***

Van is a UK-based certified specialist bariatric dietitian with over 33 years of experience across the NHS and private practice. She is widely recognised as the UK's leading private weight loss support expert - and she is the person we have chosen to support every single Weight Loss Latvia patient after their surgery with us.

Bariatric surgery changes your stomach, not your brain, meaning - it does not automatically change your habits, triggers, moments when stress or emotion may lead you back to food as a coping mechanism.

That is why we provide you a 3 month program with Van - to ensure you are on the right path after your bariatric surgery.

What does your 3-month programme with Van look like?

After your surgery and recovery, Van supports you through the critical first 3 months - the period where habits are formed, where nutrition is most sensitive, and where having the right guidance makes the biggest difference to your long-term results.

She will help you:

✔ Understand and navigate the 4 stages of your post-surgery diet

✔ Build new, healthy eating habits that actually work

✔ Understand your body's new signals - hunger, fullness, what works for you

✔ Work through the emotional side of your new relationship with food

✔ Avoid the common mistakes that slow results or cause regain

✔ Feel well prepared and supported during your journey

✔ Find the right supplement combinations for continuous use

***

Van works with clients all over the world - from the UK and Ireland to Australia, the USA and across Europe. You do not need to be in the same city, or even the same country. Everything is accessible from your phone or laptop, wherever you are.

Your 3-month subscription with Van is included as part of your Weight Loss Latvia care package, no additional cost to you.

We want you to know that bariatric surgery is the beginning of your journey, not the end. And we want to make sure you have everything you need to make it last for the rest of your life.

If you have any questions about Van's programme or want to know more before making your decision - just reply to this email. And - you already know - I am always here for you. 🤍
