This online resource is a patient information booklet highlighting the VLED diet required 2 weeks before bariatric surgery including sample meal plans and recipes. This pre-bariatric surgery patient information booklet covers why the diet is necessary pre-surgery as well as some of the challenges that patients completing the VLED may come across.

An online patient brochure explaining what protein is and the importance of optimal protein intake during the process of weight loss. The brochure also outlines the key features and benefits of OPTIFAST VLCD Protein Plus Shake products and how patients can utilise the Protein Plus Shake products as part of the OPTIFAST VLCD Program.

In this retrospective observational study it examines the increased nutritional risks in adults who undergo GLP-1 RA therapy, including those with type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, and obesity.

One challenge that arises after the completion of any weight loss therapy is weight regain. OPTIFAST VLCD products can be beneficial to help individuals maintain nutritional balance and reduce overall caloric intake to support continued weight management.

This retrospective review evaluates real world clinical experience of concomitant use of meal replacement products and GLP-1 RAs in Australia and South Africa. The results illustrate that this combination for weight management is feasible in real-life and may offer potential advantages for weight management.

Would your patients on GLP-1 RAs benefit from nutrition support? OPTIFAST VLCD products can help meet nutritional requirements when appetite is affected by GLP-1 RA therapy.

Join Dr Mark Mellor (GP) and Dr Don Zhang (GP) for a conversation on their thoughts and experiences with weight management tools in primary care, including dietary restriction, VLEDs and GLP-1 RAs. Duration: 15 minutes.
