Diet, Nutrition &
Counselling

Surgery is the tool; nutrition is the fuel. Our comprehensive program combines medical nutrition therapy with behavioral counselling to ensure lifelong success.

The Foundation

More Than Just
Calories In, Calories Out

For patients with obesity and diabetes, food acts as a hormonal signal. The right nutrition can lower insulin resistance, reduce inflammation, and enhance surgical outcomes.

At SCOD, we don't believe in "dieting" in the traditional sense. We teach Metabolic Nutrition—eating to fuel your body's recovery and maintain a healthy weight set-point long-term.

Vitamins & Minerals

Multivitamins, Calcium, and Iron are non-negotiable for lifelong health.

Mind & Behavior

Healing Your Relationship
with Food

Surgery changes your stomach, but not your brain. Emotional eating, stress triggers, and old habits can resurface. Our behavioural counselling is designed to build mental resilience.

  • Identifying emotional triggers vs. physical hunger
  • Managing stress without using food as a coping mechanism
  • Support groups to share experiences and stay motivated
