Summary

This trial will test how different diets affect weight loss in patients who have had bariatric surgery.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for individuals who have undergone bariatric surgery, specifically sleeve gastrectomy, and are not currently smokers or dependent on drugs or alcohol. It's also important that they don't have bipolar disorder, anemia, PTSD, insulin-dependent diabetes or haven't done shift work in the past year.

What is being tested?

The study is examining how following a specific dietary habits plan can influence weight loss results after patients have had bariatric surgery. The goal is to see if these dietary changes improve the effectiveness of the surgery.

What are the potential side effects?
