Jake works across the full spectrum of bariatric surgery nutrition challenges, each supported by evidence‑based strategies that stabilise metabolism, optimise nutrient absorption and rebuild the physiological foundation your post‑surgery functioning relies on.
Post‑Surgery Nutrition Deficiencies
Personalised bariatric nutrition therapy to correct protein, iron, B12 and micronutrient gaps, restore metabolic stability and support safe, sustainable post‑operative recovery.
Hidden Post‑Bariatric Malabsorption
Targeted dietary intervention to identify and treat subtle malabsorption issues that cause fatigue, dizziness, hair loss and slowed weight‑loss progress after surgery.
Bariatric Surgery Recovery Nutrition
Evidence‑based nutrition addressing altered digestion, reduced stomach capacity and increased nutrient demand to optimise healing, energy and long‑term surgical outcomes.
Metabolic Instability After Surgery
Structured nutrition therapy to stabilise blood sugar, prevent reactive hypoglycaemia and rebuild metabolic resilience with precise, stage‑appropriate clinical support.
Post‑Surgery Digestive Discomfort
Comprehensive nutrition intervention to reduce nausea, reflux, dumping syndrome and food intolerance while supporting comfortable, confident eating after surgery.
Bariatric Nutrient Imbalances
Targeted nutrient correction and hormone‑supportive strategies to optimise energy, appetite regulation and metabolic function throughout the post‑operative journey.
Your bariatric surgery nutrition drives your energy, metabolic stability, healing capacity, motivation, decision‑making and long‑term surgical success. When bariatric nutrition is unmanaged, these systems become unstable and progress, confidence and daily life all feel harder than they should.
When supported clinically, your post‑surgery nutrition becomes powerful. Jake’s approach begins with a comprehensive intake of your symptoms, surgical history, investigations, diet and lifestyle.
Every factor influencing your post‑surgery nutrition and long‑term weight‑loss success is assessed. From there, Jake builds a personalised bariatric‑support nutrition plan that restores physiological resilience

Every bariatric surgery client goes through a structured clinical process, not a one‑size‑fits‑all protocol.
01
Deep-dive intake assessment
A thorough review of your full symptom history, energy timeline, current investigations, medications and diet. This is the foundation that everything else is built on in bariatric nutrition care.

Root cause identification
Rather than managing surface symptoms, Jake looks for the actual driver in you whether that is micronutrient insufficiency, hormonal disruption, or a deeper post surgery metabolic pattern that has gone undetected.
03
Personalised bariatric surgery nutrition protocol
A structured eating plan tailored to your specific post surgery needs, lifestyle, food preferences and budget, not a restrictive template but a liveable clinical strategy that supports long term metabolic stability and recovery.
04
Your goals are the engine of your results
Jake and yourself will define your short and long term dream goals, and the projections will be built with clinical precision to take you exactly where you want to go.
05
Ongoing monitoring & expansion
Regular reviews to track progress, adjust your plan and expand dietary freedom. The goal is always the broadest possible diet that supports long term metabolic stability, emotional regulation and daily functioning after surgery.

No. You do not need a GP referral to see Jake. As a bariatric surgery nutritionist, he can assess your symptoms, diet, recovery stage and nutritional status directly, and you can begin personalised post surgery nutrition care immediately without waiting for a referral.
Jake’s approach is different because he works exclusively at the intersection of bariatric surgery, metabolism and personalised nutrition. A GP provides general medical oversight and a dietitian often follows standard guidelines, but Jake builds a clinically tailored post surgery strategy.
No, you will not be placed on a very restricted diet. Jake’s approach is structured, personalised and clinically guided, but it is designed to be sustainable and flexible. The goal is to support long term post surgery metabolic stability while keeping your diet as broad and enjoyable as possible. Most clients actually gain more dietary freedom over time, not less.
Most clients begin noticing meaningful changes within the first few weeks. Improvements often include better energy, more stable eating patterns, clearer mental clarity and a stronger sense of structure around what their post surgery body needs. Metabolic recovery evolves over time, but the behaviours that drive better energy stability and emotional regulation begin shifting almost immediately. Jake monitors your progress closely and adjusts the plan so you continue moving forward with confidence.
Yes. Jake works seamlessly alongside your GP or surgeon. His role is to provide the specialised post surgery nutrition, metabolic support and behavioural structure that medical teams often don’t have time to deliver. Your GP or surgeon manages the medical and surgical aspects, while Jake ensures your nutrition, recovery, energy stability and long term outcomes are optimised.
Jake combines world‑class expertise as a bariatric surgery nutritionist with extensive experience supporting clients navigating post‑operative fatigue, metabolic disruption and emotional volatility. His approach gives you a clear clinical advantage built on precision and science.
