It's more than just a meal plan.
It's a whole new way of life.

Chef Dave Fouts is one of the nation's most decorated chefs.

After your bariatric surgery, it's common to wonder how soon and what steps you must take before regaining your normal eating habits. And while there are several dietary stages patients must go through, the Center for Surgical Weight Management at Gwinnett Medical Center–Duluth works with each patient to develop a healthy and balanced diet.

Our comprehensive support program helps patients not only lose weight, but makes sure they are consuming adequate nutrition for optimal health.

One of the biggest tools our program has to offer is an exclusive partnership with Chef Dave™.  Chef Dave Fouts is one of the nation’s most decorated chefs, a bariatric patient himself, and the author of numerous cookbooks and articles that promote weight loss and healthy living, including 90 Ways to Ditch Your Diet.

This unique partnership provides patients with:

• Meal plans that are simple and use everyday ingredients
• Postoperative dietary progression sample menus and recipes
• Culinary information for postoperative food preparation
• New recipes with nutrition information on a monthly basis
• Access to Chef Dave’s blog and "Ask the Chef" links
