Abstract

We explored differences in dietary behaviours, energy, and macronutrient intake among individuals who had regained or maintained weight loss 5 or more years after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). This study assessed 27 adults who underwent RYGB an average of 12.1 ± 3.7 years before this study was conducted. Dietary assessment was performed using 3-day food records. Daily energy intake (kcal), protein (g), carbohydrate (g), fat (g), and alcohol intake (g) were computed using the ESHA’s Food Processor®. Participants were classified by percent weight loss, maintainers (≥38 %), and regainers (≤30 %). Daily carbohydrate consumption was greater in regainers (222 ± 84.3 g) compared with maintainers (162 ± 67.5 g), (P < 0.05). Thirty-seven percent of participants were not consuming the recommended amount of protein and 26% reported never taking vitamin supplements after surgery. Alcohol consumption was higher among regainers (18.5 ± 30.9 g) compared with maintainers (2.6 ± 6.5 g), (P < 0.05). Finally, 74% of the participants reported no contact with a Registered Dietitian, whereas 78 % were in contact with a health care professional once a year post-surgery. Differences were seen in carbohydrate intake and alcohol consumption between weight maintainers and regainers. These data suggest dietitians need to play a more active role in the long-term care of this medically complex population.

Résumé

Explorer les différences entre l’apport énergétique, les habitudes alimentaires et l’apport de macronutriments des individus qui ont repris du poids et ceux qui ont maintenu une perte de poids 5 ans ou plus après une chirurgie bariatrique. Les apports alimentaires ont été estimés en utilisant un journal alimentaire sur 3 jours. Les apports quotidiens en énergie (kcal), protéines (g), glucides (g), lipides (g), et d’alcool (g) ont été estimés à l’aide du logiciel Food Processor d’ESHA®. Les participants ont été classés selon le pourcentage de perte de poids : ceux qui ont maintenu leur perte de poids (≥38 %) et ceux qui ont repris leur poids (≤30 %). L’apport quotidien en glucides était supérieure chez les individus qui ont repris du poids (222 ± 84.3 g) comparé ceux qui maintenu leur perte de poids initiale (162 ± 67.5 g), (P < 0.05). En outre, 37% des individus ne consommaient pas l’apport quotidien recommandé en protéines et 26% des participants ont déclaré ne jamais prendre des suppléments de vitamines. La consommation d’alcool était supérieure chez les individus qui ont repris du poids (18.5 ± 30.9 g) comparé à ceux qui maintenu leur poids (2.6 ± 6.5 g), (P < 0.05). Aussi, 74% des participants ont déclaré ne jamais être en contact avec un diététiste et 78% sont en contact avec un professionnel de la santé qu’une fois par an. Des différences significatives ont été observées dans l’apport en glucides et encore plus alarmant; dans la consommation d’alcool entre les individus qui ont maintenu une perte de poids et ceux qui ont repris du poids après leur chirurgie bariatrique. Ces données suggèrent que les diététistes doivent jouer un rôle clé dans les soins à long terme de cette population complexe.
