About this study
Official title: The Effect of Personalized Tailored Nutrition Counseling in Pregnant Women After Bariatric Surgery on Compliance and Nutritional Habits
Background: Nutrition challenges follow bariatric surgery can intensify during pregnancy and may have a crucial effect on fetus. To the best of the investigators knowledge, the effect of nutritional counseling on improvement of maternal diet quality and eating habits among post- bariatric pregnant women has not been evaluated.
Objective: study aims to expand the existing limited knowledge in respect to post bariatric pregnant women's eating habits and quality of food intake, and to investigate the impact of nutrition counseling on these factors.
Design: This is a controlled clinical trial comparing post Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) pregnant women who received nutritional counseling with age-matched control healthy pregnant women. Counseling will focus on improving quality of food consumption, eating habits and behavioral changes in order to improve the mother and the fetus' nutritional status Nutritional data and eating behavior will be obtained using 24 hours recall dietary records and the Family Eating and Activity Habit Questionnaire (FEAHQ).
Read the detailed description
Introduction Pregnancy is a critical period that can determine health for years to come. Appropriate nutrition during pregnancy is key to improved survival and health status of offspring, and can prevent numerous disease states from infancy to adult life. In recent year, as obesity has become a rising problem, bariatric surgery is the only way for many women to increase the chances of fertility.
A possible adverse effect of this approach is high frequency of nutritional deficiencies reported among this population, which may be critical in cases of pregnancy.
The risk for sub-optimal nutritional status and consequently a potential risk of developing micro and macronutrients deficiencies in post bariatric pregnancies, are higher compared to non-surgical pregnant women, given the nutrition challenges brought about by the surgery such as food aversions, nausea, and vomiting beyond the increased nutritional requirements exist in healthy pregnancy. Furthermore, even without the existence of nutritional deficiencies, maternal diet quality has a critical effect on fetus. "Western" diet, high in fats and sugars, increased sympathetic nervous system activity and hyperactivity in rodent offspring that persisted into adulthood. However Investigation of diet quality during pregnancy among women with bariatric surgery has shown that 82% of women's diet quality needs improvement. Moreover, dietary modifications are mainly directed towards increased pollution safety rather than improving diet quality in order to improve the mother and the fetus' nutritional status.
To the best of the investigators knowledge, the effect of dietary counseling in post bariatric pregnant women has not been evaluated despite the findings about its importance and efficacy in studies on non-pregnant bariatric patient.
The aims of this study is to expand the existing limited knowledge in respect to post bariatric pregnant women's' eating habits and quality of food intake, and to investigate the impact of nutrition counseling on these factors, which to best of the investigators knowledge had never been published.
Intervention Patients from the intervention group will receive nutritional counseling from a specialist bariatric dietitian trained in pregnancy nutrition as well. The main goals are a healthy balanced diet including adequate daily servings from all food groups (dairy and egg, meat, vegetables, fruit, whole grain starches, and healthy fats), intake of essential nutrient during pregnancy such as iron and folic acid and limitation of high-sugar and fatty foods. In addition, the patients were advised concerning eating at scheduled times (e.g., 4-6 times daily), taking supplements, preference of water. Advice concerning healthy cooking methods will also be provided. Participants will be advised to avoid soft drinks, drinking during meals, grazing and emotional eating, as well as fast foods. Also the subject of lifestyle in general will be addressed, and participants will be encouraged to incorporate suitable physical activity on most days, refraining from alcohol, and smoking. As currently, no guidelines exist in the literature for nutrition or behavioral modifications for pregnancy after LSG, counseling is based on previously published literature for bariatric and healthy pregnancy nutrition separately.
Each participant will received 8 follow-up sessions for dietary counseling.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Apr 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Israel. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Nutrient intake (time frame: at inclusion (Time 1),will be compared to recommendation for each individual). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02697981, which also lists 8 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
