description Although bariatric surgery is the best treatment modality for morbidly obese patients, a 10–30% rate of weight recidivism has been reported in various specialized centers. We examined changes in energy and macronutrients after bariatric surgery and performed analysis to establish appropriate nutritional guidelines for reaching the target percentage of weight loss after surgery. A total of 189 subjects who underwent bariatric surgery were classified into success and failure groups depending on whether or not they reached 50% loss of excess weight at 12 months after bariatric surgery. Physical examinations and dietary surveys were completed before and 1, 6, and 12 months after surgery. Using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, the optimal cutoff points for nutrient intakes for determining success after bariatric surgery were computed based on maximal Youden’s index. At 6 and 12 months after surgery, the success group had significantly lower carbohydrate and fat intakes than the failure group. The cutoff calorie intake for success in weight loss was <835.0, <1132.5, and <1523.0 kcal/day at 1, 6, and 12 months post operation, respectively. With regard to protein, the cutoff intakes were >44.5, >41.5, and >86.5 g/day at 1, 6, and 12 months post operation, respectively. At 12 months, the cutoff ratio for energy obtained from carbohydrates, protein, and fat was <49.0, >24.5, and <28.0%, respectively. Our findings confirm that the level of diet control and nutrition restriction affect the achievement of target weight loss, emphasizing that long-term weight loss is related to compliance with nutrient recommendations.
