Passionate Cook with a Gastric Band

Sharon completed a certificate in Food and Community Services in 1997, qualifying her as a ‘diet cook’–the link between a cook and a dietitian. This provided her with knowledge of food, nutrition, cooking, food preparation and menu planning for people with a range of dietary requirements.

Sharon first met Sally as a client. Having battled with her weight since she was a child and now a mother of four not wanting her life cut short, Sharon made the decision to undergo bariatric surgery. At her consultation with Sally her knowledge of food, nutrition and recipe modification became apparent. Sharon was then consulted on improving the recipes that Sally had been developing; increasing the fibre and protein content, texture modification, enhancing flavours and ensuring the methods were clear and easy to follow.

Sharon was keen to be involved, putting her love of food, nutrition and recipe modification to work. The bonus for Sharon was that she tested the recipes, which helped her overcome her fear of being ‘stuck’ on a fluid diet for two weeks following her own surgery. Her fears were quickly resolved, becoming excited about the ‘fluid diet’, knowing how delicious the recipes are.

Sharon’s favourite recipe? She really couldn’t narrow it down to one.
