L'obesitat ha anat en augment en les últimes dècades, especialment en les seves formes més extremes. Aquesta patologia s'associa amb algunes comorbiditats i se sap que el mètode més efectiu en la seva millora o resolució és la cirurgia bariàtrica. No obstant, la malaltia del fetge gras no alcohòlic, present en gairebé el 90% dels subjectes pendents de cirurgia bariàtrica, és una comorbiditat que fa que el fetge sigui més friable i de major grandària, dificultant així l'acte quirúrgic. L'objectiu principal d'aquesta tesi és avaluar quin tipus d'estratègia dietètica preoperatòria, una dieta molt baixa en calories (VLCD) o bé una dieta baixa en calories (LCD), és més efectiva per reduir el volum hepàtic. Els objectius específics tracten d’avaluar l'efecte de les dues dietes sobre el pes i la composició corporal, la tolerància i el compliment de la dieta, els paràmetres bioquímics, les complicacions quirúrgiques i l’estada hospitalària; així com també l'efecte d'incrementar o disminuir l'adherència a la dieta mediterrània i / o el nivell d'activitat física després de la cirurgia bariàtrica sobre la pèrdua ponderal, la qualitat de vida o la tolerància alimentària durant l'any posterior a la intervenció. Els resultats obtinguts mostren que ambdues dietes són efectives en la pèrdua ponderal precirurgia, essent aquesta més gran en la dieta VLCD. També, seguir una dieta VLCD o LCD té efectes similars en la reducció del volum hepàtic, en els paràmetres bioquímics, en les complicacions quirúrgiques i en la durada de l'hospitalització. A més, incrementar l'adherència a una dieta saludable com la mediterrània s'associa a una major pèrdua ponderal a l'any de la cirurgia. En conclusió, no és necessari realitzar dietes excessivament restrictives prèvies a la cirurgia per a la disminució del volum hepàtic. A més, augmentar l'adherència a la dieta mediterrània pot incrementar la pèrdua ponderal postcirurgia. La obesidad ha ido en aumento en las últimas décadas, especialmente en sus formas más extremas. Esta patología se asocia con algunas comorbilidades, sabiéndose que el método más efectivo en su mejora o resolución es la cirugía bariátrica. Sin embargo, la enfermedad del hígado graso no alcohólico, presente en casi el 90% de los sujetos pendientes de cirugía bariátrica, es una comorbilidad que deriva en un hígado más friable y de mayor tamaño, dificultando así el acto quirúrgico. El objetivo principal de esta tesis es evaluar qué tipo de estrategia dietética preoperatoria, una dieta muy baja en calorías (VLCD) o una dieta baja en calorías (LCD), es más efectiva para reducir el volumen hepático. Los objetivos específicos evalúan el efecto de ambas dietas sobre el peso y la composición corporal, la tolerancia y el cumplimiento de la dieta, los parámetros bioquímicos, las complicaciones quirúrgicas y la estancia hospitalaria; así como también el efecto de incrementar o disminuir la adherencia a la dieta mediterránea y/o el nivel de actividad física después de la cirugía bariátrica sobre la pérdida ponderal, la calidad de vida o la tolerancia alimentaria durante el año posterior a la intervención. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que ambas dietas son efectivas en la pérdida ponderal precirugía, siendo ésta mayor en la dieta VLCD. Asimismo, se observa también que ambas tienen efectos similares en la reducción del volumen hepático, en los parámetros bioquímicos, en las Obesity has been on the rise in recent decades, especially in its most extreme forms. While this pathology is associated with some comorbidities, it is known that the most effective method for its improvement or resolution is bariatric surgery. Nontheless, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, which is present in almost 90% of subjects pending bariatric surgery, is a comorbidity that turns the liver more friable and larger, thus making the surgical act more difficult. The main objective of this dissertation is to evaluate which type of preoperative dietary strategy, either a Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD) or a Low Calorie Diet (LCD), is more effective in reducing liver volume. The specific objectives evaluate the effect of both diets on weight and body composition, tolerance and diet compliance, biochemical parameters, surgical complications and hospital stay; as well as the effect of increasing or decreasing adherence to the Mediterranean diet and / or the level of physical activity a

- Abstract
Objective To assess whether a healthy dietary pattern or physical activity after bariatric surgery mediates the effects of surgery on weight loss, the quality of life, or food tolerance. Methods A prospective observational study conducted in the context of a randomized controlled trial. We assessed the extent to which increasing or decreasing adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MedDiet)-assessed by MEDAS (Mediterranean Diet Adherence Screener)-and of increasing or decreasing physical activity (PA)-assessed with the Short Questionnaire of International PA (IPAQ-Short Q)-after bariatric surgery affected changes in weight, body mass index (BMI), quality of life (Moorehead-Arlet Questionnaire), and food tolerance (Suter test). Assessments were recorded at baseline and quarterly up to 12 months of surgery. Results Seventy-eight morbidly obese participants undergoing bariatric surgery were assessed up to 1 year after surgery. Those individuals who increased adherence to MedDiet showed a significantly higher mean of total weight loss percentage than those who decreased or maintained their adherence during follow-up: 37.6% (35.5-39.8) versus 34.1% (31.8-36.5) (p = 0.036). No significant differences were observed in changes in weight or BMI comparing individuals who increased their PA versus those who maintained or decreased PA, nor in quality of life or food tolerance between those individuals who increased versus those who decreased adherence to MedDiet or PA during the follow-up. Conclusions After bariatric surgery, morbidly obese subjects present greater weight loss if they adhere to the MedDiet. PA after surgery is not associated with the magnitude of weight loss nor the quality of life and tolerance to diet.

Compliance and tolerance to the diets, surgical complications, and hospital stay were also determined. RESULTS: Eighty-six morbid obese participants undergoing bariatric surgery were randomized. The hepatic volume was significantly reduced in both intervention groups, but no differences in changes between groups were detected. The reduction in the hepatic volume was higher in those patients with a baseline hepatic volume > 3 L compared to those with < 3 L (adjusted P value < 0.001).

There were no differences between groups for any of the biochemical parameters analyzed, nor in the number of surgical complications nor the length of hospital stay. Adherence to the diet was good; nevertheless, participants in the VLCD intervention showed worse tolerance. CONCLUSIONS: In subjects with morbid obesity undergoing bariatric surgery, compared to a LCD, a preoperative 21-day intervention with VLCD is more effective in terms of reducing total body weight but not in terms of reducing the liver volume. Both types of preoperative diets have similar effects on clinical biochemical parameters, rate of surgical complications, and hospital length stay.

the administration of enteral nutrition by gravity is a very useful method in clinical practice; nevertheless, it may not be very precise. Indeed, this method presents some important limitations, such as the difficulty in establishing a precise dripping rate and the possibility for the dripping rate decrease depending on the formula.assess the administration time and the risk of clogging of 5 fiber-enriched enteral nutrition formulas with different protein concentrations and caloric density, all administered by gravity through nasogastric (NG) tubes of different sizes. Assess the influence of the composition on the dripping rate, by gravity, of the tested formulas.5 fiber-enriched EN formulas were compared by using nasogastric tubes of the calibers 8, 10 and 12 Fr. The fluidity of these gravity-administered NE formulas was estimated by timing the complete passage of each formula at full speed, thus allowing one to calculate the mean time of free fall (MTFF) and to register any possible obstruction. Subsequently, an in vitro simulation of a 1 500 ml administration was performed for each formula at a particular speed, so that the administration time was 5 hours. Slowing flow and stagnated flow were detected as indicators of the risk of obstruction.the two products that especially differed in MTFF were the ones with the highest energy concentration. The passage time in free fall of these two products through the 8 Fr tube exceeded four hours. For the rest of the products and NG tubes used, this time was less than 2 hours and 5 minutes. No slowing flow or tube obstruction was detected in free fall and at maximum speed. When the dripping was adjusted to be administered in 5 hours, three of the studied products (those with the least caloric concentration and viscosity) showed slowing flow and, in some cases, the dripping stopped completely. The most important factor associated to the MTFF was the lipid content, followed by viscosity, energy and protein content. The MTFF measured was not significantly related to the fiber content of the nutritional formula.all studied products can be administered by gravity via nasogastric tubes in free fall without any risk of obstruction, even though the free fall time was very variable. The lowest caliber tubes, the highest energy content and the viscosity of the EN mixture turn-out to be the limiting factors when fiber-enriched formulas are to be administered by gravity.Introducción: la administración de nutrición enteral por gravedad es un método de administración muy útil en la práctica clínica, pero a la vez muy poco preciso y que presenta unas limitaciones importantes, como la dificultad a la hora de establecer una velocidad de goteo precisa y la probabilidad de enlentecimiento del goteo según la fórmula administrada. Objetivos: evaluar el tiempo de paso de caída libre y el riesgo de obturación de cinco fórmulas de nutrición enteral ricas en fibra con diferente concentración proteica y densidad calórica, administradas por gravedad a través de sondas nasogástricas (SNG) de diferentes calibres. Valorar la influencia de la composición en la velocidad de paso por gravedad de las fórmulas estudiadas. Métodos: se compararon cinco fórmulas de NE ricas en fibra de distintos tipos y se utilizaron SNG con un calibre de 8, 10 y 12 Fr. La fluidez de las fórmulas de NE por gravedad se estimó cronometrando el tiempo de paso de cada fórmula a máxima velocidad y se calculó el tiempo medio de caída libre (TMCL), registrándose las posibles obturaciones. Posteriormente se realizó una simulación in vitro de la administración de 1.500 ml de cada una de las fórmulas a una velocidad determinada para que el producto pasara en cinco horas. Se registró el enlentecimiento y la detención del paso como indicadores de riesgo de obturación. Resultados: los dos productos que con diferencia presentaron un mayor TMCL fueron los productos de mayor concentración energética. El tiempo de paso en caída libre de estos dos productos a través de la sonda de 8 Fr superó las cuatro horas. Para el resto de los productos y SNG utilizadas el tiempo fue inferior a dos horas y cinco minutos. No se detectó enlentecimiento del paso ni obturación de la sonda en ningún caso cuando se determinó el tiempo de caída libre a máxima velocidad. Cuando se ajustó la velocidad para que el producto pasara en cinco horas, en tres de los productos estudiados (los de menor concentración calórica y viscosidad) se observó enlentecimiento del goteo y, en algunos casos, el goteo se detuvo totalmente. El factor que se relacionó de forma más importante con el TMCL fue el contenido en lípidos, seguido de la viscosidad, la concentración calórica y el contenido en proteínas. El TMCL no se relacionó significativamente con la presencia de fibra en la mezcla nutricional. Conclusiones: todos los productos estudiados pueden administrarse por gravedad a través de sondas nasogástricas en caída libre sin riesgo de obturación, aunque el tiempo de caída libre es muy variable. El menor calibre de las sondas, la mayor concentración calórica y la viscosidad de la mezcla de nutrición enteral son factores limitantes cuando administramos por gravedad fórmulas ricas en fibra.
