TIPS FOR SUCCESS OF WEIGHT LOSS POST-BARIATRIC SURGERY
Weight loss surgery post-Bariatric surgery is a journey, not a destination. It is important to remember that it is not a quick-fix solution for all the problems in your life. Weight loss surgery is a tool, but one needs to be disciplined to achieve and maintain your long-term health goals. Making healthy choices and maintaining a healthy lifestyle are critical to maintaining long-term weight loss. Here are tips recommended for people who are in the maintenance phase post-Bariatric surgery.
Practice mindful eating
Eat slowly and chew food thoroughly.
Avoid problem foods such as tough, fibrous, or overcooked meats, skin, and seeds of fruits and vegetables, nuts, and popcorn.
Never overeat. Stop eating when you begin to feel full. Overeating may cause stomach pouch dilation in the long run and may lead to weight regain.
Drink adequate (6–8 glasses) of water daily to avoid dehydration.
When going out, never be stranded without food. Always carry healthy snacks in your bag.
When eating out, use a small plate or bowl, especially at a buffet.
Maintain a food diary to find ways to change your eating habits.
Eat small & frequent meals
Skipping meals does not help with weight loss. In fact, it slows down the basal metabolic rate in the long run.
Eat frequent small meals which include three main meals with 2–3 mini-meals in a day.
Opt for healthy snacks like sprouts, fruits, etc. in between meals. Eat only if hungry.
Eat a protein-rich diet
Post-bariatric surgery protein is the most important nutrient. It helps the body in healing, supports rapid weight loss, is better for glycemic control, and helps in building lean body mass
Try to eat it first in every meal. Take a minimum of 60–80 grams of protein in a day.
You can add recommended protein supplements to meet your daily protein needs.
Avoid consuming empty calories
Foods like canned juices, sweetened drinks or biscuits, etc., that are high in calories but low in other nutrients are referred to as empty calories. They contain energy but little in the way of essential nutrients.
Eating high amounts of foods that are high in empty calories will cause nutrient deficiency and also interfere with your weight loss process.
Avoid Sugar and food with sugar content
Avoid taking castor sugar, honey, jaggery, jams, canned juices, and squashes or sugary beverages to avoid dumping syndrome post-bariatric surgery.
You can add fresh fruits in curd, milk, and porridge instead of sugar.
When shopping for groceries, always read labels for sugar content.
Metabolic surgery/ diabetes surgery helps resolve Type Diabetes. Taking sugar may interfere with long-term response and results.
Drinking liquids
Don’t drink liquids when eating solid food. It may force foods through the stomach pouch too quickly and may cause dumping syndrome in gastric bypass patients.
Take liquids minimum of 30 minutes before and after meals.
Don’t use a straw to drink liquids as then more air is taken in and satiety occurs faster. It may also cause discomfort in the stomach.
Avoid drinking aerated drinks as they Increase thirst& hunger, cause loss of fluids (due to their diuretic effects), and can increase the risk of kidney stones.
Opt for healthy options such as coconut water, lemon water, lassi, butter milk, veg soups, and veg juices to fulfill the daily liquid requirements.
Avoid alcohol intake
Take recommended nutritional supplements
After bariatric surgery, one needs to be very vigilant with their daily supplements.
Bariatric patients are required to take Multivitamins and doses of Vitamin D, Calcium, Iron, and Vitamin B12.
This is a lifetime commitment.
Life Style changes post-bariatric surgery
Meal planning is important. Eat Healthily.
Exercise. Workout with a combination of cardio & strength training.
Don’t avoid your follow-up visits. Regular follow-up will keep you motivated and also help timely diagnosis and treatment for nutritional deficiency, surgical complications, or any health issue.
Don’t give up, stick to your goals and stay happy!!

Meet @the.bariatric.foodie My mission is to show that even weight loss surgery you can still enjoy life and food just with lesser quantities and healthier options too. 2 yrs ago I was at my highest weight ever, 510lbs. I was hardly able to walk long distances, had to sleep sitting up, I had only 3 shirts that fit me & 1 pair of "jeans" and shorts. I was falling asleep while at work or at home and one time while at a red light. One morning I woke up and couldn't move my arms and wasnt able to breath so I went to the hospital and found out I was retaining 80% carbon dioxide and needed a bi-pap machine for 4 days to breath. I made the decision I needed to make a change and joined a popular meal replacement diet fad and it took me almost a year just to lose 11 pounds. I made the decision to consult a bariatric surgeon to consider my options. He recommended I have Gastric Bypass so after a 4mo waiting period I had my surgery on 7/26/18. After surgery I thought I ruined my life. I was sick for quite some time and thought I would never eat normal food again (something I found out a lot of bariatric patients experience this food mourning). After a short period of healing I was back to normal and losing weight rapidly by making better food choices and Hitting the gym regularly (after losing the weight I was finally able to be active). April of 2019 I am 9mo post-OP and have lost 258 pounds so far and will continue until 12-18 months post-op. I am loving every bit of life now and love the messages I get about how I helped someone make the choice to move forward and that life doesnt end after surgery.

So after the 24th (just about 2 weeks from now)... all I will have left to complete for my insurance approval is my blood work which I have scheduled for Dec 4 (because it has to be within 30 days of surgery)! I can’t believe how quick but slow this time seems to be going. It’s like, I can’t believe since I made the decision on Sept 12 to now, I’ve had my consult, my primary care doc wrote my referral letter and after this week I will have met with the nutritionist and hopefully have my psych clearance. But I also know it’s still about 2 and a half months away from my surgery date which seems so far, but I know with work and life, it’ll be here before I know it! 
I’m going to start incorporating a protein shake as a meal replacement next week in hopes of start shedding a few pounds before surgery. We’ll see what I can do, but any progress ahead of surgery I think will really set me up for a successful post-op. I also know it sounds crazy, but I want to try a few different brands a flavors to see which ones to buy. 
Any of my followers have recommendations as to what they liked and what flavors?

Food Funeral
Yesterday was my last day of “normal” food. I start clear liquids only today, and then surgery is scheduled for tomorrow. I had my last cup of coffee and ate all my favorite foods. Tata for now banana pudding! I had a dim outlook on all of this yesterday, but today is a new day. This isn’t about getting skinny; this is about a new life. Becoming a stronger, healthier, better me. And I am so excited.

It got to the point where I knew I had to do something about it fast, you know. My weight was getting out of control and I couldn’t even walk up the stairs without getting out of breath. I was pretty worried about my heart and blood sugar levels and my doctor gave me enough warnings. When I starting taking this new tonic formula in the mornings, I noticed the changes were happening after only 3 days. My junk food cravings just disappeared like that. I felt like I had lots of new energy, you know and the weight started dropping off real fast. The change in my quality of life has been phenomenal. I feel like I did when I was younger. I’d definitely recommend it if you want to make a change in your life for the better.

For years I didn’t go to the beach. I wouldn’t dare put on a one piece even if I put clothes over top. Losing some weight has given me a confidence I haven’t had in years. It couldn’t have come at a better time since we moved to Hawaii this summer. Not only do I love the beach but I have 2 pieces that I wear all the time. It feels so freeing to be happy in the skin I’m in. I’m learning everyday how to love myself a little more! 👉 @fromheavytohappy _______________ DONT MISS: Our main IG stories at @wlstories is updated A LOT and where we send special announcements!! . 💙 SPECIAL FEATURES: To anyone who mentions us in their post captions!!

TRUTH!!! Food addiction is something that needs to be overcome. It’s doesn’t come right away. We struggle with our “past” daily! Surgery is NOT a “quick fix”
