Bariatric Surgery is a life changing experience for anyone. It not only transforms the body but also brings mental, psychological, behavioral and social changes. Though the best part is all the changes are positive in nature. To maintain the positivity in life, we suggest following 5 good practices that one must follow post bariatric surgery –
- Exercise Regularly – Often people stop exercising after few months of Bariatric Surgery because of lack of motivation. Post bariatric patients must look for a company or a group that keeps them inspired for exercising routine.
- Follow Diet – Diet plays the most important role in weight management after bariatric surgery. If patient sticks to the diet suggested by bariatric nutritionist, 80% of excessive weight can be shred within 1st year of bariatric surgery.
- Avoid Alcohol –Alcohol is the major cause of weight gain in most of the obese people. As a good practice, bariatric patients should avoid alcohol or limit the quantity.
- Avoid Smoking – Smoking is injurious to health. Bariatric Surgery is a life changing experience for most of the patients and that’s why we suggest avoiding all the bad habits, and restarting with all the good lifestyle practices.
- Add Natural Sweeteners – Usually bariatric patients are fond of sweets and that’s why dietician gives them some options of natural sweeteners which they should experiment with in their day to day life (replacing Sugar) for maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
