Going for weight loss surgery calls for a lot of examinations and thorough medications! You even need to control your diet and lifestyle changes before getting under the knife, as recommended by doctors. The best doctors from our side at Best Bariatric Surgeon would love to offer you with weight loss surgical help under bariatric surgery.
We have housed some of the best bariatric surgery doctors in Mumbai, who are not just going to perform the surgery on you, but will also provide you with the post-surgical care as well. There are some do’s and don’ts you need to follow once you have gone through bariatric surgery and our doctors from Bestbariatricsurgeon are more than happy to help you with the points to follow. So, let’s begin with the procedures to follow.
Don’ts after bariatric surgery:
Our bariatric surgeons in Mumbai will start off with the things you should avoid once you have gone through the hectic weight loss surgery, if you want to maintain the look for a long time.
Some dietary changes:
Do not start following the pre-surgery diet after you have been under the knife. Our surgeons will provide you with the post-procedure meal to follow.
- Avoid drinking any of the carbonated beverages for sure. The gases will build up within your stomach and will stretch it out to create more space. This extra space will increase your craving for food and it is against your current weight loss goal.
- Avoid drinking with your meals once you are out from our weight loss surgery at Best Bariatric Surgeon. Liquid in the stomach will speed up the rate in which your food moves towards the small intestine. If the food moves too quickly, that results in dumping syndrome. It gives rise to symptoms like cramping, bloating, diarrhoea, vomiting and lower blood pressure.
It is highly recommended to avoid drinking 30 minutes before and after you have taken your meal. In case dumping syndrome takes place, our bariatric surgeon in Mumbai is always there to help you.
Avoid drinking alcohol:
After you have gone through our bariatric surgery, your body will be more sensitive to alcohol. So, drinking the same amount like you used to will harm your body big time. We will recommend you to stop consuming alcohol for about a year after you have gone through weight loss surgery. Even when you plan to resume drinking, make sure to do it in smaller quantities.
Avoid smoking:
As your new stomach is narrower after our bariatric surgery, smoking will give rise to pain. Along with that, the carbon monoxide from smoke will make the blood cells less able to carry down nutrition and oxygen to your cells. So, our doctors from Bestbariatricsurgeon will highly recommend you to quit smoking permanently after you have gone through our bariatric surgery.
Do’s:
Once you are sure of the don’ts, it is time to chalk out the dos after the bariatric surgery. Let’s get into some details together!
- Always try to eat small meals. In any of our bariatric procedures, the size of the stomach will get reduced. So, you can’t consume the same amount of food like you used to.
- Always add a good amount of protein in your diet plan. We will suggest you to avoid higher calorie centric food items and look for the food products that will give your body the energy it needs. So, with fat loss, there will be muscle loss too. Protein is your macronutrient and will help in maintaining the present muscle mass.
- We will recommend you to take complete care of your mental health after you have gone through the surgery. We will ask you to consult a psychologist or find a similar group to be an active member of. There is nothing to be embarrassed about as we have seen a lot of patients going through the same mental uneasiness after surgery! You are not the only one.
Apart from these points, we will recommend you to take vitamins from time to time as recommended by our surgeons. And make sure to add plenty of water within your diet plan.
