After the surgery you will advance slowly with the diet. First you will start with a clear liquid fase, then full liquids which are thicker in consistency, then puree diet, you will be tolerating a regular solid diet one month after surgery.
Your diet will be primarily based on protein.
Your body will go through a process of adaptation, there are hormonal changes that will be occurring internally. This, with the weight loss will improve your medical problems. Your blood pressure will improve, your glucose levels will improve. The effects are different with every patient, but there will be marked improvement shortly after surgery.
You must follow up with me and my nutritionist regularly, as instructed, this will depend on your progression and your weight loss.
You must incorporate exercise in your life. Once you have started to lose weight you will feel more motivated, with more energy to work out. My team and I will guide you every step of the way.
You will be encouraged to assist to our support groups. We meet up every 1-2 months to talk about different topics, recommendations and up to date information about the different surgeries. You will be able to meet and interact with other patients who have been already operated or will be operated on to share your experiences.
