Shaking your head to agree for a Bariatric surgery
needs a lot of courage and determination. Considering
the risk involved in such surgeries, it's finally a
tough decision you make. After the surgery, you have
to bring in a lot of changes in your diet. No more binging,
over eating or thriving on fatty foods. But it's essential
that you follow a healthy, well balanced diet which
can keep you away from further obesity complications.
Post surgery diet, have a look
- After the surgery your small stomach will only hold
about an ounce
- Only nutritious liquids are allowed in the first
week of surgery
- After surgery people should avoid high carb foods
- Stay away from chips, pasta, rice and breads. These
foods can expand and cause dangerous blockage
- Milk lovers should wait to begin their lactose consumption
as lactose can cause indigestion and also nausea,
cramps, gas or diarrhea
- Protein is important. Once protein is introduced
into your body follow it with fruits and vegetables
- You should have at least 60 grams of proteins
Also take proteins in the form of liquid powder
or protein bars After surgery patients will have to take vitamin
and mineral supplements post-surgery.
Don't take it too lightly as improper
food patterns will lead to serious complications. Over
filling your stomach can cause minor problems like nausea,
diarrhea, abdominal rumbling or more serious problems
like low blood pressure, faintness, anxiety or sweating.
Doctors advice and instruct you about the daily diet
routines, food patterns and the importance of exercise.
Bariatric surgery is one big step in life which you
will be taking. So before you do it, be aware of its
risks, benefits and health advantages it can give you
for a trouble free life as far as weight problems are
concerned.
