Post-Surgery Lifestyle: How to Keep the Weight Off

Losing weight is no small feat for anyone.

Whether you’ve tried to drop pounds with diet and exercise alone or have opted into a total weight loss regimen that includes metabolic surgery, keeping the weight off can be just as challenging as losing it in the first place.

While sticking to a healthy diet and practicing regular exercise after surgery are great options for a long-term healthy lifestyle, they are not always enough to maintain a healthy BMI or mitigate symptoms of obesity-related health conditions, such as type 2 diabetes.

For most, significant weight loss is a common occurrence immediately following weight loss surgery. At some point, though, most people reach a level where the scale number doesn’t change much; these are known as weight loss plateaus.

It is essential to know that weight loss plateaus are normal and affect most people during their weight loss journey. Understanding how to keep the weight off after surgery is crucial to your new, healthier lifestyle.

If you’re struggling to maintain a healthy weight and BMI after bariatric surgery, such as gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy, our metabolic specialists are here to help every step of the way.

Keeping the weight off for the long haul is possible with the right support group, medical team, and the implementation of vital lifestyle changes. Let’s dive into effective ways to maintain your weight in more detail.

Effective Ways to Keep the Weight Off

The best way to keep the weight off after bariatric surgery is to follow a healthy diet rich in whole foods.

It is also critical to follow the advice of your bariatric surgeon precisely to stay on track throughout your weight loss and health journey.

Some best practices to keep in mind to maintain a healthy weight include

  • Eating lean proteins, whole grains, low-fat dairy, fruits, and vegetables.
  • Cutting back on carbohydrates and refined sugars and avoiding foods that contain more than 15 grams of sugar per serving
  • Tracking and consuming enough protein to keep you full and satisfied
  • Increasing your exercise frequency and overall exercise minutes; aim for 250 to 300 minutes weekly
  • Changing up your workout routine regularly
  • Managing stress
  • Getting a good night’s sleep
  • Avoiding alcohol and smoking
  • Adding more fiber to your diet
  • Consuming enough water each day
  • Eating slowly; each meal should last at least 20 to 30 minutes
  • Eating smaller meals more frequently
  • Separating eating and drinking by 30 minutes
  • Continuing to take suggested multivitamins and mineral supplements

Comprehensive Surgical Options to Keep the Weight Off

If you or someone you love is living with obesity and struggling to lose weight with diet and exercise alone, weight loss surgery may be the best option for you.

Comprehensive weight loss treatment, such as gastric sleeve procedure, can help you lose significant weight, while our team of weight loss experts can provide the tools and education you need to keep the weight off for good.

With the proven effects of significantly decreasing your body weight and alleviating other obesity-related health conditions, weight loss surgery positively impacts your life.

Contact our team of bariatric experts today to schedule a free consultation and determine if weight loss surgery is right for you.
