Bariatric surgery is just the beginning of a journey toward a healthier life. Long-term success depends on the adaptations you make after the procedure.


Changes in diet:

  • Small, frequent meals: Due to the small size of the stomach, it is important to eat small portions several times a day.

  • Nutrient-dense foods: Prioritize lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to ensure your body gets essential nutrients.

  • Hydration: Drink water regularly, but avoid doing so during meals to avoid filling your stomach too quickly.


Medical follow-up: It is crucial to attend all follow-up appointments with your medical team to monitor progress and detect possible complications. This includes regular check-ups with the surgeon, nutritionist, and, if necessary, a psychologist.


Physical Activity: Exercise is essential to maintaining weight loss and improving overall health. Start with low-impact activities, such as walking, and gradually increase the intensity.


Emotional support: Changes in weight and appearance can bring emotional challenges. Participating in support groups or seeking professional help can be of great benefit.


Conclusion: Bariatric surgery is a powerful tool to combat obesity, but true success depends on your commitment to a healthy lifestyle and your continued efforts to maintain the results.
