In order to have a successful gastric sleeve surgery, patients will need to follow strict guidelines. These guidelines will help you lose weight, minimize complications, risks and even unwanted side effects.
Things to Follow After Surgery:
- Exercise – Patients who exercise will accelerate weight loss and reduce side effects. Exercise will also increase patient morale and reduce depression. Patients should exercise for 30-35 minutes, 4 or 5 days per week.
- Daily Meals – Patients will need to focus on three daily meals and healthy eating habits. Please reference our gastric sleeve diet to learn more.
- 64-Ounces of Water – Patients will need to consume at least 8 glasses of water per day (more if the day is humid).
- Daily Vitamins – Patients will need to consume the necessary daily vitamins required for post-operative patients.
- 60-80 grams of Protein – Patients will need to consume 60-70 grams of protein a day, men will need to consume 75-85 daily grams.
- Eating – Patients will follow all of the necessary dieting rules after surgery, these rule are designed to help reduce complications and side effects.
- Minimize Carbs – Patients need to watch and minimize their intake of carbohydrates.
- Weighing – Patients shouldn’t weigh themselves more than a few times a month. Patients need to think and behave in a long-term manner.
Weight Loss Plateaus and Exercise Guidelines
Most times patients who are in weight loss plateaus can easily adjust their lifestyle to jump off the plateaus. Patients consuming too many carbohydrates can easily be stuck in a plateau. Minimizing carbohydrates will normally break the weight loss plateaus – try exchanging carbohydrates with protein and fiber, which will keep you feel fuller longer.
If you’re undergoing a weight training program / exercise regime you could be stuck in a weight plateau. However your plateau could be not legitimate, muscle weighs more than fat and patients can be easily be mislead into believing they are not losing fat when they are. It’s important to look at your body to see how you’re improving.
For the first 30 days, patients should not engage in strenuous exercises including weight-lifting, running, or ab-crunches. We recommend that patients start by walking for 20 minutes for the first fourteen days after the surgery. After 15 days, patients can work up to 30-40 minutes of exercise per day.
- Swimming – Wait at least 15 days before using the tub or the pool. Wounds can easily be infected if the wound has not fully healed. Overall, swimming is a great exercise that can include resistance training.
- Weight Lifting – Wait at least 30 days after surgery to include lite resistance training. Use weights you can manage, and still incorporate cardiovascular exercise.
