Weight loss surgery after doing the right thing or not, the difference is so big

  With the widespread implementation of mature weight loss procedures such as gastric bypass, more and more fat and sugar lovers have regained their health and confidence after undergoing surgery. However, a small number of people have poor post-operative results, either regaining weight or experiencing conditions such as hair loss and malnutrition. What is this all about? In fact, it is closely related to whether the post-operative management is proper or not.  Unlike conventional gastrointestinal tumor surgery, bariatric surgery is a systemic project, and the management of a healthy lifestyle and diet and nutrition after surgery is particularly important. Different bariatric surgery centers have different results. To obtain the ideal results, it is necessary to rely on the excellent medical team to perform professional and precise surgery, but also cannot be separated from the health management team to follow up and manage the post-operative lifestyle and diet and nutrition, which is what we often call “five to five (five parts surgery, five parts management)”. It has been proved that post-operative management and guidance by physicians, nutritionists, health managers and other experts; at the same time, they also pay attention to follow the medical advice to control diet and strengthen exercise, to ‘control the mouth and open the legs’ of the fat and sugar lovers, they can obtain long-term weight loss and sugar reduction effect.  First of all, in terms of diet, gastric bypass surgery changes the process of food passing through the gastrointestinal tract and reconstructs the digestive tract, and it takes time to adapt to the new digestive tract after discharge. Therefore, you should start with soft to hard foods to complete the adaptation process. Generally, you should start with clear liquid food, then move to liquid food, then semi-liquid food, and finally soft food in a gradual adaptation process.  After the recovery phase, it will not affect the normal work and life, but we should pay attention to the protection of the stomach. Because the stomach volume is smaller after the surgery, it is easy to get full, so in order to eat more food and protect the stomach, you should chew the food as much as possible, and develop the habit of chewing slowly and eating less and more. When you can’t eat, don’t force yourself to eat more. When you eat, you can choose to eat meat first, then vegetables, and then main food.  The nutritional status should be monitored regularly after surgery, and the supplementation of nutrients should be individualized, and micronutrient supplementation should be provided to those who are determined to have micronutrient deficiencies. Many studies have shown that the more follow-ups you have after weight loss surgery, the better the results of weight loss, because diligent follow-ups indicate the importance you attach to your health. Through follow-up visits health managers and nutritionists can grasp your physical condition and develop the best diet and nutrition plan for you. And those who never follow up fat friends may have anemia, weight rebound, hair loss, osteoporosis and other conditions.  Second, proper exercise is also needed. Weight loss surgery is usually ready to get out of bed on the first day after surgery. It is also necessary to do exercise after discharge from the hospital, but note that the intensity of exercise needs to be controlled, and the intensity that can be tolerated at different times during the post-operative recovery time period is different.  One to two weeks after surgery: gentle exercise such as walking Three to four weeks after surgery: brisk walking One month after surgery: trotting The second month after surgery: normal exercise such as swimming, gym, ball games In short, you need to follow the requirements of your health manager and never force your body without permission.  In conclusion, obese and diabetic patients who have undergone weight loss metabolic surgery are not resting on their laurels. It also requires post-operative lifestyle management by a health manager; and a dietitian to develop a post-operative diet plan with nutritional follow-up. With the layers of health managers and dietitians, fat and sugar patients will recover at the fastest speed and maintain a long-lasting weight loss and sugar reduction effect.  Post-operative management is crucial!
