When many people first learn about weight loss surgery, they think that it is an easy way to lose weight, that they do not have to actively diet or exercise, and that they can lose 60% to 80% of their excess weight with just one surgery. But in fact, weight loss surgery is not just a simple surgery. After the surgery, patients also need to improve their life, eating habits, and appropriate exercise to enhance the effect of weight loss and prevent regain. In other words, after weight loss surgery, we still need to control our diet and exercise, so how is this different from the combination of exercise and diet control? When we use the exercise + diet control method to lose weight, our daily energy intake should be lower than our energy consumption, so that we can consume fat and lose weight, so the requirements for exercise intensity are relatively high, and we also need to control our appetite and make reasonable nutritional meals. But after weight loss surgery, the diet becomes smaller, we do not need to deliberately restrain our appetite, we will continue to lose weight until the weight is stable, and only need to do some low-intensity exercise to help the body recover faster and maintain vitality, the difficulty is much lower than relying on exercise to lose weight. If you are demanding, you can also increase the intensity of exercise according to your own wishes, but by this time you will have lost a lot of weight. So compared to traditional weight loss methods, weight loss surgery has advantages in terms of effectiveness and difficulty, although it is not a “no-brainer”, but will make it easier to do.
