Bariatric Surgery
Bariatric surgery is a weight loss surgery option where one
of three procedures will occur. One option is a medical device called a gastric
band. It is placed around the upper part of the stomach to reduce food
consumption and is typically adjustable. The second and third options are
partial removal of the stomach or gastric bypass surgery which divides the
stomach into two sections and redirects the small intestines to both sections.
A bariatric surgery diet is needed before and after the
surgery occurs and is actually quite necessary.
The majority of surgeons will actually require a pre bariatric surgery
diet with the need for at least ten percent of body weight lost. The reason
that this is necessary is to make sure that the patient may be operated on
safely. A bariatric surgery diet can
ensure that the patient’s liver has shrunken, remove excess triglycerides from
around the liver and spleen and reduce body fat. That means that operating time will decrease
and the risk of excessive surgical bleeding will decrease; therefore increasing
the patients safety during surgery. Last
but not least a diet will help a patient recover from their surgery; a
bariatric surgery diet typically requires a higher intake of protein and a
decreased intake of carbohydrates, refined sugars, fats, and high calories.
This will cause you to gain lean muscle, the protein will help protect muscle
tissue and the patient will have begun the habit of eating the proper diet
needed post operation.
There are many weight loss surgery options when it comes to
bariatric surgery. Fast weight loss is not ideal here; the goal is to begin a
habitual, steady diet that will be a part of your life forever. A liquid diet
may be suggested by your doctor however they are often considered too stressful
for the body before bariatric surgery and may even slow down healing after
surgery. While considering weight loss surgery options it is important to keep
key factors in mind; the bariatric surgery diet should be high in protein (70-120
grams per day), low in fat and caloric intake should be limited to 800-1200
calories based on your body’s body mass index. The diet should start at least
two to three months before bariatric surgery and if the proper result are not
show the doctor may postpone surgery.
Many delicious foods and supplements can help you lose
weight and it is important that as many as possible are implemented into your
diet for weight loss. Salad is a great option because greens such as, lettuce,
spinach and chard are naturally low in carbohydrates. Some other vegetable that are low in
carbohydrates are sprouts, celery, herbs, broccoli, squash, zucchini, onions,
tomatoes, artichokes, asparagus, cucumbers and many, many more. Vegetables also
provide lots of essential vitamins, minerals and fiber to help you stay
healthy. There are also many delicious
ways to cook vegetable to help you stay on track of your weight loss diet
plan. The main sources of carbohydrates
that you need to avoid for weight loss are rice, foods from grains such as
cereal, pasta and bread as well as dairy and sugary foods. Although it may sound obvious it is also
important to stay away from fried foods, butter and other foods that are rich
in fat. Since cheese, beans and nuts are
the highest in protein but are either too high in carbs, fat or calories it is
important to stay healthy and use protein supplements as a meal replacement at
least one meal per day. Lean meats that are high in protein are chicken, pork,
turkey, lamb, tuna, salmon, lobster and crab.
Seeds of all varieties make a good choice as a snack as well as
additions to food such as salads. Using
these vegetables and meats as substitutes in your favorite recipes will quickly
turn them into weight loss recipes and will increase the likelihood that you
enjoy them.
Bariatric Surgery is indeed a weight loss surgery option
that can yield life-changing results for people that are seriously obese. As
with any surgery option you should get advice from more than one doctor, and
then go with the surgeon that you feel most comfortable with. A surgeon is a
trained professional and will discuss bariatric surgery with you as well as
other weight loss surgery options to help you determine the most appropriate
course of action for your planned weight loss.
