The ultimate goal of weight-loss surgery is to improve your health. Surgery is a tool to achieve and maintain your health and weight-loss goals. Even after surgery, it may take months or years before you reach your goal weight.
To maintain your weight once you reach your goal, you will still need to commit to:
Taking lifelong dietary supplements, including calcium and a bariatric multivitamin.
Eating a variety of healthy foods — including vegetables, fruit, lean protein and low-fat dairy.
Regular physical activity most days of the week.
Drinking 48 to 64 ounces of recommended liquids daily – water, herbal tea, and certain sugar-free, non-carbonated, caffeine-free drinks.
Never smoking or drinking alcohol.
