Many people successfully lose weight after surgery. It’s normal to experience some pain and discomfort, and the recovery time depends on the type of procedure and each person’s health.
You must follow a strict nutrition plan after weight loss surgery, often starting with a liquid diet, and then transitioning to soft foods until the body can adjust to solid foods again. Because weight loss surgery can change the way the body absorbs nutrients, you may need to take vitamins and supplements to prevent nutritional deficiencies.
Exercise is also a part of a healthy lifestyle plan. You will start slowly and eventually work toward a suggested exercise routine to build strength as you continue to lose weight.
