Rapid weight loss after gastric sleeve: myth or reality?
Most patients think that as soon as the surgery is over, weight loss will happen quickly and they will lose weight quickly! But the noteworthy point is that the gastric sleeve operation is designed for gradual weight loss. Please do not confuse gastric sleeve with liposuction; Instant weight loss is specific to liposuction. Weight loss after gastric sleeve is usually done gradually after the operation. But some patients may not lose weight even 3 weeks after gastric sleeve. Of course, as soon as weight loss starts, the speed of weight loss increases over time.
Reasons of weight gain after gastric sleeve
Knowing the cause of the problem is half the solution. Researchers have identified 8 possible causes of step weight, knowing them will help you to identify the root of this problem and find the right solution more easily. ### 1. Not consuming prescribed calories
We want to hit one of your misconceptions about weight loss after gastric sleeve. Maybe until today you thought that the less you eat after the operation, the thinner you will be. While if you consume less than the set number of calories, it will not only speed up your weight loss process, but it will also cause weight gain after gastric sleeve. If you make your body feel hungry by consuming less calories, your body will also go to work and attack the muscles and fat stores. This will slow down the weight loss process. So it is in your best interest to follow the diet prescribed by your doctor. ### 2. Eating unbalanced meals
If you're consuming between 1000 and 1200 calories a day, but still not losing weight, it could be because you're on a poor diet. A proper diet after gastric sleeve is a balanced diet.
Proteins increase muscle building and help you lose weight without losing muscle and vital fat. Your meal plan may be in such a way that you consume all the daily carbohydrates in one meal, all the daily protein in the second meal, and all the vegetables and fruits in the third meal. This diet plan is completely unbalanced and wrong. If you have followed this diet plan, we must say that you are making a big mistake! A balanced diet should contain all the vital nutrients in every meal. It is usually suggested to fill half of the plate with vegetables. Fill the remaining half with protein and the other half with carbohydrates. Of course, your doctor's opinion is very important; Therefore, pay attention to their advice and the food plan they have suggested. ### 3. Not following the food plan
If you think you've gone all the way to weight loss with gastric sleeve surgery, you're seriously wrong. In the path you have taken, in order not to gain weight after the gastric sleeve, you must follow your food plan carefully and persistently. We all spend the first two or three days of starting anything with enthusiasm, but the further we go, the less motivated we are. But in any case, you should not forget that whoever wants a peacock, kills like India! You must follow your diet plan regularly and according to the doctor's opinion. You need to know exactly what to take, when and how much. Sometimes we get caught! Admit it, many of us give up when we see small successes. This is why some people who lose weight quickly at first, stop following their diet after a while and their weight loss process becomes slower and slower. Note that in order not to gain weight after stomach sleeve, you must check, implement and follow your food plan just like a gladiator. ### 4. Excessive consumption of snacks
It's really hard to stick to a single-ingredient, whole-foods diet for weeks or months at a time. Your doctor may recommend two snacks between meals to prevent your meal plan from becoming monotonous and boring. So far there is no problem. But the main problem starts when you overeat in the consumption of snacks. It's really fun to eat comfort food and you might end up waiting all day to have a snack and overindulging. Well, it is clear that the process of losing weight goes slowly or even the process may stop and you will experience weight loss after the gastric sleeve.
If you've been thinking about skipping a meal and replacing it with a snack, it's not a smart move at all. Because this process still prevents weight loss. So don't even think about it! ### 5. Not providing enough water
Your doctor recommends drinking 8 full glasses of water in your nutrition plan after gastric sleeve surgery. It also recommends not drinking water or other liquids with your meals and 30 minutes before and after meals. If you don't follow these instructions, you should prepare yourself for the weight step after the gastric sleeve. In addition to its health benefits, staying hydrated makes you feel full and makes it easier to control your diet. In addition, providing the body with the necessary water through drinking water, makes you less inclined to provide water through the consumption of soft drinks, tea, coffee, alcoholic beverages, etc. This is for your benefit; Because any drink other than water adds calories to your diet and makes the process of losing weight more difficult. ### 6. Inactivity and physical activity
Like it or not, believe me you cannot lose weight by sitting in a corner, eating and sleeping. Although weight loss after gastric sleeve is just like a circle that revolves around the sharp point of pregar, that is, diet; But the importance of exercise and physical activity cannot be neglected. A sedentary lifestyle not only threatens your health, but also slows down the weight loss process and you may experience weight gain after gastric sleeve. In the first three months after surgery, intense sports are prohibited; But you can do gentle exercise and walking. But when your doctor gives you permission to do weight training and heavy exercises, you should focus on building a toned and beautiful body. This work will make you physically fit, and you won't have a weight gain after the gastric sleeve. ### 7. Physiological conditions
Sleep apnea, adrenal fatigue, hormonal fluctuations, poisoning and insomnia are physiological conditions that can prevent weight loss after gastric sleeve. You may have to take drugs that have a negative effect on weight loss to treat these cases. If your physiological condition is the cause of weight gain after gastric sleeve, don't blame yourself. You are not to blame for your health problems. Base your targeting on the treatment of these disorders. After improving the condition and consulting your doctor, you can go through the weight loss process without any problems. ### 8. Emotional problems
We all need a supporter and encourager on the way to reach our goals. This sponsor can be a friend or family member. But if you are deprived of the presence of this supporter and instead you are constantly injected with the negative thoughts of your companions, much sooner than you think, you will fail in the path of weight loss and you will face the weight step after the stomach sleeve.
You may be overly strict and obsessively go over your schedule and constantly use other people to implement it. Anyway, try to keep calm and continue on your way. Know this, the way to lose weight is not very easy and requires strong determination. Don't care what other people think. Put on iron shoes and continue on the path stronger than before.
