Has Your Weight Loss Stalled After Surgery?
Many times, after a bariatric surgery procedure, the patient can experience rapid weight loss which, over time, slows to a crawl and then a complete halt. Why does this happen? With the decreased food and calorie intake, shouldn’t you be losing more weight? Unfortunately, according to a recent article in the Utica Observer Dispatch, sometimes more effort is required to maintain weight-loss after bariatric surgery.
What many doctors don’t stress is the fact that with a decreased caloric intake, your body may compensate by decreasing your metabolism as well. A good idea is to begin exercising in order to keep your metabolism cranking. The article outlines a simple workout routine that involves walking for 30 minutes per day, with options for expanding that program as you become more fit.
