The period after the
stomach sleeve operation is important for you to have a better health condition and reduce the risk of the other problems that are caused by obesity. After the gastric plication, you should follow the instructions such as the dietary guideline and body movement requirements that are given by the
doctor.
Even if you do not feel hungry, you should have 3 meals in a day. Between the meals, you can have healthy snacks. In your meals and snacks, you should not consume carbonated beverages because they can flex your stomach, because it reduces the effect of your bariatric surgery. You should drink water and other liquids at least 2 litres in a day. Consuming water prevents constipation, which is expected after the
gastric sleeve, and helps to reduce the feeling of hunger.
When it comes to the body movements of healing period after your
bariatric surgery, you should not lift weight at least 6 weeks. After 6 weeks, you can start with small walks and light exercises. You should sleep 6-8 hours in a day.
