A Handy Guide to Prepare for Weight Loss Surgery

• Undergoing weight loss surgery is the first step
  to a successful weight loss story. To ensure that
  you get the desired results, you need to follow a
  strict diet and workout plan after the surgery.
  You may also need to invest some extra time in
  planning your meals and workout strategy to
  ensure that you stick to your surgeons
  recommendations.
• Having a hectic schedule, however, may act as a
  barrier in following the diet plan and exercise
  routine. Therefore, we provide you some easy tips
  that save time and help you follow post-operative
  guidelines.

1. Prepare One Meal for Everyone in the Family

• Preparing separate meals for your family takes a
  lot of time. Encourage your family to follow a
  healthy lifestyle and avoid preparing unhealthy
  meals that may lead to weight gain. Preparing the
  same meal not only makes healthy eating a
  routine, but you also get more time to focus on
  your weight loss goal.
• Preparing a healthy meal, however, doesnt imply
  that you will deprive your family of the food
  they love. You can prepare their favorite food
  once in a week, but make sure you dont deviate
  from your diet plan.

2. Switch to Healthy Meal Helpers

• Meal helpers are a time saver however, after
  undergoing a weight loss surgery, you need to
  move over those boxes of pastas, rice helpers and
  family-sized pizzas. Shift your focus to healthy
  meal helpers such as pre-cut salad, rotisserie
  chicken, and marinated chicken breast.
• Healthy meal helpers not only, provide the
  desired nutrients, but also save time. You can
  also opt for instant high-protein meals whenever
  you need a quick bite and dont have the time to
  prepare a wholesome meal. Healthy meal helpers
  are ideal for breakfast, lunch or a quick dinner
  when you are not in the mood to cook.

3. Stay Healthy by Multitasking

• Multitasking is often seen as a waste of time, as
  the person has to switch their attention between
  multiple tasks that may lead to confusion.
  However, when it comes to losing weight after a
  weight loss surgery, multitasking has more than
  one benefit.
• It not only helps you keep your mind away from
  irregular pangs of hunger, but also saves time,
  giving you more time to exercise. In addition,
  walking your kids to and from school and engaging
  with them in outdoor activities will not only
  help you stay fit, but also build a healthy
  relationship with them.

4. Dont Be a Couch Potato

• One of the main reasons of obesity and weight
  gain is a lack of exercise and movement. Being a
  couch potato doesnt help, especially after a
  weight loss surgery, as you need to be proactive
  to achieve the desired results.
• Even if you have a desk job, make sure that you
  remain active throughout the day, by taking a
  break after every hour or so, and using stairs
  instead of a lift. These small lifestyle changes
  are effective ways to enhance your metabolism and
  lose weight. Being on the move, however, doesnt
  imply that you can compromise on your commitments.

Plan in Advance

• Planning meals, grocery shopping, and other
  household chores in advance will help you
  maintain your diet and also saves time.
• Planning in advance makes it easy to complete
  your grocery shopping without spending too much
  time, and cook healthy meals without spending too
  much money. Planning in advance also lets you use
  the leftovers and saves you from having to cook
  another meal.
