Preparing for Bariatric Surgery
You’ve weighed your options and decided that weight loss surgery is best for you. So, what now?
If you’re a Foothills Weight Loss Specialists patient, you’ll get a pre-operative behavioral plan designed to help ensure your weight loss success. The plan includes elements that will prepare your body and your mind for surgery. Here are some highlights:
• Take the long view of this process. Remember that you are not perfect. Getting it right 80 percent of the time is good enough.
• Chew food slowly. Try to chew each bite 30-40 times.
• Get 60 minutes of exercise or non-exercise movement every day.
• Consume 64 ounces of water every day.
• Consume only good carbs – whole grains, vegetables, fruits and beans.
• Respect your body; respect yourself.
Following this pre-operative behavioral plan will help you form positive habits that can last a lifetime.
