Hi, I’m Michelle Phelan, Nutritionist at Blossom Bariatrics, and I’m here today to go over a few frequently asked questions from our patients.
We have patients that are concerned that they stop losing weight or they start gaining weight out about six months to a year post surgery. A great way to get back on track is to do, what I call, reset. We need to reset your body again. Remember when you first got out of surgery. You we’re doing your two protein drinks a day and a meal of meat and vegetables. Well, folks that’s where we need to go back. We need to start your day with a whey protein drink or shake of your favorite recipe, for a favorite smoothie. I would love to have you do that for two meals a day, lots of water, lots of fluid in between those shakes and whatever meal you want to make your main meal, that’s where you’re going to have your meat or your protein source and your vegetables. Don’t be afraid about dressings. Please make sure that your dressing is an olive oil-based version, like maybe olive oil vinaigrette or an Italian-based dressing with olive oil. This works really well for the majority of our patients. If you have any additional questions, feel free to contact us at www.blossombariatrics.com. Thanks for watching and have a healthy day.
