8 Bariatric Surgery Nutrition Guidelines Eat 3 small meals with 1 to 2 snacks per day! Each meal should take at least 45 minutes to complete Always eat protein rich foods first Avoid rice, red meat, chicken breast and pasta Anything dry will get stuck! No more than 1 slice of whole wheat toast per day Drink 6-8 glasses of water per day! No eating and drinking at the same time, wait 30 minutes between eating and drinking Make sure that liquids you drink contain zero calories and zero sugar! Avoid juice and sodas (liquid calories) Limit caffeinated beverages to 2 cups per day Limit alcohol intake (liquid calories) Read nutrition labels! check calories, fat and sugar content

9 Physical Activity and Exercise Although nutrition is important, healthy eating by itself is not enough to maximize your weight loss and keep your body healthy. Exercise plays an important role as well. Benefits of Exercise: Burn fat instead of muscle Lose weight faster Increase your level of energy Increase motivation to make healthy choices Reduce obesity-related complications (diabetes mellitus, heart disease, and sleep apnea) Improve self-esteem Reduce depression Simple ways to increase your active lifestyle: Walk or ride a bike instead of taking the bus, subway, or a cab Get off the bus or subway before your actual stop and walk the rest of the way Take the stairs instead of the elevator If you drive, park farther than usual from your destination for extra walking Use your lunch break at work as a chance to go on a speed walk To keep track of how much you walk, use a pedometer (a device that counts your steps) or estimate the distance. Try to work up to walking about 5 miles a day or about 10,000 steps a day. 20 blocks = about one mile Seven avenues = about one mile 7

10 Make an Exercise Schedule: Find a fitness center or gym: Other work-out options include public buildings (malls, supermarkets, and parks) Set a GOAL: Pick 3-5 days a week to exercise Be SPECIFIC: what type of exercise, time, and location PLAN in advance and mark your calendar Ask a friend to join you to motivate each other! Write down everything you do to keep track of your progress Sample Activity Log How Much Should You Exercise? Exercise at least minutes - moderate* or medium intensity days per week Examples of moderate/medium intensity exercises: speed walking water aerobics bicycling weight lifting tennis gardening *To check if you are exercising at a moderate/medium intensity do the talk test if you can talk but are unable to sing, then you are exercising at a moderate or medium intensity.
