Mini Gastric bypass surgery is becoming a popular treatment for weight loss. The surgery requires less time to operate but it offers long-term weight loss benefits. The person undergoing this surgery needs to take extra care after the surgery for avoiding infection and speeding up the recovery process. Have a look at the following tips for post-treatment care of this surgery.
Drink Adequate Water
The cell membrane is made of water. The cell requires adequate water to remove toxins, improve metabolism, improve immunity, and tighten the skin. These benefits of water are helpful in speedy recovery after the surgery. Ideally, a person undergoing this surgery should drink three liters of water a day. However, if you are taking other liquids like protein shakes and clear soups, you may reduce the water intake up to two liters a day. However, do not drink water before a meal.
Dietary Supplements
The surgeon will recommend dietary supplements for speedy recovery. You will need Calcium, Vitamin C (for better immunity), and protein to build muscles. Aside these ingredients, you will also need a small portion of carbohydrates to gain energy for light exercise like walking. You should also increase the intake of vitamins in the form of organic fruit juices and non-carbonated vitamin drinks.
Avoid Alcohol, Smoking or Carbonated Drinks
The higher proportions of alcohol, carbon, or nicotine can react with the medicines and cause infectious chemical reactions in the body. Therefore, you should completely avoid alcohol, nicotine drinks like coffee, smoking, and carbonated drinks.
Stay Motivated
The surgeon will suggest you to walk after 2–3 days of the surgery. This is helpful in avoiding stiffness and infection in the surgery area. Your food will not include nicotine, fats, and alcohol. You need to stay motivated to stick with this routine.
