Nutritional Considerations

After gastric sleeve surgery, your stomach capacity is significantly reduced, requiring a shift in your dietary approach. "Eating After Gastric Sleeve Surgery" provides expert guidance on:

Protein Intake

Protein is essential for post-surgical recovery and weight loss. Aim for 60-80 grams of protein per day, prioritizing lean sources like chicken, fish, and tofu.

Hydration

Staying hydrated is crucial to prevent dehydration and support overall health. Drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially before and after meals.

Portion Control

Your new stomach size necessitates mindful eating and portion control. Use smaller plates, measure food portions, and listen to your body's hunger cues.

Nutrient Absorption

Gastric sleeve surgery can impact nutrient absorption. The book provides strategies to address potential deficiencies, such as vitamin B12 and iron supplements.
