Why sports are needed after gastric bypass

Why sports are needed after gastric bypass surgery
Gastric bypass surgery is the most effective surgical treatment for obesity. But even after it, physical activity is mandatory.

Physical activity and diet are equally important after bariatric surgery to restore a healthy lifestyle. For weight loss patients, active exercise and proper nutrition go hand in hand. Regular exercise also helps prevent the loss of muscle mass that can occur when the body loses weight rapidly. Finally, exercise boosts your metabolism, which helps you burn calories even when you're resting.

For bariatric surgery patients who lead a sedentary lifestyle, doctors recommend starting with walking, even before weight loss surgery. Just one 10-minute walk a day before your procedure will help you develop a habit that you can easily keep after surgery. For best results, a walking program should be started after the procedure. Try to walk for 15-20 minutes every day immediately 6 hours after surgery. In summer or in hot and humid weather, walk on a treadmill in a climate-controlled room to stay hydrated.

After gastric bypass, you still need to go to the gym

Gradually increase your walking time until you reach 40 to 60 minutes of activity. Even with the restricted diet that bariatric surgery requires, you will be able to walk comfortably within 30-45 minutes. Start at a slow pace and increase it as you feel stronger and also to avoid overexertion.

A successful exercise program after bariatric surgery must be progressive. However, you should wait at least one to two weeks before trying anything more energetic. Add light, free weights, and coaching if possible. Light yoga is also a good element to include in the regimen. Slowly add strength training and high-intensity muscle-building exercises.
