Bariatric Support Tip Of The Month
There are 2 important things to remember after surgery:
1. Keep on moving – stay active go to gym, walk , work in the garden, clean the pool or wash the dog whatever you like doing as long as you get a 45 minute workout every day.
2. Be Food-wise, although it is important to be mindful of what you eat, more important ( certainly for me) is portion size – make a fist… see your fist that’s the size of your stomach…try to keep portion sizes within that range.
