Most that are added to the include minerals, vitamins and meal replacements. These are especially important since a patient who has just undergone bariatric surgery has to take small portions of foods. Small food portions more often than not mean less vitamins and minerals. often contain high protein levels and a lot of fibre and all these limit the amount of food one can eat after having the size of the gastrointestinal tract reduced. Bariatric Food Products have started a new line of bariatric supplements to make their whole.

A popular form of is Probiotics. Probiotics supplement the to help maintain the appropriate assemblage of a healthy digestive system. These also help in maintaining bowel health, bowel regularity, immunity and carbohydrate absorption. A common type of Probiotics used is acidophilus. Another example of these is a formulation that is made up of bifid bacterium lactis and lactobacillus acidophilus. Probiotics supplements for are available in the form of capsules or powders.

Bariatric Food Products also include Omega-3 as part of their main supplements. Omega-3 are used to boost general health after the surgery. It benefits almost every vital organ from the skin to the bowels to one’s mental health. Omega-3 in the fish capsules- has 180mg EPA and 125mg DHA. There are also flavoured Omega-3 capsules which have 200mg DHA and 300mg EPA.

Another supplement for is calcium. Calcium come in the form of either a carbonate or citrate. They may come in the form of crystals which are dissolved in water or as chewy treats. Each calcium dose may provide anything between 400mg to 600mg of calcium. The difference between the carbonate and citrate forms of these is that the carbonate form requires a much more acidic stomach than the calcium citrate form.

Protein can also be used to complete the . The most common sources for these include soy, whey and rice. They are manufactured to be in smoothies-form to complement the . Rice protein is a particularly good since it is gluten free and low in fat and sugar. Soy is a good supplement for as it is vegetable based and therefore cholesterol free.

One popular alternative to liposuction is Radiofrequency Assisted Lipoplasty. This new medical procedure for treating fat and cellulite is a way for patients to see dramatic results in a relaxing way with no downtime.

Using a form of radio frequency to deliver volumetric heat without damaging the epidermis, the procedure works to melt both subcutaneous and unhealthy visceral fat (that even liposuction cannot treat), reduce cellulite, reshape problem areas, tighten skin and reduce wrinkles. There is no invasive surgery, painful needle injections, inflammation, scars and no downtime for recovery. Patients should not be surprised to see results of up to 3 inches in circumference loss and up to 10 pounds of weight loss in just 6 weeks.

21)      

Liposuction/Liposculpture is not a procedure for loosing weight, but is used for remodeling the body, eliminating accumulations of fat. The fat does not weigh very much and after a considerable aspiration you only lose a few kilograms.

22)      

It is useless to go on an extenuating diet before having Liposuction, and then in the following months to put on weight. We recommend that our clients have the surgery when they think they have reached the weight they can maintain. In most cases, however, after Liposuction, a series of psychological mechanisms are set in motion which lead clients to be more careful about the way they eat and in taking care of their bodies, so that in the months after surgery, they often experience weight loss and an improvement in their physical condition. These conditions boost the effect of the modeling and firming up of the tissue of the superficial Liposculpture, giving a result which is often greater than expectations.

23)

Mesotherapy does not usually have any effect on cushions of fat. This type of treatment is none other than a way to convey thropic-effect medicines to fatty. It may also have some effect on lipodstrophy, but the therapy has to be followed with perseverance – it is never definitive. Generally, it is not recommended. For some reason, Mesotherapy changes the texture of the fat deposits making its removal through Liposuction a much harder task.

24)  

Local anesthetic is safe if the dosage is not excessive. When the area to aspirate is extensive, the high doses of local anesthetic required are toxic and may cause serious complications. In these cases, a general anesthetic (by inhalation) guarantees the best results, reducing risks to a minimum. In any case now the client can return home after the surgery.

25)      

The decision depends mainly on the number of areas to be operated on, the amount of fat to be removed from each single area, and on the weight of the client. The dose of anaesthetic varies according to each case. Most procedures (of a small or medium entity) can, nevertheless, be performed in a hospital under local anaesthetic with sedation. If the fat to be removed is over 2.5 liters, the advisability of operating under general anaesthetic will be considered.

26)      

The cosmetic surgeons in most clinics do not agree. With Liposuction/Liposculpture, it is not always possible to keep a client standing up: blood pressure tends to go down and they could faint. The surgeon must evaluate this. Furthermore, with advanced techniques like superficial Liposculpture, after the fat has been removed – and if you are still on your feet – the skin appears to be sagging. The result looks terrible and completely different from the final outcome of the modeling and compressive medication carried out by the surgeon.

27)      

Local anaesthetic with sedation involves the intravenous administration of drugs which diminish or nullify the discomfort related to surgery. It involves substances that are anxiolytic (for reducing tension), hypnotic (for making you sleepy), analgesic (for killing pain). Finally, some substances induce amnesia (you do not remember almost anything about the surgery). If the client so wishes, it is, nonetheless, possible not to have any sedation.

28)      

Lipoaspiration of the calves and ankles is possible and, if the conditions are right, you can achieve good results. If the volume of the calves is caused by muscles and tendons or bones, very little can be done. Water retention is not a contraindication but, after the procedure, it may continue and, therefore, affect the validity of the end result. In this region, post-operative swelling lasts much longer than in the other areas (6 months to a year). For this reason, it is advisable to have the surgery in the winter months and then have Lymphodrainage treatments.

29)        

Yes, the surgery can be performed in most cases with a good outcome, both aesthetically and physically. The type of surgery must, however, be analyzed during the course of the consultation.

30)      

It is advisable but not obligatory. Women who take the pill need to take a course of anticoagulant drugs (deriving from heparin), as preventive medicine, both before and after surgery.

31)         

The risks of Liposuction/Liposculpture in healthy people are those common to all surgical procedures (reactions to the anesthetic, infections, etc.), but complications are very rare. It is, however, necessary to operate with the proper precautions: suitable clinics, assistance with the anesthetic even in procedures performed under local anesthetic, and the use of a general anesthetic in more extensive Liposuctions (giving too much anesthetic risks being toxic). The swelling technique and the use of fine cannulas guarantee the best results with very little bleeding.

32)      

Yes, there is the risk that, where the fat has been removed, the excess skin will sag. However, for this reason, the Cosmetic Surgeon in many clinics prefers Superficial Liposculpture, which – apart from reducing the cushion of fat – increases the skin tone. Moreover, the surgeon has to take into account, at least generally, whether the skin will be elastic enough to adapt to its new condition. Many plastic surgeons prefer thick cannulas because they can remove the fat with less effort. However, many cases have demonstrated that better results are attained with fine cannulas. Additionally, using fine cannulas also assures for less bleeding.

33)         

Lymphodrainage (LPG) is a special massage which aids in the re-absorption of pre- and post-operative swelling, thereby speeding up recovery. It can also be performed – with a great many advantages – with the LPG-Endermologie method. It must be done by expert personnel who have taken special courses.

34)         

Lymphodrainage speeds up recovery and the swelling goes down much sooner. It is not indispensable, but it is, nonetheless, fundamental. Lymphatic Drainage is strongly recommended for all types of Liposuctions and Abdominoplasty procedures (tummy tuck); it makes a big difference.

35)         

The pain is usually bearable and can be alleviated with analgesics (pain killers). It is subjective and varies according to the individual and the extent of the surgery. You can start walking immediately and resume sporting activities after 3 weeks according to your case and the type of sport involved.

36)        

The time that should pass after a birth before undergoing Cosmetic Surgery varies and depends on both, the kind of surgery and the general condition of the client which may be different according to the case. With regard to Liposuction, the procedure can be performed after 3 months if you are not breast feeding.

37)        

Even though the surgery can be performed at any time during the year, it’s preferable the procedure is performed during the cold months because the client should not be exposed to the sun for at least a month post surgery. Also, when it is hot, it is uncomfortable to wear a compression garment. If these factors cause no problems, Liposuction/Liposculpture can also be performed during the summer.

38)      

Facial Liposuction removes fatty deposits from specific areas of the face such as the under chin, neck, and jowls. Facial Liposuction rids patients of these excess fat deposits that make them look and feel older. A safe procedure with dramatic results, Facial Liposuction has helped thousands of people look and feel younger and more attractive.

39)      

Facial Liposuction is most often performed with a micro-cannula using a Tumescent technique that involves injecting fluid into the targeted area while suctioning the fat out. In some cases, Liposuction of the chin, neck, and jowls, as well as other facial Liposuction procedures, can have better results in these problem areas than other surgical techniques. Facial Liposuction can also be more desirable because it minimizes scarring when compared to other surgical techniques. Facial Liposuction is usually performed on or below the chin and jaw line to reduce the appearance of sagging skin in the neck, a double-chin, or hanging jowls.

40)      

The best candidate for Facial Liposuction is someone who wishes to remove bothersome pockets of fat, but is within 30 percent of their ideal body weight. Age is not a major consideration in Facial Liposuction procedures, but those with more elastic qualities in their skin can expect to experience better results. For those who do not have elastic skin, other procedures such as a Face Lift can tighten the skin after fat has been removed using Liposuction techniques. The best way to determine if you are a candidate for chin, neck, jowl, or any other type of facial liposculture procedure is to speak with an experienced cosmetic surgeon.

Bariatric surgery is the removal of a portion of the stomach, the constriction of a portion of the stomach with a gastric band to reduce the size of the stomach or the rerouting a portion of the small intestine to limit absorption of food. Bariatric surgery is performed on extremely obese people who are unable to lose weight by exercising, dieting and controlling poor eating behaviors.

The goal of bariatric surgery is to reduce food intake and limit the number of calories absorbed through digestion. Because smaller quantities of food are eaten and the digestive process is affected, absorption of nutrients is also affected. Those who undergo bariatric surgery must change their eating habits in order to achieve a successful outcome. Patients must adhere to a controlled post-bariatric surgery diet that includes limiting the ingestion of particular kinds of foods and taking supplements for the rest of their lives to ensure that proper nutrition is achieved. Limiting carbohydrates and fats and increasing protein intake are recommended for successful, long-term results.

After surgery, reintroduction of foods by mouth occurs in several stages in order to facilitate healing and allow the stomach and intestines to function in their new capacities. The attending physician and consulting dieticians determine the post-bariatric surgery diet appropriate for each patient. Usually food is reintroduced in four stages over a period of approximately three months.

Phase one, normally implemented within two days after surgery, consists a diet of clear liquids such as clear broth, sugar-free gelatin, and unsweetened juice. The goal is to allow the surgical site to heal. Frequent intake of small quantities of liquids is recommended to prevent overloading the digestive system and prevent dehydration.

Phase two, the introduction of pureed foods and thicker liquids, may begin within a few days of surgery depending on how well clear liquids are tolerated. Purees can be made from a variety of foods including meats, dairy products, soft fruits, vegetables and beans combined with liquids such as yogurt, low-fat milk, water or unsweetened juice. The mixture should be ground well enough that no lumps or pieces are present. The number of weeks the patient remains on this diet is determined by the doctor; it may last from three to eight weeks.

protein shakes and liquid diet supplements are recommended as part of the post-bariatric surgery diet regimen to ensure proper nutrition. A liquid supplement should contain less than 15 to 20 grams of sugar and at least 15 grams of protein. Chewable multivitamins are usually advised at this stage. Other vitamin and mineral supplements such as calcium and folic acid may be added by the physician, depending on the type of bariatric surgery performed.

During phase three, soft foods are introduced after consultation with the physician and dietician. The number of weeks needed for this phase depends on how well the patient tolerates the newly introduced foods; it may last up to eight weeks. Appropriate foods include soft fruits, cooked vegetables, tofu and soft cheese and diced meats. Vitamins, minerals and low-sugar, high-protein supplements may be continued.

Phase four of the post-surgery bariatric diet is the slow reintroduction of solid foods. Solid foods will be introduced one at a time in order to ensure tolerance. Over a period of time, most of the foods eaten before surgery can be reintroduced. A smaller quantity of food eaten at more frequent intervals is recommended, avoiding highly sugared and fat foods. Vitamin and mineral supplements will be taken continuously.

Remember that at this point immediately following your surgery that your stomach is very small and still healing, meaning you can only take in very small portions.

Immediately following your surgery, you will need to only take in clear liquids. Most importantly, you need to remain extremely hydrated for healing purposes. All other liquids must be sugar and carbonation free. One way to determine whether or not you can drink a liquid is if you can see through it. If you can’t, it isn’t appropriate for you at this stage. Feel free to water down beverages to make them clearer.

]]>

After about a week, you can move on to other liquids that are not clear, including broth, soups, and liquid protein supplements. You will need to spend a total of approximately 9-12 weeks eating liquid and non-solid foods. This includes pureed foods.

During this early time in your post bariatric surgery diet, you will need to make sure to take special vitamins and other dietary supplements to provide the nutrition your body is not getting through regular food. It is also important to make protein a focus of your post bariatric surgery diet. Aim for around 50 to 70 milligrams per day depending on recommendation from your doctor. You can include protein in your meals through special shakes, soups, and pudding.

Whatever your meals consist of, make sure your meals are small. You might want to divide your intake into six small meals daily, to avoid overloading your stomach. Don’t forget to continue to drink water in between meals.

After your first three months are complete, you more than likely will be able to progress to eating regular foods again, providing you haven’t had any complications. Limit meals to three small ones per day with the addition of three small snacks. Continue to focus on healthy options like lean protein, fruits, and vegetables. Be sure your calorie intake does not exceed 1000-1200 per day so that you continue to lose weight. Stay away from sugary or fattening foods that won’t provide your healing body with the nutrients it needs. Following these tips and your post bariatric surgery diet will continue to yield positive results for your body.
