How much weight can I lose after Gastric Sleeve Surgery?

Clinical trials show that Gastric Sleeve Surgery induces effective weight loss by limiting the amount of food you can consume by decreasing the volume of your stomach. While the results differ according to the lifestyle choices, ie., regular exercise, and a healthy diet, it should be noted that the best results where patients lose up to 60% – 70% of their excess weight are obtained when patients follow the surgeon’s recommendations within a year. Accordingly, we could say that if you follow dietary guidelines, and exercise plans, you are expected to lose 0.9 – 1.8kg weekly for about six to twelve months.

What is the post-op diet after Gastric Sleeve Surgery? Bariatric Surgery Turkey

It should be kept in mind that, like any of bariatric surgery procedures, Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery necessitates drastic changes in the dietary habits, which concern the amounts of food you eat, or whether you consume healthy food as a part of your balanced diet to achieve your ideal weight.

Yet, if we briefly explain what the post-op diet after the gastric sleeve surgery is like, we could list it as below: For the first week after surgery, you will follow a liquid diet to avoid post-operative complications, such as constipation, dehydration, or bowel obstruction. For the second week after the surgery, you can begin to consume full-liquids such as unsweetened milk, or sugar-free nutrition shakes. You will be able to add pureed foods to your diet during the third week after the surgery, and finally, during the fourth week after the procedure, you will be able to add solid foods to your diet, such as well-cooked vegetables or chicken and fish. It is crucial for a gastric sleeve patient to consume healthy meals once they begin to eat regular food, so that they don’t experience any vitamin deficiencies or inadequate weight loss due to wrong food choices.
