🥜Protein After Bariatric Surgery: It's More than Just Shakes🥜

Protein plays an important role in your bariatric journey. After surgery, meeting your daily protein goals helps support healing, maintain muscle mass, improve strength, and promote long-term wellness.

While protein shakes can be a convenient option - especially when you are on the go- they are only on part of a balanced approach. Building a variety of protein sources into your routine can help keep meals interesting and provide the nutrients your body needs.

Great protein options may include:
✅ Lean meats and poultry
✅ Fish and seafood
✅ Eggs
✅ Greek yogurt or cottage cheese
✅ Beans and legumes (as appropriate for your nutritional plan)
✅ Low fat cheeses

Remember: consistency matters. Planning ahead and having protein-rich options available can make it easier to meet your goals throughout the day.

At Lexington Health Weight Loss & Wellness, our bariatric dietitians are here to help create a personalized, nutritional plan, explore protein options, and provide guidance throughout your weight loss journey.

Your success is built one healthy choice at a time. ♥

🥛Choosing the Right Protein Shake After Bariatric Surgery🥛

Protein shakes can be a valuable tool after bariatric surgery, especially during the early stages of recovery and on busy days when meeting your protein goals is more challenging. Not all protein shakes are created equal, so reading the nutrition label is key!!

When selecting a protein shake, look for these general guidelines:
✅less than 200 calories
✅15 to 30 grams of protein
✅Less than 9 grams of carbohydrates
✅Less than 5 grams of total and added sugar

Choosing a sake that is high in protein and low in sugar can help support healing, preserve lean muscle, and keep you feeling satisfied while working toward your daily nutritional goals.

At Lexington Health Weight Loss & Wellness, our bariatric dietitians are here to help you meet your daily protein goals and make nutrition simple. As part of our comprehensive bariatric program, you'll partner with a registered dietitian who provides personalized guidance on protein, meal planning, hydration, and healthy eating habits to support you and your long-term weight loss and wellness goals.

⭐⭐Patient Success Spotlight: Meet Christy⭐⭐

More than 4 years after bariatric surgery, Christy has maintained an incredible 101-pound weight loss and continues to enjoy the benefits of a healthier lifestyle.

For years, Christy experienced constant weight fluctuations and despite her efforts, nothing led to lasting success. Although she was often described as "healthy," her BMI placed her in the obese category, and she knew she wanted a long-term solution. That's when she partnered with Dr. Hughes and his team.

Christy says one of the things she appreciates most is the lifelong support she has received. From learning health portion sized with visual tools to gaining practical strategies for eating out and meal planning, she feels equipped to make sustainable choices every day.

She also values the efficiency and compassionate care she experiences at every visit. Looking back, Christy says "I wish I had done this 15 years agon."

Her message to others is powerful: Bariatric surgery isn't only for those with extreme obesity. Don't wait until your health is compromised. Take the initiative to improve your health and quality of life now.

Congratulations Christy, on your continued success! Thank you for allowing us to be part of your journey and for inspiring other to invest in their health.

🥳🥳Patient Success Spotlight: Meet Amber🥳🥳

After living with Cushing's Disease, a large hernia, and declining quality of life, Amber chose to partner with Dr. Antonetti to explore bariatric surgery. Together, they discussed how weight loss could improve her health and make it possible to address some of the medical challenges she was facing. For Amber, bariatric surgery allowed her to gain control over her life and be more available for her family.

Just 4 months after her surgery, Amber has lost 65 pounds and is enjoying meaningful victories beyond the scale. One of Amber's favorite non-scale victories was fitting comfortably into a restaurant booth she had previously avoided. "It felt wonderful to just live my life like I used to."

Amber also appreciated the compassionate care she received throughout her journey. "It always felt like I was being taken seriously, which is not always the case when I go to a doctor." The team always answered my questions on Mychart with kindness and helpful answers. She appreciated staying in touch with her care team to get the answers she needed while continuing to live her life.

Amber's story is a reminder that bariatric surgery is about more than weight loss- it's about improving health, restoring confidence, and making it possible to enjoy everyday moments again.

Congratulations, Amber! We are honored to be part of your journey and can't wait to see all that you accomplish next. ❤
