🥛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. ❤

⭐️⭐️Patient Success Spotlight: Logan!!⭐️⭐️

Six months ago, Logan made the decision to invest in herself and her future. Today, we're celebrating an incredible milestone - 40 pounds lost and a healthier, happier lifestyle.

After trying countless weight-loss methods without lasting success, Logan realized it was time for a different approach. Having a family member who had previously undergone bariatric surgery gave her confidence to explore the option, but ultimately, her decision came down to one thing: prioritizing her health.

From the very beginning of her journey with Dr. Antonetti, Logan felt supported and empowered. One of the things that stood out most to her was the personalized approach to care. Rather than focusing on a specific number on the scale, Dr. Antonetti asked, "What do you feel comfortable with? What is your goal?" That patient-centered mindset helped Logan feel heard every step of the way.

Today, Logan is proud of so much more than the number of the scale. She's gained confidence, improved health, and is accomplishing things that once felt out of reach - like using the stair stepper without excessive strain. More importantly, she's learned to put herself and her well-being first.

When asked what advice she'd give others considering bariatric surgery, Logan shared: "Be patient with yourself. Don't compare yourself to someone else."

Congratulations Logan on your hard work, determination, and incredible progress! Your story is an inspiration, and we're honored to be part of your journey!
