✨Motivation Monday✨

One (or a few) mis-action will not impact our progress towards reaching our health goals. Life happens. But the important mindset is to get back on track.

Rather than spending energy on stressing about what you didn’t do today, think about what kind of effort you can put in to move you back in the forward direction.

Even if life isn’t going go great for you right now, it is a part of the progress.

Don’t give up.

Each day, aim for a new small goal. Focus on what you can control.
You only fail when you stop putting in effort and stop focusing on your health.

5lbs of muscle vs 5lbs of body fat are not the same!

Excess body fat (especially around your waist) can increase your risk for diabetes and heart disease. It may even be a sign of fatty liver disease.

The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn throughout the day! Muscle also provides strength and balance so we don’t fall over and break a leg!

As the scale goes down during weight loss, you could also be losing precious muscle!!

The best ways to keep your muscles are:
1. Eat protein! 80-100g protein daily (eat ~20-30 grams per meal)
2. Lift weights, at least 2 days a week.
Lifting weights will not make you look bulky. Gaining body fat will make you look bulky!

BMI (body mass index) does not show how much muscle or how much body fat you have. The best way to find out is to get a BODY COMPOSITION analysis.

Our TLC office has a special InBody scale that can measure that!! Call our office to find out how to schedule a weigh-in: 713-493-7700

The 1st 2 weeks after surgery is an important time after surgery to make sure you are taking care of your body properly. Scroll through these slides - you should be doing these during these 1st 2 weeks.

1. Dehydration is a main reason for getting re-admitted back to the hospital. Sip all day! Try different temperatures, flavors, brands of water. Drink low sugar sports drinks and broth to provide extra electrolytes.

2. Start taking your Bariatric multivitamin. If the Ultra Solo capsule is causing nausea, switch to the chewable versions. Check your nutrition packet to determine which vitamins you should be taking.

3. Walking is the best solution for gas and bloating. You are cleared to go for a walk outside or on a treadmill. Check with your practitioner when you are cleared to engage is more rigorous types of exercise.

4. Add protein into your diet! Protein is important for would healing and prevention of muscle loss. Try greek yogurts, add protein powders into your soup, switch to plant based protein shakes if whey protein shakes are bothering your stomach.

5. Download the calendar from your nutrition packet so you know which diet phase to be on. Day 3 through 14 is the full liquid diet: protein shakes, thick soups (blended smooth soups), yogurt, sugar free pudding.

6. Constipation is common after surgery. Increase your water, add fiber powders, and use laxatives/stool softeners as needed. Moving your body also helps!

7. Don’t forget to see your practitioner at 2 weeks after surgery! If you don’t have an appointment, call our office to schedule! This can be in-person or virtual!

8. Don’t forget to attend your First Bite class. This will answer questions you may have about diet, but we will also talk about strategies to help you lose more weight! If you don’t have an appointment, call our office to schedule. This class is free, live and virtual!

Dumping Syndrome is a common side effect after bariatric surgery. It can happen with the sleeve, bypass and duodenal switch.

Why does this happen?
Due to having a very small stomach pouch and modified digestive tract, you are more sensitive to high fat and high sugar foods, especially if the foods are processed/junk food.

Early dumping:
This is more likely to happen with quick to digest high fat/high sugar mushy foods and liquids: ice cream, buttery mashed potatoes, syrups, pudding, heavy cream soups, juices, smoothies, alcohol, sugary drinks, candy.

Late dumping:
This is more likely to happen with heavier high fat/sugar solid foods: cheeseburger and fries, fried chicken/fish, cake, cookies.

Tips to avoid dumping:
- Wait 30 min after meals to drink
- Focus on eating lean protein and fiber (beans, non-starchy veggies)
- Avoid eating carbohydrates alone, including fruit!
- Avoid fried foods
- Avoid creamy/buttery foods
- Avoid drinking sugary beverages

If dumping syndrome occurs, lie down and rest.
If symptoms do not resolve in 1 hour, try eating a high protein snack: string cheese, turkey slices, hard boiled eggs.

✨Monday Motivation ✨

Despite continued demand for dietary supplements and weight loss pills (both over the counter and prescription), along with medications to treat metabolic diseases (high cholesterol, high blood pressure, high blood sugars), health complications continue to rise.

If you are taking any type of pill (over the counter or prescription), ask yourself if you are also doing your part to improve your health through changing your food choices, adding more physical activity and being mindful of your food and lifestyle habits. Or…are you just depending on the pill to fix it all?

After bariatric surgery, changes in your digestive tract can lead to uncomfortable and unpleasant burping, farting and bloating.

Here’s why they may happen and what you can do about.

While generally harmless and mainly just annoying, if these symptoms get worse and painful, you need to consult with your surgeon.

GLP-1 medications (Wegovy/Ozenpic, Zepbound/Moujaro) can help lower blood sugars, and they can also help with weight loss by reducing cravings, increasing fullness feeling by slowing down digestion.

Keep M.E.A.L. in mind to help you gain the most benefits from your medications.

Need some motivation and inspiration?? Check out and her courageous story, and recent surgery recovery.

Julie had her sleeve with Dr. Scarborough over a decade ago. And she’s experienced amazing transformations. Um, hello Iron Woman!

Unfortunately, she was developing acid reflux and it was not getting any better. She decided to move forward with getting a revision to the gastric bypass.

If you have worsening GERD (heartburn, acid reflux), schedule a consultation with our bariatric surgeons. Let’s see how we can help you to feeling better! Taking antacids is not a long term solution.
