🧃Green powders are everywhere right now, and we get asked about them constantly. “Are these okay after bariatric surgery?” The truth? Not all green drinks are created equal.

Many are loaded with natural or artificial sweeteners to make them taste better, but that can backfire. For bariatric patients, managing cravings is crucial, and excess sweeteners can trigger those cravings, making weight maintenance harder. If you love the idea of a green powder, look for options that are low in sugar, free from artificial additives, and designed with real nutrition in mind.

We break it all down—what to look for, what to avoid, and whether these drinks are actually worth it for bariatric patients—in our latest blog.

🏥 The answer depends on a few key factors:

1️⃣ The type of bariatric procedure you have – Some procedures, like the gastric sleeve, often allow for a same-day discharge or an overnight stay. Others may require a 1-2 day hospital stay to monitor recovery.

2️⃣ Your recovery progress – Every patient is different. While some may be ready to go home within a day, others may need a little extra time to ensure they’re healing well, tolerating liquids, and managing post-operative discomfort.

3️⃣ Your overall health and medical history – Patients with pre-existing conditions or a history of complications may need a longer hospital stay for close monitoring and extra care.

At our practice, we prioritize safety and a smooth recovery! No one wants to spend more time in the hospital than necessary, but we also want to make sure you’re fully prepared before you’re discharged. Our team will be with you every step of the way to ensure you’re on the best path forward.

Both robotic and laparoscopic surgeries are minimally invasive, but they use different instruments:

🤖 Robotic surgery: Instruments have full wrist motion, mimicking a surgeon’s hands for greater precision
🔧 Laparoscopic surgery: Uses straight, tong-like instruments that only open and close
