🏊Benefits of Pool Exercise After Surgery:

• Low-impact on joints – The water supports your body, reducing stress on knees, hips, and your back
• Gentle on healing bodies – Perfect for easing back into movement as your strength improves
• Boosts cardiovascular health – Get your heart rate up without high-impact exercise
• Builds strength & endurance – Water resistance helps tone muscles safely
• Improves balance & mobility – Great for regaining confidence in movement
• Supports weight loss & maintenance – Burns calories while being easier to stick with long-term
• Year-round access – No weather excuses with an indoor pool!

💡 Bonus: Swimming, water walking, and aqua aerobics are all bariatric-friendly and can be adjusted to your comfort level.

🔥 Meal Prep Tip: Batch Cook Your Proteins! 🔥

One of the easiest ways to stay on track after bariatric surgery is to batch cook your proteins. 🥩🍗🍳

You don’t have to prep full meals if you don’t like eating the same thing every day. Instead, cook a few proteins in advance—like chicken, ground turkey, eggs, salmon, or tofu—and mix and match them into different meals throughout the week.

🍗 Batch Cook Once → Eat 4 Different Ways
Protein Prepped: Grilled/Baked Chicken Breast (3–4 oz portions)

Meal 1 – Wrap
🌯 Whole grain low-carb wrap + chicken + lettuce + Greek yogurt ranch + diced tomato

Meal 2 – Salad Bowl
🥗 Mixed greens + chicken + edamame + cucumbers + balsamic vinaigrette

Meal 3 – Stir-Fry
🍜 Chicken + broccoli + bell peppers + cauliflower rice + low-sodium soy sauce

Meal 4 – Protein Snack Box
🍱 Chicken bites + string cheese + cucumber slices + sliced strawberries

✨ Building Self-Confidence After Bariatric Surgery ✨

Bariatric surgery can change your body quickly—but your mind may take longer to adjust.

According to bariatric and mental health experts, body dysmorphia after weight loss surgery can occur when someone continues to see themselves at a higher weight or focuses intensely on perceived flaws, even after significant physical changes. Rapid weight loss, loose skin, and years of seeing yourself one way can make it hard for the brain to “update” what the mirror reflects.

This experience is common and valid—and it does not mean you’re ungrateful, failing, or doing something wrong.

What body dysmorphia may look like after surgery:
• Difficulty recognizing weight loss or health improvements
• Fixating on loose skin or specific body areas
• Feeling disconnected from your changing body
• Avoiding mirrors, photos, or social situations

Ways experts recommend navigating body dysmorphia after surgery:
💛 Shift focus to non-scale victories (energy, strength, labs, mobility)
💛 Practice neutral or compassionate self-talk instead of criticism
💛 Understand that mental adjustment often lags behind physical change
💛 Seek support—body image healing doesn’t have to be done alone
👉 Support available at Life Without Limits:

• Monthly Support Group with Letizia – connect with others who understand the bariatric journey firsthand
• Ongoing guidance from your bariatric care team, because mental health is part of long-term success

Building confidence after bariatric surgery isn’t about loving your body every day—it’s about learning to respect it, trust it, and support it as it heals. 💛

You are not alone in this journey.

💪 Heart-Healthy Proteins After Bariatric Surgery ❤️

After weight loss surgery, protein always comes first—but choosing the right types of protein can also keep your heart strong and healthy. 🫀

✅ Try These Heart-Healthy Protein Picks:
🐟 Fish (like salmon, tuna, or trout) – packed with omega-3s.
🦃 Skinless poultry – lean, low-fat option.
🥚 Eggs & egg whites – versatile and easy to prep.
🥜 Plant-based proteins (beans, lentils, tofu, edamame) – great for fiber + protein.
🧑‍🍳 Low-fat dairy (Greek yogurt, cottage cheese) – calcium + protein combo.

💡 Tip: Avoid fried, breaded, or fatty cuts of meat—opt for baked, grilled, or air-fried instead!
