You want to eat your lean protein first and then your vegetables. You should eat your complex carbohydrates last and make sure to portion it out to 1/3 of a cup. Remember: You do not need to finish your plate if you are satisfied! This strategy helps protect muscle mass while supporting weight maintenance.

Bariatric surgery helps you lose weight — and improve health — in two key ways:
1️⃣ Anatomical Change
Reduces stomach size → helps you feel full faster
Limits calorie intake
2️⃣ Hormonal & Metabolic Change
Decreases hunger hormones (like ghrelin)
Improves insulin sensitivity
Resets your body’s “set point” for weight
✨ The result: lasting weight loss, better energy, and improved control of conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure.

Bariatric surgery remains the most effective treatment for long-term weight loss — but new evidence shows that adding GLP-1 medications can enhance results. 💉✨A Stanford Health Care study (2019–2023) found that combining surgery with GLP-1s offers a synergistic advantage, particularly around the perioperative period. At the Center for Weight Loss at Newton-Wellesley Hospital, we integrate GLP-1 therapy as part of a personalized, multimodal approach to obesity care.

Bariatric surgery isn’t just about losing weight, it’s also about keeping you healthy. This includes improving, if not resolving, obesity-related comorbidities like type II diabetes. 🍽️ A quick post-meal walk can blunt the spike in blood sugar after eating. Timing matters—getting even light activity after meals offers measurable benefits.

Here’s where bariatric surgery and your lifestyle habits intersect 👇
➡️ Surgery gives you an initial metabolic reset: improved insulin sensitivity, hormonal changes, and less metabolic stress.
➡️ But to keep that momentum going, you need to stack the habits: strength training, protein intake, movement, consistent nutrition.
Think of surgery as a metabolic accelerator — your habits are the fuel that keeps the engine running.
