Hydration is healing.

After bariatric surgery, staying hydrated helps with:
✅ Energy and focus
✅ Digestion and regularity
✅ Skin and wound healing
✅ Preventing kidney stones and dizziness

💧 Aim for 64 oz a day — slow sips, all day long.

Try:
- Water with lemon or cucumber
- Herbal tea (unsweetened)
- Electrolyte waters (no sugar)
- Broth

🚫 Avoid:
- Sugary drinks
- Carbonation

Hydration isn’t just a habit — it’s part of your recovery.

“He treats you like a person — not just a patient.” A story of real care from Tucson Bariatric. 💙

04/30/2026

Dr. Jeff Monash was honored as a Tucson Hero at the quarterly Hero Breakfast, a community event recognizing individuals who exemplify service, courage, and compassion.

Dr. Monash, founder of Tucson Bariatric and the Wound Center of Tucson was the event’s first-ever medical honoree. He was recognized alongside heroes from three branches of the U.S. military and Andy Cathey, brother of co-founder Matthew Crandell.

Adding a deeply personal note to the event, Gordy Siewert, a patient of Dr. Monash, was welcomed as the featured community speaker. Gordy’s words about strength, healing, and gratitude moved the room, underscoring the profound bonds that can form between patients and their physicians.

Happy National Exercise Day! 🏃‍♀️ Movement looks different for everyone, and that is perfectly okay. Whether you are a few months post-op or a few years out, exercise is one of the most powerful tools you have to maintain your results and protect your health long term.
Start small. A walk around the block counts. Taking the stairs counts. Moving your body in any way counts.

Veggie Swaps = Big Wins

Ditch the carbs without ditching flavor. My favorite swaps:
Wraps → Romaine, cabbage, or collard greens
Rice → Riced cauliflower or parsnips
Pasta → Zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash
Chips → Sweet mini peppers
Pizza crust → Cauliflower, meat-za, or veggie boats (bell peppers, zucchini, eggplant)

These simple swaps can help you stay full, energized, and on track—especially after bariatric surgery.
