Questions & Answers on "Obesity Or Bariatric Surgery" (46)

I don't gaining weight ( really tired of myself) and I'm a footballer too...

Male | 20

If you feel tired and don’t see any increase on the scale, it could be that you’re not eating enough to fuel your body. You should eat more calories than the average person because of how much running around you do on the field. Make sure to have a lot of carbs, protein, and healthy fats in each meal so you get all the nutrients necessary for good performance. Consider creating a menu with a nutritionist that supports your energy needs.

Side effects of bariartic surgery

Female | 47

Bariatric surgery can have both positive effects on health and potential side effects. The specific side effects can vary depending on the type of bariatric surgery performed, but here are some common ones:


Surgical risks: It includes infection, bleeding, blood clots, and adverse reactions to anesthesia.

Nutritional deficiencies:It impacts nutrient absorption and lead to deficiencies of iron, vitamin B12, calcium, and vitamin D. These deficiencies may require lifelong supplementation and close monitoring.

Dumping syndrome: Can occur after gastric bypass surgery, where food moves too quickly from the stomach to the small intestine. You may experience nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, and rapid heart rate after meals.

Gallstones: Rapid weight loss after bariatric surgery can increase the risk of developing gallstones. 

Changes in bowel habits: Some individuals may experience changes in bowel movements like diarrhea or constipation, after bariatric surgery.

Hair loss: Temporary hair loss or thinning may occur due to nutritional deficiencies or rapid weight loss. This is usually temporary and can be managed with proper nutrition.

Psychological and emotional changes: Bariatric surgery can have a significant impact on body image, self-esteem, and emotional well-being. Some may experience depression, anxiety, or body image issues post-surgery.

I need to lose weight without exercise what do I do....I don't like the fact that it looks like I'm addicted to food and to over eating and to unhealthy stuffs and it's like I can't stop....

Female | 20

Trying to lose we­ight sans exercise fe­els tricky. An unhealthy attachment to food, mainly the­ not-so-good options, grows common. Excessive intake cause­s weight gain. Feeling unable­ to control your eating qualifies as a symptom of overe­ating. Root causes could stem from emotional e­ating habits, boredom, or stressful situations. To improve, practice­ mindful eating, monitor portion sizes, and swap in healthie­r edible choices.

Which vitamin is best for gaining weight

Male | 18

Gaining weight can be supported by maintaining adequate vitamin D levels. If your body is low in vitamin D, it may struggle to gain weight. Signs of deficiency include tiredness and frequent illness. To boost your vitamin D, consume fatty fish, and fortified cereals, and get daily sunlight exposure. Keeping your vitamin D levels up is essential for healthy weight gain.

Having too much salt, not being active enough, and having a health condition are among the many things that can cause these symptoms. To solve this problem, you should eat foods with less salt content, move around more often, and drink a lot of water. If the swelling persists then it is necessary to see a doctor immediately.

How to lose weight without being too skinny ?

Female | 18

Healthy we­ight loss involves burning fat, not muscle. Our bodies re­quire some fat rese­rves for energy and warmth. Exce­ssive thinness can cause fatigue­, frailty, and illness susceptibility. To slim down properly, consume­ balanced meals with fruits, veggie­s, whole grains, and lean proteins. Incorporate­ regular physical activities like walking, cycling, or swimming. Avoid fad die­ts or skipping meals completely. Gradual and ste­ady weight reduction is crucial. Stay hydrated by drinking ample­ water, and get sufficient sle­ep while losing weight he­althily.
