Answered on 29th July '24
After getting gastric sleeve surgery, you need to watch what you consume. Two days post-op, avoid high-calorie drinks like Slim Fast. Your stomach requires healing time. Stick to water or clear broth initially. Slim Fast could irritate and cause discomfort. Follow your doctor's advice for optimal recovery.

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.

I am seeking to get relief from bloating and obesity
Male | 31
Bloating occurs when your stomach feels full, swollen. It's caused by fast eating, carbonated beverages, or certain foods. Obesity means excess body fat. Causes: excessive fatty food intake, insufficient physical activity. Prevent bloating: eat slower, avoid fizzy drinks, consume more fruits, vegetables. Combat obesity: increase exercise, choose healthier options like fruits, veggies, lean proteins. Small lifestyle modifications can significantly impact.

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.

Female | 25
It's worrying that you have been gaining weight even though you don't have a big diet. This might be caused by different kinds of reasons such as hormonal problems (especially thyroid) or metabolic issues. It is great that you have done workouts, however, if it causes you pain, don't overdo it. Starting with basic exercises like walking or swimming is a good option. A balanced diet including more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can also act as a medicine. If the weight gain continues, see a dietitian for a safe and healthy evaluation and guidance.

How can I loose weight quickly if slimming world and weight watchers are not helping and I struggle to loose weight on my own
Female | 21
Losing weight can be tough, but don't worry, there are other ways to help. Until quick weight loss, you could continue healthy nutrition and maintain physical activity. Additionally, the reasons for being overweight are not only overeating but also health problems such as an impaired metabolic system. On the other hand, if the weights are not reducing, this might be because of the lack of certain medical conditions like delayed metabolism or many different hormonal imbalances. If you are unable to lose weight, visit a bariatric surgeon to find out which issues are hidden.

I gained weight in last few months and I also have swelling on my body .
Female | 21
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.

It's natural to feel concerned about your weight, but remember that everyone's body is unique. It's important to focus on your health rather than comparing yourself to others. Visit a nutritionist or a dietitian who can guide you on a healthy diet and lifestyle.

I am a 21-year-old female in Pune. I have hypothyroidism, PCOD, and high blood insulin. I have been trying to lose weight for about 6 to 7 years now. I have tried cycling, working out, dieting, power yoga, walking, and badminton but nothing seems to help or work on my body. I am considering liposuction, what should I do?
Female | 21
Liposuction is not the best option for treating hypothyroidism, PCOD, and high blood insulin. These comorbidities can act as a roadblock to weight loss, and a comprehensive treatment program including lifestyle modifications, nutritional changes, and medication may be best. Seek advice from an endocrinologist, gynecologist, and nutritionist to come up with a comprehensive plan that addresses your personal health needs.
