Dr. Mario Almanza educates all of his patients who come to his facility located in Tijuana to have a weight loss surgical procedure that bariatric surgery is only a stepping-stone to help them successfully lose weight. He stresses that developing new eating habits and beginning an exercise regime after surgery are crucially important for obtaining a desired long-term outcome. Some tips that Dr. Mario Almanza regularly shares with his patients include the following.
Drink more water and drink it regularly throughout the day. In fact, consider water to be your new best friend. Make water your new best friend. An excellent way to make sure you consume the desired amount of water each day is to buy a 64-ounce re-usable water bottle and carry it with you everywhere you go. Ensure that you finish your water bottle every day. However, remember not to drink water (or other beverages) when eating a meal.
Minimize your visits to restaurants. However, if you are unable to eat a meal at home, make a plan for what you will eat if you must go out. Remember to ask for a half portion of what you order so you will be less likely to overeat.
