Incorporating regular physical activity after bariatric surgery or ESG is key to lasting results.

Exercise not only helps you maintain weight loss, it also improves metabolism, enhances mood, and supports heart and joint health.

Gentle movement at first, such as walking or stretching, can be gradually increased as your strength grows.

Following a plan from your care team ensures you stay safe while building healthy habits for life.

If your weight loss has stalled, you’re not alone. Plateaus are a natural part of any weight loss journey, including after bariatric surgery. Your body may be adapting to changes in nutrition, exercise, or overall metabolism, which can temporarily slow your progress.

Understanding why plateaus happen and working closely with your bariatric care team can help you overcome them. Small adjustments in diet, activity, and lifestyle can reignite progress.

Remember, weight loss isn’t always linear, but every positive choice you make contributes to your long-term health and success.
