Time Management after Bariatric Surgery
Your bariatric surgeon has likely already laid out the details of your post-bariatric diet plan, and you might already have the specifics worked out as to when and where you will be exercising.

How many times have you already used the word busy today? If you are like most American adults, the four-letter word may have already trailed off your lips in a number of contexts. You’ve got a busy day today. You can’t cook a healthy breakfast; you’re too busy, there’s too much to do. A mid-morning walk will have to wait; you are far too busy for that today. Learn More

Sleep Soundly after Weight Loss Surgery
Diet & exercise—together, the two have become synonymous with weight loss, but you may want to add one more thing to that conjunction after weight loss surgery: sleep.
