After gastric sleeve surgery, there are some things you may need to avoid or limit to ensure your safety and promote healing. Here are some things you should never do after gastric sleeve surgery:
1. Overeat: After gastric sleeve surgery, your stomach size is significantly reduced, so it's important to avoid overeating to prevent discomfort, vomiting, or other complications.
2. Drink carbonated beverages: Carbonated beverages can cause discomfort and bloating after surgery, so it's best to avoid them.
3. Eat high-fat or high-sugar foods: These foods can slow down your weight loss progress and may cause discomfort or digestive issues.
4. Smoke or use tobacco products: Smoking can slow down the healing process and increase the risk of complications after surgery.
5. Lift heavy objects or engage in strenuous activity: It's important to avoid heavy lifting or strenuous physical activity for several weeks after surgery to allow your body to heal.
6. Drink alcohol: Drinking alcohol can increase the risk of dehydration and may interact with medications you're taking after surgery.
It's important to follow your healthcare provider's instructions regarding post-surgery care, diet, and activity levels to ensure a safe and successful recovery after gastric sleeve surgery.
