Bariatric Surgery Rehabilitation

Personalised Programmes

Each person's journey is unique. We assess your needs and tailor a programme that respects your goals, challenges, and lifestyle.

Nutritional and Lifestyle Support:

We partner with nutritionists to provide education on meal planning, portion control, and the importance of nutrients to complement your rehab journey.

Safe Exercise Techniques:

Exercise is an integral part of recovery. Our physiotherapists specialise in designing low-impact, progressive routines to build strength, enhance flexibility, and improve cardiovascular health.

1. Balanced Nutrition for Healing

• Take Small, Frequent Meals and Stay Hydrated: Eat smaller portions more frequently to help manage hunger and support steady energy levels throughout the day.
• Hydration: Drink at least 6 - 8 cups of water daily. Avoid drinking with meals to prevent feeling too full or bloated.

2. Stay Active in Daily Life

• Move Often: Incorporate light movement like walking around the house every hour, especially if sitting for extended periods. Use household chores as exercise.

3. Mindful Eating Habits

• Eat Slowly: Take your time to chew thoroughly. This can help with digestion and prevent overeating.

4. Set Realistic Goals

• Focus on Progress, Celebrate Small Wins: Recognise and celebrate small milestones in your recovery journey, like increasing stamina or improving your diet.

5. Attend Follow-Up Appointments

• Regular Check-Ins: Follow your healthcare provider's recommended schedule for check-ups to monitor your progress and adjust your recovery plan as needed.
