Preparing For Weight Loss Surgery

By Rey Vetangelo


Many Americans today wish that they could lose weight. They report high body dissatisfaction and a feeling that they are not desirable or beautiful. This is a tragedy indeed. While many of these individuals would probably do well to lose weight, there is a significant amount of individuals who want to lose an unhealthy amount of weight.

They do not accept their bodies no matter what size they are. A woman might have her doctor perform a complicated weight loss surgery because she does not want to take the time and put in the effort that is required to lose weight the healthy way.

Bodily efficiency influences how fast you digest foods as well as how well you burn fats. Each mineral and vitamin is provided by a different natural element, e.g. meats, dairy, plants, vegetables, carbohydrates, and even sugar. Your body works best when these minerals and vitamins are balanced. The key to balancing your mineral and vitamin intake is to carefully plan what you eat.

A good tool to follow is the food pyramid, which suggests you intake 6-11 servings of carbohydrates, 3-5 servings of vegetables, 2-4 servings of fruits, 2-3 servings each of dairy and meats, and sparingly intake fats, oils and sweets. Many of the diet programs will champion varying amounts of each food group as well.

One of the first things you should do on your weight loss journey is try to figure out what weight loss pitfalls you normally encounter. For example, perhaps you find it difficult to pass up donuts or cookies at a party.

The initial step in preparing for a weight loss surgery is to contact one's insurance company to see if they will cover the cost of the surgery or to what extent they will supplement the procedure. Some insurance companies will cover the cost while others will not, and so the person undergoing the procedure will need to learn to what extent they are covered by their insurance.

If you find that that is true for you, then you will want to find other avenues to de-stress rather than gorging yourself on unhealthy foods. There are many different hobbies you can have that you can do rather than eat excessive food. A common problem in our society today is the fact that many people want to ban certain foods from their lives. For example, many people think they shouldn't eat any sweets. This means no donuts, no cake, no cookies, nothing that is sweet. These are forbidden foods; if they're going to be skinny, they can't eat those foods ever.

What happens next is the person slips up and has one of the forbidden foods. Many times, that person will think all hope is lost and that they have failed at their diet.

Conscious exercise is living a life looking for excuses to move, not excuses to rest. That kind of exercise helps you increase your metabolism and burn away the excess pounds. These are the three secrets to the success of any diet plan. In a majority of cases, the reason a plan involving these three elements doesn't work is because the dieter isn't willing to follow the diet to the "t."
