Why does constipation happen, let's find out the reasons 👀
Constipation after bariatric surgery, especially after sleeve gastrectomy, is a problem we see among our patients, but it is not an unsolvable problem.
Decreased food intake due to shrinking stomach capacity, especially DECREASING FIBER
Not consuming enough WATER
Low PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
Side effects of drugs and supplements used; IRON supplement, which we use especially in the first month, is among the reasons that trigger constipation.
We definitely need to increase our fiber intake, it is very important in this process that we eat the fruits that we can consume with their skins, especially by blender and eating spoons during the day, just like feeding a baby 👶
Water consumption must be at least 1.5 liters 💧
Exercising regularly increases weight loss, prevents sagging and is very important for bowel movement 👉🏻 The World Health Organization (WHO) also recommends moderate physical activity for at least 150 minutes a week for adults.
If we have problems, we have solutions 🙋♀️
We are progressing on this path together with our patients by overcoming all of them…
