  Obesity is a serious disease which brings multiple negative outcomes with it. Beside the physical damages, hypertension, lubrication of the liver, breathing difficulty and more, it brings some of the psychological disorders such as Binge eating and Anorexia. According to the World Health Organization data in 2016, more than 1.9 billion adults aged 18 years and older were overweight. Of these over 650 million adults were obese. Gastric sleeve surgery, which is also referred as Sleeve gastrectomy, is one of the primary methods that is preferred among the weight loss operations and treatments. Gastric sleeve surgery can be briefly explained as removing a big part of the stomach in order to feel full after eating less than usual amount of the repast.

  The period after the stomach sleeve operation is important for you to have a better health condition and reduce the risk of the other problems that are caused by obesity. After the gastric plication, you should follow the instructions such as the dietary guideline and body movement requirements that are given by the doctor



  Even if you do not feel hungry, you should have 3 meals in a day. Between the meals, you can have healthy snacks. In your meals and snacks, you should not consume carbonated beverages because they can flex your stomach, because it reduces the effect of your bariatric surgery. You should drink water and other liquids at least 2 litres in a day. Consuming water prevents constipation, which is expected after the gastric sleeve, and helps to reduce the feeling of hunger.
