Answer
The surgery itself does not cause weight gain, but the factors surrounding recovery can. To avoid weight gain, it's important to be proactive. Hormonal changes (only if your ovaries are removed) and a temporary decrease in physical activity are the main contributors. Our advice at SCI Hospital is to focus on a balanced diet rich in lean protein to help with healing, lots of fiber from fruits and vegetables, and whole grains.
Stay very well-hydrated with water. As soon as your doctor approves, begin gentle exercise like walking. Starting with short, frequent walks can boost your metabolism and mood without straining your body. This mindful approach to diet and gentle activity is the key to preventing weight gain.
