Can Nutritional Deficiencies Lead to Weight Regain?

Can Nutritional Deficiencies Lead to Weight Regain?

YES!

Weight Regain is common, and a frustrating reality for many weight loss surgery patients.

Causes of weight regain are not always straight forward. There are a variety of factors that can get in the way of forward progress.

However, there is one important factor that is often overlooked, malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies.

Fatigue, muscle weakness, depression, frequent illness, and memory loss could be signs of protein malnutrition or micronutrient deficiencies. They could ALSO be the reasons that you want to eat more.

When you don’t feel great, your hunger level may increase, particularly cravings for sweets. Feeling tired and down can also lead to being less active generally and avoidance of exercise.

You can prevent nutritional deficiencies and help avoid unwanted weight regain by doing these 3 things:

  1. Take a high quality Bariatric Specific Multi-Vitamin, like Opurity® Vitamins every day.
  2. Meet your daily protein goals with high-quality protein like UNJURY® Protein.
  3. Be sure that your medical team is doing lab work that is recommended for bariatric patients by ASMBS.
