1. Stabilize the Blood Sugar Level
Stable blood sugar level keeps the hunger stable. It is, therefore, important to keep a check on your blood sugar level. Avoid food rich in simple carbohydrates such as white bread, potatoes, corn, white rice, and anything that is replete with sugar, such as muffins, donuts, candy, brownies, and ice-cream. Instead, eat low carb food in a small portion such as brown bread and brown rice. Low carb food is high in fiber which makes you full faster helping in smooth bowel movement.

2. Drink the Right Amount of Water
3. No Unhealthy Snacking
Snacking between meals can become a roadblock in your weight loss process and you may start gaining weight after you hit the low point. If you can’t help snacking in between meals, switch junk with healthy snacks such as almonds and peanuts. Another way to keep snacking at bay is to drink water whenever you feel like eating snacks, because more often than not we mistake thirst with hunger.

4. Eat Protein Rich Food
Protein is crucial for the body. As after bariatric surgery the size of your stomach is decreased, it is recommended to eat at least 80 grams of protein in a day, in order to stay healthy. As body needs protein to function properly, if you are not feeding enough amount of protein to your body, it will begin to extract energy from the body muscles. Lack of protein can also make you feel nauseous, weak, and tired and may also result in swelling, hair loss, and various other skin problems in the long run.
