However, on your journey towards a healthier, happier life, the term "weight loss" is often used interchangeably to mean "fat loss."

And unfortunately, that’s not necessarily always the case.

Weight Loss Is NOT the Same Things as Fat Loss

• Water loss
• Muscle loss
• Fat loss

When You Lose Weight FAST, You’re Likely Losing Muscle

If it’s water, no biggie. Water comes and goes.

If it’s muscle loss, it’s a big deal.

Your muscle weight is directly correlated with your metabolism! So it’s important to try and keep as much muscle as possible after surgery.

How to minimize muscle loss you ask? Meet your minimum daily protein goal and do strength exercises 2-3 days per week.

Calories Matter

Fat loss is a gradual process that’s gonna require your patience and perseverance. Each pound of body fat contains approximately 3500 calories.

So, achieving significant fat loss requires repeated calorie deficit over an extended period. You’re in for a marathon, not a sprint!

Your surgery (theoretically) helps you reduce calories by reducing your portions. But it IS possible to outsmart your surgery and over consume calories, despite having a smaller stomach.
