Consequences of a wrong diet on your health after weight-loss surgery
1. If you eat too fast or overeat, you may experience symptoms of nausea and vomiting.
2. You may experience gas, bloating, diarrhoea, or cramping if you have lactose intolerance. Have lactose-free milk or drink smaller amounts of milk at a time
3. Some people experience hair loss temporarily due to low protein and other nutrients in their diet
4. You may suffer from dehydration, dry mouth, fatigue, and headache if your fluid intake is insufficient. Try to sip liquids very often during the day
5. Your body may empty food quickly after you eat a meal. You can prevent this by avoiding refined sugars and foods high in fat. You should also avoid consuming fluids immediately after a meal
6. A low intake of fibre can lead to constipation. To prevent that, increase your fluid intake and have more fibre-rich food
