Adherence to Mediterranean Diet or Physical Activity After Bariatric Surgery and Its Effects on Weight Loss, Quality of Life, and Food Tolerance

Weight Loss After Sleeve Gastrectomy: Does Type 2 Diabetes Status Impact Weight and Body Composition Trajectories?

“…Some first line of evidence already supports this claim in general BS candidates. For example, adherence to Mediterranean diet postsurgery significantly improved weight-loss response at 1-year, after RYGB or SG(35). However, this was not specifically tested in individuals with T2D.…”

Missing Something? Comparisons of Effectiveness and Outcomes of Bariatric Surgery Procedures and Their Preferred Reporting: Refining the Evidence Base

“…Likewise, there were no significant associations of change in sport and work activity with %TWL at 24 months for RYGB or SG [9]. PA after BS was not associated with the scale of WL [21]; PA was not a predictor of WL even if PA significantly increased after BS [39]; and, WL one year post-RYGB was not associated with self-reported or objectively measured PA [40].…”

“…Notwithstanding, relationships between post-op PA/diet on the one hand and the anthropometric WL and biochemical/clinical outcomes of BS on the other exhibit inconsistencies. After BS, individuals who increased their PA tended to lose more weight than those who maintained or decreased their PA, but the WL differences were not significant [21]. Likewise, there were no significant associations of change in sport and work activity with %TWL at 24 months for RYGB or SG [9].…”

“…Binging and grazing eating patterns after BS are associated with poor outcomes [15]. Post-BS, morbidly obese people achieve more WL if they follow, e.g., a Mediterranean diet [21]. A WL diet is very important after WL surgery [22], and as weight is easily gained with high-calorie food after BS, it is necessary to control the diet [16].…”

“…In terms of PA, the Baecke questionnaire assesses the amount of time spent on leisure, work, and sport activity [9,57]. The Bariatric Analysis and Reporting Outcome System (BAROS) and its modification [37,58] evaluate changes in quality of life, metabolic effects, and complications after BS, but do not consider the quality of diet or PA [21]. Recently, a study used a mobile phone App to track PA among patients considered for and who had previously undergone BS [20].…”
