The best choice is nutritious and high-in-protein soups. It is important that you intake the fluids regularly, it is recommended to consume 8 or more cups of fluids a day including soups.
      The fluids that are recommended include:

      • yoghurts
      • milk (about a pint per day)
      • squashes (they need to be low-calorie or reduced-sugar)
      • diluted fruit juices (one part of juice + one part of water)
      • tea
      • coffee (weak coffee is suggested)
      • soups (smoothed in the blender, broth, clear soups)
      • Oxo, Brovil, Marmite, stock cube diluted in a hot water

      Pills after gastric balloon

      Any bariatric surgery changes the way a body absorbs medications – both these prescribed by the doctor and over-the-counter ones. Also, after the surgery, the health condition changes, for the better usually, and the medications type and doses also change. You need to discuss all your medications with your surgeon a few months before the gastric balloon surgery.
      A couple of weeks after the gastric balloon, your doctor can suggest that you take your medications in a different form, for example chewable, liquid, sublingual, crushed or as an injection.

The tendency to crush depends on the formulation of a drug. For instance, enteric-coated medications are extremely difficult to crush, while quick-release drugs are crushed easily. The dosages of medications after gastric balloon change also and need to be modified regularly. Most patients eliminate high blood pressure thanks to gastric balloon, and then, the daily doses have to be reduced.

      Gastric Balloon = new life

      Gastric baloon was a thing that saved me. I was always obese, I lost some weight a few times, had jo-jo effect, another diet, another breakdown, depression, and so on. I was in a disastrous shape. I went to psychologist who made me aware that my obesity was an illness and needed to be treated like any other illness. I had a gastric balloon surgery done in Poland. 7 months ago. Since that time, I'm still losing weight! I still visit my psychologist. I feel like a human, normal person - like I've never felt in my life. I'm so happy!

      Gastric Balloon was a beginning of a journey…

      I had gained a lot of weight after my divorce. I lost faith in myslef, I started to eat my feelings... My divorce was a tough battle and it costed me a lot. I gained 110 pounds in just 2 years... I was in terrible condition, discovering one disseasse after another, that were connected with my obesity. After a talk with my GP and trying many diets, I decided to have gastric balloon installed in Poland, as it was much more affordable. KCM clinic was a great choice! Now I am a year after the surgery and I am amazed by the results. I am loosing pounds and I am starting to feel better about myslef 🙂 Wish me luck in my journey ahead!

      Gastric Ballon abroad was good

      I decided to have a gastric ballon surgery after I realised I can't put on my socks. I didn't want to try any diets, exercising because I was already too obese for that. Never had friends, never had girlfriend, I literally started to desire this surgery. I borrowed money and had the surgery in Poland. There was really the cheapest clinic I found. I went there by my car (I'm from Germany) because I was ashamed of travelling with other people. That's the last bad memory in my life. Since I got to KCM clinic and talked to a doctor, I felt a new beginning approaches. And so it did. The recovery time was hard, not pleasant, many restrictions, but now, after a year, I feel perfect and my BMI is only 32. I like myself.
