Increase protein = 80–120 g/day (lean chicken, fish, eggs, paneer, whey isolate, Greek yogurt) Cut carbs further = keep <50–80 g net carbs/day (no rice, roti, sweets, fruits except berries/small apple) Add strength training = 3–4×/week (bodyweight squats, push-ups, resistance bands, dumbbells) – builds muscle → boosts metabolism HIIT or fasted walking = 20–30 min 3×/week (after doctor clearance) Track calories/macros = use app (MyFitnessPal) for 2 weeks to find hidden stalls Sleep 7–9 h + manage stress (cortisol blocks fat loss) ✓Tightening Loose/Saggy Skin Skin retraction takes 12–24+ months post-weight loss. Surgery is the only way to remove excess skin permanently, but non-surgical options help improve tone & elasticity: ✓Daily / Weekly Routine Dry brushing = 5 min before shower (stimulates lymph & collagen) Cold showers = end shower with 30–60 sec cold water on torso/arms/thighs Strength training = builds underlying muscle → fills out loose skin (focus on compound lifts: squats, deadlifts, push-ups, rows) Collagen peptides = 10–20 g/day in coffee/tea/water (improves skin elasticity – studies show modest benefit) Topical = firming creams with retinol, caffeine, peptides (limited effect, but safe add-on) Moisturize daily = shea butter or coconut oil after shower ✓Ayurvedic Support (safe post-bariatric) Triphala Churna = 3 gm night with warm water (gentle detox & metabolism support) Medohar Guggulu = 1 tablet twice daily after food (helps break fat plateaus) Shatavari Kalpa = 5 gm night with warm milk (nourishes skin & tissues) ✓Timeline & Expectations Weight restart: 4–12 weeks with above changes Skin tightening: noticeable improvement 6–18 months with muscle gain + collagen Excess skin removal (if needed): wait until weight stable 12–18 months post-op, then consult plastic surgeon (body contouring) Dr Gursimran Jeet Singh MD Panchakarma

Hello I get why you’re worried about your weight loss hitting a wall and your skin sagging after surgery. It’s pretty normal, but it can be a downer, both body and mind-wise. Ayurveda has some gentle, natural ways to get your body going again, rebuild your skin, and firm things up without messing with your stomach or liver. YOUR CONCERN – You had weight loss surgery. – Your weight loss has stopped. – You’ve got saggy skin on your belly, arms, and legs. – You’re probably feeling weak, dry, and not so toned. What Ayurveda Says: After surgery like yours: – Your metabolism can get wonky. – Your muscles, and skin can get weak. – This can lead to saggy skin, dryness, feeling tired, and stalled weight loss. What We’re Aiming For: – Tighten that loose skin. – Bring back collagen and muscle. – Get your body burning fat again. – Keep you strong with good nutrients. – Help you digest food better. Ayurvedic Plan of Action: INTERNAL MEDICATION 1. Ashwagandha Powder: Half a teaspoon with warm milk at night. Helps build muscle and skin. 2. Shatavari Powder: Half a teaspoon with warm milk in the morning. Helps with skin and hormones. 3. Amalaki Rasayan: One teaspoon twice a day after you eat. Vitamin C for anti-aging and skin repair. 4. Guggulutiktakam Kashayam: 15 ml with warm water twice a day. Burns fat and tones. 5. Punarnava Mandur: One tablet twice a day after meals. Good for skin and tissues. EXTERNAL CARE(Important!) Udvartana (Dry Powder Massage): Do this 4–5 days a week. What to use: Triphala powder, Kolakulathadi churna, Mustard powder. Massage in upward strokes on saggy areas for 20 minutes before you shower. Melts fat, tightens skin, and gets the blood flowing. After that: Rub Ksheerabala Taila on your skin. YOGA AND EXERCISE – Walk fast. – Do some resistance stuff (bands or light weights). – Work on your core. – This helps fill out the loose skin with muscle. DIET PLAN INCLUDE: – Moong dal – Paneer / tofu – Eggs (if you eat them) – Ghee – Coconut – Almonds – Bone broth (if allowed) AVOID – Sugar – Packaged stuff – Cold drinks – Refined carbs – Eating late at night Drink: Warm water with lemon every day. Saggy skin after weight loss surgery isn’t forever! Your body just needs a little help rebuilding and getting back in balance. Stick to this plan, and you shouldn’t need more surgery. You can get your body back to feeling firm and young again. Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate

After surgery a plateau is common and loses saggy skin usually happens due to rapid fat loss and reduces skin elasticity For continued weight loss focus on high protein diet adequate hydration and strength training at least 3 to 4 times weekly because muscle building restarts metabolism For skin tightness Strength training is most effective Ensure enough protein collagen rich foods vit c zinc and adequate sleep Oil massage improves circulation but will not dramatically tighten excess skin If skin is significantly loose only surgical tightening gives major visible correction Non surgical methods improve tone but can not remove large excess skin Review with protein iron B12 and vit D because post surgery deficiencies in the above can slow progression
