Long-Term Weight Loss Support

Two key factors in achieving and maintaining your healthier weight are using the REALIZE mySUCCESS^® Program and relying on the positive relationships with your bariatric surgeon, weight loss surgery support groups, friends, and family, who will continue to encourage you and hold you accountable.

Most bariatric surgeons and weight loss experts will tell you that ongoing weight loss support helps their bariatric patients achieve the greatest level of success.

That's why the REALIZE^™ Solution^† for gastric banding, gastric bypass, and sleeve gastrectomy includes REALIZE mySUCCESS^®. It's a Web-based clinical support tool designed to help you maintain a healthier weight. In fact, it has been shown that REALIZE Band patients who frequently use REALIZE mySUCCESS^® lose significantly more weight.*

Designed in collaboration with experts to provide bariatric surgery support

REALIZE mySUCCESS^® was designed in consultation with bariatric surgeons, dietitians, and behavior modification specialists who identified two essential stages for success following bariatric surgery. Stage 1: building healthy habits over the first 18 months. Stage 2: staying motivated, on track, and connected with your bariatric practice over the next 18 months and beyond.

REALIZE mySUCCESS^® is designed to meet the unique needs of bariatric patients. It helps bariatric patients:

• Progress through the five different eating phases after surgery (from liquids to solids) with sample daily meals, staged over time
• Adopt good eating and hydration habits, including better food choices, portion control, smaller bites, thorough chewing, and separating liquids from meals
• Identify emotional eating triggers by allowing patients to track calorie intake by mood, setting, and planned versus unplanned meals
• Take the proper nutritional supplements for optimum health, in accordance with the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) guidelines
• Stay motivated and on track by setting goals and by creating personal plans, reminders, coping strategies, and support systems to achieve them

Finding motivation through small goals unrelated to weight loss

Staying motivated can be a challenge. One great way to keep up your motivation is to focus on achieving small goals unrelated to weight loss, like walking in a 5K or doing ten push-ups. Use REALIZE mySUCCESS^® to help you set your non-weight-related goals. This Web-based clinical support tool will also help you reinforce your motivation to stay true to your plan by tracking your improvement through charts, graphs, and photos. You can even envision how you'll look when you reach your goal. After you reach your goals, don't forget to celebrate your weight loss achievements.
