Q

Gastric Bypass Diet

A

Up to 6 weeks➔ liquid or soft diet; solids added gradually

Pts work with dietician to plan healthy meals balanced in macro & miconutrients

Life-time supplement of vitamins & minerals

Immediately after surgery ➔ Pts likely feel ‘full’ with a couple sips of water

Bowel movements not regular after surgery ➔ avoid constipation & straining

Patients advised: no liquid during meals, before and after meal (once on solids), eat slowly, 5-6 small meals

Q

Waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) norms - males

A

excellent: <0.85

good: 0.85-0.89

average: 0.90-0.95

at risk: >0.95

20
Q

Waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) norms - females

A

excellent: <0.75

good: 0.75-0.79

average: 0.80-0.86

at risk: >0.86

21
Q

Apple Pannus

A

High waist to hip ratio demonstrating an inferior abdominal drift

Intolerant to supine position

Supine to sit: flat spin to Perpendicular ➔ Then progress to full sitting ➔ caution edge of bed

Logroll to side lying careful➔ a little Risker due to potential to roll off edge of bed

22
Q

Pear Abduction

A

Low Waist to hip ratio

Hip abduction movement pattern

Supine to sit: Avoidance of rolling, tend to go from supine to long sitting then short sitting

Sit to stand: knee extension, Followed by trunk extension

23
Q

Pear Adduction

A

Low waist to hip ratio but able to achieve full femoral condyle contact

Hip adduction movement pattern

Supine to sit: May use log rolling or long sitting techniques for supine to sit

W/C foot pedals challenging to fit ➔ wide WC seat and narrow foot rest needs

24
Q

Gluteal Shelf

A

Person who demonstrate excessive asymmetrical posteriorly directed tissue at the level of the gluteal region. May have either high or low waist to hip ratio

Supine may be uncomfortable

W/C seating may need to be adapted for back support

25
Q

Waist to hip vs bmi

A

High waist to hip & high BMI
High BMI
Low waist to hip & high BMI

26
Q

High waist to hip & high BMI

A

high WHR (above 0.9 for men and 0.85 for women) suggests more abdominal (visceral) fat, which is associated with a higher risk of metabolic conditions like heart disease and diabetes

high BMI (above 25 is considered overweight, above 30 is obese) measures overall body weight in relation to height, but it does not distinguish between muscle and fat or fat distribution

Someone with both a high WHR and a high BMI likely has significant fat accumulation around the abdomen, posing a high risk for cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and other metabolic issues.

27
Q

High BMI (with normal or low WHR):

A

high BMI indicates that the person is overweight or obese

normal or low WHR suggests that fat is not primarily located in the abdominal region but may be more distributed in areas like the hips or thighs

fat distribution (e.g., more around the hips and thighs) is considered less harmful metabolically

28
Q

Low waist to hip & high BMI

A

ow WHR suggests that body fat is stored in a healthier distribution, primarily around the hips and thighs rather than the abdomen

high BMI still indicates an overall excess of body weight

person has a higher BMI, the risk for metabolic diseases may be somewhat lower due to the healthier fat distribution
