Going Strong: Weight Loss Surgery Exercise Program at Griffin Bariatrics

July 27, 2011

At Griffin Hospital, we understand the struggles of adopting a healthy lifestyle, particularly when it comes to exercise. Finding a gym that has staff that recognizes the challenges and health concerns of obesity can be difficult. Due to the popularity of the inspiring and judgment-free Bariatric Exercise Program at Griffin Hospital, the specialized team of exercise physiologists has been expanded. Three exercise physiologists evaluate each person, develop an individual exercise plan and help them progress. Further, new weekend and evening hours make participation more convenient. Eunice Lisk, MS, staff exercise physiologist overseeing the program, sees the incredible strides that patients make every day: “Working with the bariatric patients has been such a delight.

He attended Southern Connecticut State University for Exercise Science with a concentration in Human Performance.... Read More

In fact, let’s take a look at this list: High-fat meats, sausages and hot dogs (one steak can pack up to 1,500 calories/120 grams of fat!) Daiquiri, pina colada and other cocktails (up to 800 calories) Smoothies and slurpees alike (over 700 calories) Ice cream (over 600 calories for a treat in a cone) Salads with mayonnaise (up to 180 calories per serving) These are some of the most preferred items on many dining tables, and we understand that it can be easy...
