Get Active for Spring: Support for Every Step of Your Weight Loss Journey

As the days grow warmer and the flowers begin to bloom, spring is the perfect season to get moving and refocus on your health. At the New Life Center for Bariatric Surgery in Knoxville, TN, we’re here to support every step of your weight loss journey—whether you’re preparing for bariatric surgery, recovering after surgery, or exploring new options after weight loss medication changes.

Movement Matters—At Every Stage

Physical activity is a vital part of both surgical and non-surgical weight loss success. Whether you’re just getting started or adjusting to a new routine after surgery, spring offers the ideal environment to ease into (or ramp up) your movement.

Here are a few spring-friendly activities that can help you get active and stay motivated:

🌿 Walking Outdoors – One of the most accessible and effective forms of exercise. Start with short walks around your neighborhood or local park, and gradually build up your distance.

🚶‍♀️ Low-Impact Hiking – Knoxville has plenty of scenic trails like those at Ijams Nature Center or the Urban Wilderness. These are great for building stamina and enjoying the beauty of the season.

🧘‍♂️ Gentle Yoga or Stretching in the Sun – Outdoor yoga helps with flexibility and mindfulness—great for stress relief and post-surgery recovery.

🚴 Cycling or Stationary Biking – Biking is easy on the joints and can be done at your own pace. A great option for people easing into cardio.

🧹 Spring Cleaning & Gardening – Yes, even cleaning out your flower beds or tidying up your space counts as movement!

A New Season of Support—Beyond Medications

We understand that some patients who have been on weight loss medications may no longer have easy access to them after April 22. If you’re one of those individuals, you are not alone—and you are not without options.

At New Life Center for Bariatric Surgery, we offer a comprehensive approach to weight loss that includes:

✅ Nutritional counseling and coaching
✅ Medically supervised non-surgical weight loss plans
✅ Behavioral and emotional support
✅ Bariatric surgery options when appropriate

Our team will work closely with you to create a customized plan that aligns with your health goals, lifestyle, and medical history—whether or not medications are part of your current journey.

Let This Spring Be Your Turning Point

Whether you’re transitioning off weight loss medications, preparing for bariatric surgery, or getting back into your wellness routine after surgery, there’s no better time to spring into action.

We’re here to support you—with education, accountability, and compassionate care—every step of the way.
