While your Gastric Balloon will help you lose excess body weight, you will need to work with your balloon in order to experience the best results for long-term weight loss. The Spatz3 weight loss balloon will help you develop healthy eating habits, but in order to truly maintain your progress long into the future, you will need to fully commit to creating a more active and healthy lifestyle.
This may seem like a lofty goal, but don’t worry, we’re here to help!
Below we’ll discuss a few keys to maintaining long-term weight loss success. Let’s dive right in!
Forget about diets, it’s time for real change:
People love to discuss the benefits surrounding various diets, but oftentimes these diets can actually be harmful to your weight loss goals. If you want to enact real change for your long-term benefit, the best way to do so is to change your eating habits overall.
Being that your diet will eventually end, once you begin eating normally again you can expect significant weight regain. However, if you manage to change your eating habits, you will be better positioned to maintain your success for the future.

Time to start exercising:
Exercise is one of the main facets of maintaining one’s weight loss. In fact, studies show that approximately 50 minutes of moderate exercise each day can lead to better weight management. While this may sound like a difficult task, walking is considered a form of moderate workout!
Try to start walking a bit each and every day, and you’ll be amazed by the results. If you’re looking for an exercise routine that’s more intense than walking, check out this blog about working out from home.
Monitor your efforts:
If you don’t know what you need to change, how are you possibly going to charge for the better? By monitoring both your eating habits and exercise routine, you will be better positioned to develop and maintain a weight loss strategy that works for you.
Try starting a food journal, or maybe even write down when you exercise and what workouts you performed. By doing so, you’ll gain a better understanding of what is working for your body, and you can ditch the practices that haven’t provided you with the results you desire.
Support is key:
In the past, we’ve written about the importance of gaining support from your family and friends along your weight loss journey. By doing so, you can create a small-knit community of people surrounding you that will do what they can to help you reach your weight loss goals.
Whether it’s finding a workout buddy, communicating your needs to your family members, or even starting a friends / family group chat for when you discover a delicious new healthy food, gaining the support of others will help you maintain your long-term weight loss.

Don’t forget your original intention:
More often than not, losing weight isn’t just about getting rid of your excess body fat. Whether you’re trying to avoid current or future health concerns or working to improve your self-image and overall confidence, there’s oftentimes a “why” behind your intention to lose weight.
As you begin to accomplish your goals, because with true dedication you will, you must not forget the reason why you started your journey. In times of self-doubt, remember your original intention and let that message bring you the confidence to continue reaching for your weight loss goals. Most importantly, once you finally do accomplish your goals, don’t forget to give yourself a pat on the back, because you deserve to be your best self!
