After bariatric surgery, our entire relationship with food changes. And many times, we are taken aback by just how much anything food-related changes...it can be downright daunting. Many of us find even our tastebuds change and our entire food palet is reformed. In this episode, we sit down with Kristin Willard, a certified bariatric dietitian to talk about all things FOOD! Kristin's approach is different- she wants us to focus on what we can eat, what we can add to our diets now that we are starting with a blank canvas of sorts. She has curated an amazing spot on Instagram where she shares invaluable information about food after weight loss surgery- portion sizes, what food at different stages looks like, protein ideas, and recipe ideas- all in very "consumable" content squares! Kristin is on a mission to lift the veil on meal prep and planning and we are here for all of it! 

We are so thankful to have connected with Kristin and are thrilled to be passing along her valuable information to others in the bariatric community. We are looking forward to many more conversations with her in the future!
