Meal prepping is one of the most dreaded elements of our bariatric recovery. So many of us struggle with meal planning and prep, even though it is a tool we can use to find long-term success after bariatric surgery. We might be riding high on the meal prep train for a week or two, then we fall off the tracks and into old habits and routines. Change is HARD, it feels awkward. But that is how you know change is happening. 

We sat down with Kathryn, the Bariatric Queen herself, to understand all of the ins and outs of meal planning and prep. She is 5 years post-op VSG and has *mastered* the tricks of the trade. In this conversation, she shares with us how she came to her current meal prep habits and explains WHY it is such an important and necessary too along the bariatric journey. She also details her recent health struggles and implores everyone in our community to remain vigilant with your vitamins and your surgical and nutritional guidelines after surgery.
