045: Bariatric Myth Busting with Megan @mybariatricdietitian


Listen Later

We all go into bariatric surgery with expectations. But what most of us find soon after our procedures, what we expected is not what actually happens. We expect to lose 100 pounds in three months or we blissfully think that hunger will be a thing of the past. When these expectations turn into myths, we get discouraged. We instantly think that our tool has failed and that we have failed our tool. It is why we have a 50% chance of regaining me or all of our weight 2 years after surgery.

HAVE NO FEAR, Megan @mybariatricdietitian is here! Megan is a Registered Dietitian who is passionate about understanding and support this community. Her message and support focus on dispelling these myths and getting to the root of the issue. In this episode, she talked with us about:

  • Remaining invested in our recovery when the scale stops moving.
  • Understanding the biology behind hunger.
  • Unrealistic expectations of weight loss.
  •  What we do or do not have control over after WLS.
  • CARBS!

  • If you do not follow Megan, do so now! She is also the author of one of our community's most coveted cookbooks, The Complete Bariatric Cookbook and Meal Plan!
