In this episode, I sit down with registered dietitian Megan Wolf to dive deep into the importance of hydration after bariatric surgery. We bust some common myths about hydration, share practical tips for boosting your daily water intake, and talk about how alcohol can throw a wrench in your hydration game. Megan and I also dig into the effects of caffeine on hydration, the emotional connections we have with food, and why personalized nutrition advice is so critical for bariatric patients. We highlight the value of accountability, the power of having an outside perspective, and how making small, sustainable changes can set you up for long-term success after surgery. If you're serious about thriving after bariatric surgery, this conversation is packed with real talk, practical strategies, and game-changing advice you won't want to miss.
