In today's episode I go through the difference between an active weight loss phase (first 18-24 months post-bariatric surgery) and the maintainance phase (all the time after that!).
Bariatric surgery is no diet. It's no quick fix. Remember the habits and behaviours you're building in the first 12 months are what will carry you through successfully in the months and years to follow.
Work really hard on instilling these behaviours as habits and you'll notice the weight lost remains off long-term.

This episode is practical. Are you struggling to find high protein snacks after the surgery? Do you find the supermarket overwhelming?
In this episode, I go through how to pick a better protein bar, what to look out for, brands to look at (not sponsored) and whole food alternatives. It is all well and good to have protein bars, but consider the overall value of the food as well. I balance this by highlighting protein bars that are manufactured but then also whole food options that provide similar protein amounts and more micronutrients.
You'll want a notepad for this one or your shopping list!

This episode is a great reflective exercise to help you think about the way you have been living and operating from a food and lifestyle perspective, and identify what could be the causes of any weight stall or weight regain you might have had after bariatric surgery.
Weight regain is common - around 30% of bariatric patients experince it. However, how you choose to react to it, is the key here. You can bury your head in the sand, but ultimately, you're hurting yourself and might affect your results post-op.
Listen on to this podcast with a notepad for actionable steps on what and how to reflect on your current lifestyle to spot the gaps on why you might be struggling with your diet today.

Intuitive eating is a straightforward concept. It involves making peace with all types of food, unlike traditional diets that restrict or ban certain items. Instead of categorizing food as “good” or “bad,” intuitive eating encourages you to listen to your body and eat what feels right for you.
You might think this means eating whatever you want whenever you want, but that’s not the case. Experts explain that intuitive eating involves tapping into your body’s natural signals to determine when you’re hungry or satisfied.
By practicing intuitive eating, you also let go of the idea that you need to lose or gain weight to achieve a specific appearance. The focus shifts to choosing foods that support your overall physical and mental well-being.
It can be difficult to incorporate after bariatric surgery but by trying and taking a gentle approach you can learn what foods suit you and minimise foods that don't make you feel good. I go through how you can use it after the surgery and practical considerations to implement.
