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!
