In this episode of Reverse the Post-Op Regain, I go through some ways to cut costs on your grocery budget. You might have had surgery and thought the food bill would decrease, but with proper planning and understanding on where protein is found in foods, you can reduce your grocery budget. 

Keep a notepad handy because I go all over the place and did not structure this in a way that you can easily note it down. So to get full benefit, jot down what resonates in a notebook or in your notes app.

If you've just had weight loss surgery, calorie counting can be extremely unhelpful. When someone is struggling with weight regain, yes it can be helpful, and I speak about that here. 

Calorie counting does not take into account your overall nutrient intake, your fluid intake, and can exacerbate your past history of yo-yo dieting. If this resonates with you, have a listen and consider tracking nutrients not calories.

This week I delve into some of the common myths and misconceptions I come across working as a bariatric dietitian. 

It's common to think that this is THE THING to stop me from gaining weight ever again and thinking that this is the change that will stop "all my bad habits". But on the contrary, it is important to realise that the body is CLEVER. It ends up working with the surgery, and if you don't work WITH it, then you may not achieve the results you desire.

In this episode, I go through how the process of weight loss surgery is undertaken in Australia. This may vary from clinic to clinic so please check with your preferred clinic. The costs vary depending on the surgeon and location so it's best to do your own research and find a clinic that suits your needs. 

This episode is more of a general overview to help you understand what to expect on the journey and how it all unfolds. Ask questions along the way if you're not sure. Be your own health advocate! 

The support of allied health - dietitians, exercise physiologists and psychologists are beenficial in preparing for surgery and longer term post-operatively. You'll see them more regularly, so find one that you gel with for the long term journey.

Your body changes completely after bariatric surgery. This also includes your blood sugar levels.

This episode can help you with food for thought on what to be concerned about in managing your blood sugar long-term after bariatric surgery.

Bariatric surgery changes the anatomy of the gastrointestinal system and the absorption. This also affects how your body responds to nutrients long term. There is a significant risk of nutrient defciencies particularly as time goes on. 

You might feel well but aren't actually realising that it can take  years for a deficiency to develop. 

I go through signs and symptoms to be aware of. Remember you need to take a bariatric multivitamin long term and get annual bloods. See your healthcare team for more support in this area.

Are you immediately or in your first year after bariatric surgery? In this time after weight loss or metabolic surgery, the habits and routines that you need to be mindful of don't seem so important as the weight falls off. 

This episode reminds you to not get complacent in your first year post-op. It's an exciting time but also a time to build strong healthy habits that will not only help the weight come off, but stay off long term.
