Weight loss surgery can make it difficult to include those foods that we know are beneficial for our health.

In today's episode, I go through what inflammatory foods are, why they are helpful to the body, and how you can incorporate them after the surgery.

Weight regain after bariatric surgery can be a tough journey, filled with unique challenges. So, if you're feeling alone or struggling, know that you're not the only one. 

Social media support groups and communities have become a lifeline for many on this journey. They offer a sense of understanding and empathy that may be lacking in our immediate surroundings. 

Joining these groups can help break the isolation and learn new information to support your journey. 

In today's episode is all about the incredible benefits of social media in your post-bariatric surgery experience.

I often get the question, did my surgeon do the surgery right? 

Why don’t I feel full? Sometimes it has to do with the composition of the diet, as many don’t feel full on the fluid phase. However, at various time in your WLS journey, you might notice varying levels of restriction/fullness.

I'm here to explain with you that there are many reasons as to why you might find various levels of restriction. It is completely normal! Do your best to keep the food diary and be curious about your restriction day to day.

Weight loss surgery is a transformative journey, and while it can bring many positive changes to your life, it can also lead to a habit of comparing yourself to others.
 
Comparing ourselves to others is a natural human tendency but it can bring harm. 

Today, on Reverse the Post-Op Regain, we'll explore the reasons behind this tendency and share practical tips to help you break free from the comparison trap and embrace your unique journey.

Vitamin B6 is a water soluble vitamin that was thought not to build up in the body. 

Clearly, it can. In recent years, more B6 toxicity has been reported and become problematic for many people. There are severe side effects. 

In this episode, I go through what to look out for, how to diagnose and treatment. It is important to test, not to guess, so if you are experiencing these symptoms, get these tested and then a plan to remedy can follow. The deficiency symptoms are the same as toxicity symptoms, so try to test first!

Have you had the foamies? If you said yes, you probably know what I’m talking about. If you don’t know what the foamies are, it is the term described by the weight loss surgery or bariatric community of this thick mucus or saliva that comes up during or after meals.

In this episode, I'll go through the causes of the foamies and strategies to minimise and avoid this in the future.
