Post Surgery Support

The first year after surgery is called the “honeymoon period” where the most weight loss occurs and people report an absence of stomach hunger, preference for healthy foods and lack of desire for their former eating habits. But by year two many people relapse.

Don’t worry. Once we identify the relapse triggers and cultivate a Self-care Mindset we can “re-set your pouch” and get back on track!

Are you experiencing: 

1.)  Hunger has returned and you’re experimenting with favorite foods again.

2.)  Your portion sizes have increased.

3.) You’ve slipped off the exercise routine.

4.) You’re grazing rather than eating meals.

5.) You’re not tracking your food.

6.)  You’ve stopped weighing yourself weekly.

7.) Regain has happened.

8.)  You’re drinking alcohol.

9.) You’ve developed another coping tool like shopping or smoking.

10.) You’re experiencing dumping syndrome?
