Do you ever just get in the car and drive? Like just put your foot on the pedal and let the car take you away — making arbitrary decisions as to where to turn? I do… sometimes… just because there’s a WHOLE WORLD out there that if you don’t take the less beaten path, you’ll never experience. I have found some of the most amazing treasures this way, met some of the most amazing people, and made some of the most amazing memories. Crazy enough, this is how many bariatric patients look at their weight loss journey. They throw caution to the wind, making choices throughout the day, hoping they are h ..read more

Pardon me while I jump up on my soapbox for a moment (again) but unless you are VERY different from me, you didn’t have this surgery to spend the rest of your life DIETING. Been there… done that. FAILED MISERABLY. No… you had bariatric surgery to regain your health, to change the outcome of your life, to finally be an active participant rather than a bystander with your obesity determining your path. You had this surgery so that you never had to DIET again. So why is it that so many of you are stuck in the diet mentality? Why is it that so many of you continue to exhibit the same behaviors tha ..read more

I’m sitting here this morning staring at my calendar and for a few brief moments, I began to panic a bit. I have SO MUCH to do in the next few weeks. Like an INSANE amount of work. I have to develop a dozen+ new recipes, create 16 complete meal plans, call 100+ clients, host 6 live calls, answer a bazillion messages, design the label for my protein powder, conduct sessions with my 4 VIP clients, and produce the content for the first month of my Bariatric Living class for my ELITE clients who are in maintenance. This doesn’t include recording 4 podcast sessions, my Two Minute Tip segments, or N ..read more

Over the past few weeks, something has been really bothering me. No… bothering is not the right word. Worrying? Upsetting? Troubling? Concerning? Yes. Concerning me. For most of us, we have spent a great majority of our life obese. We’ve tried every DIET known to mankind and we’ve FAILED. That’s why we are here. When we make the decision to go all in… to surgically alter our body for LIFE… we make the decision to change. To finally take control of our health and our nutrition. Right? Then why do so many of us still treat our post-op weight loss journey like we are on a DIET? Didn’t we have sur ..read more

  We are all here because we bit the bullet and had surgery to lose weight. We have a tool to help us… and during the first year, it works pretty well… almost too well! And as a result, many of us don’t take the time to put in the WORK to LEARN how to use the tool for life. So, I ask you… especially those of you who have never hit your goal or who have regained… Do you REALLY know how to get the most benefit from your tool? I do. This is my area of expertise. And if you allow me… I can teach you how to HIT your goals and STAY there. Nutrition is critical – in fact, it’s the COMPASS of yo ..read more
