Understanding Stress Eating

Stress can influence our eating habits, often leading to cravings for sugary or high-fat foods. This response is linked to the release of cortisol, a hormone that can increase appetite and drive the desire for comfort foods.

To manage stress-related eating, consider the following strategies:

🍵 Enjoying a cup of herbal tea
🚶‍♂️ Taking a brief walk
📝 Journaling your thoughts and feelings
💆‍♀️ Practicing deep breathing exercises

At Brisbane Obesity Clinic, we understand the challenges of stress-related eating and are here to support you on your journey to better health.

📢 Gastric Sleeve vs. Gastric Bypass – What’s the Difference?

🤔 Thinking about bariatric surgery but unsure which option is right for you?

Here’s a quick comparison!

Gastric Sleeve:
✅ Removes 75-80% of the stomach
✅ Limits food intake & reduces hunger hormones
✅ No changes to intestines

Gastric Bypass:
✅ Creates a small stomach pouch attached to the small intestine
✅ Reduces calorie absorption for faster weight loss
✅ Requires lifelong vitamin supplementation

Both are effective weight loss solutions – but which one suits your lifestyle best?

Always consult your doctor for personalized guidance.

Feeling Full After Bariatric Surgery? Here’s What to Know!

At Brisbane Obesity Clinic, we see how fullness changes after surgery — it’s not always a “full stomach” anymore. You might notice sneezing, burping, cramps, or pressure instead.
These are your body’s signals to stop eating. Listen to them!
Top tips:

• Eat small, slow meals
• Stop when you feel full
• Avoid drinks with meals

🛌 Sleep Your Way to Weight Loss? Here’s the Truth.

Struggling with cravings after a bad night's sleep? You’re not alone!

When we don’t get enough sleep, our body produces more ghrelin (the hunger hormone) and less leptin (the fullness hormone). 😴

➡️ Less sleep = more cravings for high-calorie foods like 🍕 and 🍩.

✅ Aim for 7–9 hours of quality sleep to help regulate your hunger cues and support healthy weight management.

Do you ever snack when you’re not physically hungry—maybe when you're bored, stressed or feeling low?

That’s called emotional eating, and you’re not alone.

Here are 3 simple strategies to help break the cycle:

🌟 Identify what triggers your cravings
🌟 Try non-food coping habits (walk, write, breathe)
🌟 Eat mindfully—ask: “Am I really hungry?”

✨ Food is fuel, not a fix.

What’s your favourite way to handle stress—without heading to the pantry?

Supplements After Bariatric Surgery: What You Need to Know

After bariatric surgery, taking supplements isn’t just recommended—it’s essential for your long-term health. Since your body’s ability to absorb nutrients changes, you’ll need a personalized supplement plan that fits your specific needs.

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach! The right supplements for you depend on several factors, including:

✅ The type of surgery you had
✅ Your blood test results
✅ Your age and individual health needs

Timing and combinations matter too! For example, calcium and iron should always be taken at least two hours apart to ensure proper absorption.

Most importantly, not all multivitamins are the same. A bariatric multivitamin is specifically designed for post-surgery needs, unlike a generic multivitamin meant for general health.

To get the best results, always consult your bariatric dietitian or surgeon to make sure you’re getting the right nutrients in the right way. Your health is worth it!
