You’ll come across endless motivational tips, tricks and mantras after weight-loss surgery, but sometimes the simplest tools make the biggest impact.

Journaling can be a powerful way to track both physical and emotional progress, giving you a clearer picture of how far you’ve come and where you’re headed.

Before surgery:
✍️ Reflect on your habits and relationship with food
✍️ Document lifestyle and eating habits
✍️ Use your journal to help us understand your lifestyle before surgery

After surgery:
✍️ Monitor nutrition, portions and how your body responds
✍️ Identify roadblocks
✍️ Track goals, accomplishments, and remind yourself how far you’ve come!

Whether you’re tracking meals or writing down how you feel, journaling is a small act that can make a big difference.

Why is strength training so important after surgery? 💪

Strength training doesn’t always mean heavy weights. Bodyweight exercises, resistance bands and simple at-home movements can all support your body post-recovery:

🏋️‍♀️ Aids fat loss, muscle maintenance, energy, bone health and confidence
🏋️‍♀️ No fancy equipment or gym membership needed
🏋️‍♀️ Consistency matters more than intensity

We’ll work with you to build a routine that fits your body and your pace – one gentle rep at a time!

Nutrition mythbusting: “you should eat as little as possible to lose weight”

We know you’ve heard it before, less food = more weight loss, but the truth is that under-eating long-term can actually stall your progress and negatively impact your health – slowed metabolism, increased fatigue and nutrient deficiency.

Your body needs fuel to function and heal, even after weight-loss surgery. It’s important to focus on nutrient-dense meals, not just calorie restriction.

🥢 Takeaway, but make it nourishing. Sushi can be a smart choice on the go, think brown rice, lean fish, and plenty of veggies.

Opt for sashimi, avocado rolls, or a fresh poke bowl for a light, protein-rich meal that won’t derail your goals. 🍣🥑
