Will I just be living on soup and soft food forever?

No. Definitely not!

Yes, there are changes: how you eat, how you chew, how quickly you eat. But with the right support, most people eat a full and enjoyable diet again.

You might cook differently. You might eat slower. But you don’t have to give up flavour or joy.

When patients stop GLP-1s like semaglutide, exercise becomes even more important.

A Danish study showed that those who stopped medication and kept exercising regained far less weight than those who didn’t.

One year on, the difference was several kilos, and much more in body composition.

The message? Don’t stop moving. Especially when the medication stops.

After rapid weight loss, muscle loss can sneak up on people.

That’s why we usually bring in light weights pretty early. I’m talking one or two kilos, nothing extreme.

It helps protect your strength, your metabolism and can reduce loose skin over time. It’s simple but powerful.

If you’ve ever Googled “which weight loss surgery is best,” you’re definitely not the only one. There are a few different types of bariatric surgery,and each one works a little differently.

This post gives a quick overview. Not to pick the right one for you, that part happens in conversation. But just to help you get familiar with what’s out there.

If you’ve got questions, we’re always happy to talk!

Structured exercise is great, but so is life movement.

Take the stairs. Walk the long way back from the shops. Do a few squats while brushing your teeth.

Pushups at the kitchen bench while you’re waiting for the kettle to boil. That’s one of my favourites.

These little moments add up more than people realise.

It’s one of the biggest questions we get, and the answer is, sometimes, yes.

Research shows that tapering off slowly, rather than stopping cold, can help maintain progress. Support from a team, plus changes to diet, mindset, and exercise habits, can also reduce the risk of rebound weight.

Obesity is a chronic condition. Coming off medication isn’t the end of the journey, it’s a new phase that still needs support.

We recently wrote a blog exploring this in more detail for those who want to dig into the research and strategies.

The patients who do best long-term aren’t always the ones who lose the most weight early.

They’re the ones who reach out early, ask questions, and stay connected with their care team.

Support makes a difference. So if you're unsure, plateauing, or feeling stuck, please ask. That’s what we're here for.

A quiet moment between appointments at our Williamstown clinic.

Great to be working alongside Elizabeth Finchett, our wonderful medical receptionist who keeps everything running smoothly and always brings warmth to the front desk.
