Discover a revolutionary approach to weight loss with the Allurion Balloon! 🌟

Step 1: Begin with swallowing a capsule that carries the balloon, all without the need for surgery, anaesthesia, or endoscopy. This quick 15-minute outpatient procedure is the first step towards a transformative journey.

Step 2: Once the balloon is safely in your stomach, your doctor fills it with liquid through a thin tube. This innovation helps you feel fuller faster and for a longer duration with less food, guiding you towards mindful eating habits.

Step 3: Natural and Effortless Passing - After approximately 16 weeks, the Allurion Balloon is designed to self-empty and exit the body naturally. It's a seamless process that marks a significant milestone in your weight loss journey.

Embark on your path to wellness with Allurion's cutting-edge technology, designed for your comfort and convenience. It's not just about losing weight; it's about gaining a whole new perspective on health and eating. https://www.newcastleobesitysurgery.com.au/obesity-treatment/allurion-gastric-balloon/?utm_content=sked_6552e2335a7bed1a2202eaeb&utm_medium=social&utm_name=sked&utm_source=facebook

Conquer emotional eating by making conscious choices about when, what, and how you eat. Take a moment to tune in to your body's hunger signals and distinguish between physical and psychological hunger. It may feel uncomfortable at first, but it helps you regain control. Embrace cognitive behavioural therapy technique like this and practice mindful eating by bringing full awareness to each plate and bite.

Emotional eating can hinder weight loss and strain your relationship with food, but there are better coping mechanisms. As our dieticians have seen with our clients these strategies can be extremely effective, Remember to always seek support from a qualified practitioner for personalised guidance on your journey!

"After having two balloons, I managed to lose in total 60kgs. I feel like I’ve learned enough of the habits because of the balloon to keep going and at least maintain and hopefully eventually go down a little bit more. Post 60kgs, I have such a new confidence, I was always confident before at least I thought I was, but I wasn’t compared to now!" - Lise, Allurion Balloon Patient.

🎉 NYE is approaching, and if your resolution this year is weight loss, it's time to rethink how you measure success!

Success shouldn't just be about numbers on the scale or BMI. It's about your dietary habits, activity level, and mindset. When you get these right, the numbers will follow.

Your weight loss goals don't have to be just numbers. Think about crossing your legs, tying your shoes, travelling comfortably, playing with your children, or saying goodbye to medications and health conditions. These are all worthy goals too. 🙌

So don't let the scale define your success!

You did it!! Let's celebrate and set those goals for next year, and remember it’s not always about a number!
