Today is World Diabetes Day and we are joining in to help raise awareness for people living with Diabetes and their daily life challenges. For the 537 million people worldwide living with diabetes, everyday life can be a struggle approaching every part of the day with constant caution and extra effort. Many people experience stigma, bullying, and a sense of hopelessness.

Perhaps you, or someone you love or know could benefit from more support. From today Diabetes Australia is promoting free membership to their community to access support and advice on living with Diabetes. Its worth checking out!

Some great “fast food” ideas on when time is short for meal prep

Weight loss surgery friendly meals don't need to be complicated or take hours to put together 🙅🏼‍♀️

Life is too busy to spend hours preparing meals every day!

Following the our 'Smart Food Combinations' it is easy to pull together fast, satisfying meals without the fuss👌🏻

Simply combine:
✔️ lean protein
✔️ salad or vegetables
✔️ low GI carb
✔️ a little healthy fat
to achieve a satisfying post weight loss surgery meal.

We'd love to hear your favourite healthy, simple meals below 👇🏻 👇🏻 👇🏻

👩‍💻Internet research on weight loss surgery reveals a wealth of information & a wealth of misinformation.

👨‍💻Facebook groups can be both supportive & offer poor advice.

We encourage anyone considering weight loss surgery locally to book in for a 15 min phone consult with our Bariatric Nurse Ruth to get accurate information about weight loss surgery. We will help you navigate the wealth of information and offer qualified advice.

Three habits that are crucial to long term outcomes following weight loss surgery are as follows:

⏱ Keep food and fluid 30 minutes apart.

⏱ Take 10 - 20 minutes to eat your meals

⏱ Take up to 10 minutes to eat your snacks.

These timings are essential at every stage of your weight loss surgery journey.

Getting them 'right' is one of the keys to long term success 💪🏻 👊🏻
