From “will this seat fit me?” to “try and keep up with me!” 💃✨

Meet Robin!
Highest weight: 377 lbs
Current weight: 197 lbs
Surgery: Gastric bypass with Dr. James Augusta at JourneyLite

Robin has battled her weight since childhood, walked through unimaginable loss, survived a near-fatal case of COVID, and spent years on oxygen. One terrifying day of chest pounding and breathlessness became her turning point.

She clicked on JourneyLite. She met Dr. Augusta. She said “I’m ready.”

Six months after surgery, she’s over 180 lbs down and gaining all the things the scale can’t measure:
✅ Walking without getting winded
✅ Climbing stairs without stopping
✅ Buckling a seatbelt without worrying about the fit
✅ Tying her shoes with ease
✅ Seeing her collarbone (and her confidence) shine
✅ Finally having… a LAP! 🥹💙

“This hasn’t been an easy fix,” Robin says. “But it’s the best thing I’ve ever done for myself. If you make up your mind and work hard, you can achieve anything you want.”

If her story feels a little like yours, we’re here to help you write your next chapter too. 💚

Candy calling your name from the counter? 🍬👀
Try this willpower-free hack: make it invisible.

Move sweets to an opaque container

Park it on a top shelf or in a closed pantry

Keep fruit/protein snacks front & center

When treats aren’t staring you down, you’re way less likely to grab them on autopilot. Out of sight = out of mind… and in control. 🙌

Mini-challenge: Tonight, relocate your candy stash. Tomorrow, notice the difference.
Bonus swap: Keep a small “mindful portion” ready for when you do want a treat—no guilt, no binge.

Hair shedding after bariatric surgery can be scary—but it’s usually temporary. Most patients see it start around months 2–4 and improve as protein and vitamins stabilize.

💚Our dietitian Devon explains why it happens and how to support regrowth.

✨ Portion power without the “diet” vibes ✨
Want to eat less without feeling restricted? Try these two brain-friendly tricks:

🍽️ Smaller plate, smaller fork. Your eyes see a full plate, but you’re actually serving less—easy win!
🔪 Pre-cut your food. Slice that chicken breast (or apple, steak, etc.) before you sit down. Smaller bites = slower eating = quicker fullness.

Tiny tweaks → big results.
Give these a shot today and keep your portions (and goals) on track. You’ve got this! 💪

🚀 “Why Surgery Delivers Lasting Weight Loss — When GLP-1s Don’t”

Thinking injections are the easiest path? Think again. While GLP-1 drugs like Wegovy® and Zepbound® can help, new evidence shows bariatric surgery outperforms them in both magnitude and durability of weight loss — and offers broader health benefits.

🔍 Learn how surgeries like gastric sleeve and bypass:

Produce 3–5× more weight loss vs GLP-1 therapies

Maintain losses long-term, even when medications fail

Improve metabolic conditions and reduce risks of diabetes, heart disease, and more

If lasting transformation is your goal, this is must-read.

💧 Skip the Bubbles After Bariatric Surgery 💧
By Devon the Dietitian

Carbonated drinks might seem harmless, but after weight loss surgery, those fizzy bubbles can do more harm than good. Gas can stretch your new stomach pouch, cause painful bloating, and make eating uncomfortable.

Even “healthy” sparkling waters may sneak in caffeine, sugar, or artificial sweeteners — which can trigger cravings and slow your progress.

✨ Better hydration = better healing. Choose still water, herbal teas, or protein-rich drinks to stay on track.

But if you do decide to sip something fizzy, try these gentle tips:
⚡ Pour it into a glass and let it sit to release the bubbles
⚡ Add ice and stir to flatten the fizz
⚡ Take slow, tiny sips
⚡ Stick to caffeine-free, sugar-free choices
⚡ Save carbonation for special occasions — not daily habits

Your pouch deserves care. 💚 Keep it happy with calm hydration and mindful choices!
