Weight loss surgery is a significant investment, both financially and in terms of your health.
But did you know that over 50% of patients regain the weight they lose as a result of surgery?
While WLS will help with the physical aspects of your weight-loss journey, unless you also address your emotional relationship with food, it’s easy to fall back into old habits and end up regaining most, if not all, of the weight lost.
As a Specialist Bariatric dietitian with over 30 years experience, I believe that mindset is everything when it comes to maintaining your post-surgery weight loss, which is why I’ve put together an 8 Week Online Post-WLS Wellness Program.
My Program will help you create a positive mindset, challenge your relationship to food, address emotional eating patterns and work on feeling empowered in your food choices.
You’ll get access to all the tips, tricks and tools I provide in my 1:1 coaching, delivered in a comprehensive way that’s suitable for everyone, regardless of where you are in your weight loss journey.
You’ll also have the option to get EXCLUSIVE access to The Dietologist T.R.I.B.E (Transforming Results In Bariatric Eating & Weight loss), and with it the opportunity to be part of a fantastic community of people, each of whom is on their own weight loss journey. It’s a place to access immediate support, get information updates and recipes, share your success, and participate in bi-monthly group coaching.
"Remember, it's not WHAT you eat, it's about WHY you eat.
Don’t let your weight-loss investment go to waste!"

want to know more about the 8 week program?
Here’s a quick breakdown of what you’ll get when you sign up to the 8 Week Post-WLS Wellness Program:
WEEK ONE: WLS FOUNDATIONS:
This week I help you understand how your WLS tool works, the do's and don'ts of WLS, including hunger levels, and how to map out your weight loss journey to help set realistic weight goals. You'll gain a clearer idea about how much you want to lose and how long it will take to achieve your weight and health goals.
WEEK TWO: HOW TO EAT FOR YOUR SURGERY:
We discuss the post-op healing phase, including a diet reset to get you back on track if you’re experiencing weight regain. I talk about MACROs, protein goals, fluid guidelines, and how to use the bariatric plate method to help you lose weight, rather than simply counting calories. You'll also discover that where your calories come from really does matter; the wrong food group can cause a hormonal shift, leading to weight gain rather than loss.
WEEK THREE: WORKING WITH YOUR SURGERY
We discuss the importance of eating techniques and how to put them into practice, dumping syndrome, prepping and planning your meals, pantry and fridge/freezer storage ideas, plus how frequently you should be eating after WLS to meet your needs, using evidence-based eating techniques and correct food textures to help with fullness levels. You’ll learn about when it’s safe to drink fluids and understand why it’s important to follow this advice to ensure optimum weight loss results.
WEEK FOUR: YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD:
We cover real hunger v emotional hunger, triggers to emotional eating, the hunger and fullness scale, and food and mood. You'll begin to identify your emotional hunger triggers, understand hunger and fullness levels, learn how to use the hunger scale and understand why you eat when you do.
WEEK FIVE: TRASHING THE TRIGGERS TO EMOTIONAL EATING
This week we work on how to manage your emotional eating triggers, discuss eating in response to our social environment or childhood influences, plus how stress and cortisol can affect weight loss and cravings. You'll learn how to use your food and mood diary to examine the psychology of why you eat when you’re not physically hungry. You’re now beginning to trust your hunger and fullness cues, helping you to work with your WLS.
WEEK SIX: DIETING CYCLE AND CRAVINGS
We dig deep into your mindset this week. You’ll understand why you crave certain food and why “dieting” doesn’t serve you anymore, as well as your mindset with regards to losing weight. You’ll journal your thoughts and feelings about your weight from childhood and start to connect with your eating habits and inner child. We also discuss living with food restriction and bingeing, good and bad foods, the all-or-nothing mindset, black and white thinking, and how these can sabotage your weight loss.
WEEK 7: CREATING BALANCE:
We start to create your new way of eating to help banish old habits. We explore mindfulness, I share a SECRET rule to create balance around food, exercise and life, and we look at how to manage weight stalls/plateaus. We'll celebrate all your victories, including those not related to the weighing scales, and you’ll know the SECRETS to long-term weight loss success.
WEEK 8: THE RIGHT MINDSET
This week is all about improving your relationship with yourself, including self-esteem, imposter syndrome and changing the inner critic to become your best self. You’ll learn the power of gratitude and affirmations, and continue your journey of empowerment towards becoming the NEW YOU! This is the inner work I've done (and continue to practice everyday) to transform my life and I know you can do it, too. It’s the icing on the cake you’ve been looking for!
BUT DON’T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT. HERE’S WHAT SOME OF MY CLIENTS HAVE SAID:
FAQ'S
What is bariatric aftercare and why do I need it?
Bariatric/Weight Loss surgery aftercare provides the support you need to make changes for long-term weight loss. Without this you're likely to regain the weight you lose after a few years. 50% of patients regain ALL the weight they lose due to lack of effective aftercare support. I like to use the analogy of a house when discussing WLS aftercare/support:
“We need to get the foundations right before we start to build and decorate our homes, otherwise the cracks keep appearing.”
The inner work you do before and after any bariatric procedure is the most critical part of the process. I can help prepare you for surgery and support you through the post-surgery aftercare.
Won’t I just lose weight automatically after having my surgery?
WLS surgery does approximately 30% of the work controlling real hunger. What it doesn’t do is control emotional eating or change your thoughts and feelings about food, or yourself. Having been in the industry for many years, I’ve seen that most women I’ve worked with struggle to change their emotions around food. They believe the surgery or a diet will “FIX” them, but there are usually deeper issues that need to be addressed.
Can’t I just put a meal plan together or go on a diet and get the same results?
Meal plans are very general and I like to manage my clients as real people. Diets and meal plans can also create a mindset where food cravings can result in a cycle of bingeing and restricting. With the Dietologist
8 week Working With Your Surgery & Emotional Eating program I help you break free from the dieting mindset, move away from labelling foods as "good" and "bad" and create a better relationship with food, so you don’t have to worry about counting calories or following a restrictive meal plan.
You’ll finish the course equipped with the knowledge to create your own meal ideas and plan as you wish for your needs.
Do I have to be pre op in order to join?
Absolutely not! With the Dietologist 8 week Working With Your Surgery & Emotional Eating program you have the option to access amazing support (via our T.R.I.B.E group) and advice regardless of which stage you’re at in your weight loss journey. I would recommend you access Group coaching calls with the program for the best results.With the Dietologist
8 week Working With Your Surgery & Emotional Eating program course you get access to amazing support and advice regardless of what stage you are at in your weight loss journey.
What if I can’t make it to a LIVE Q & A session?
If you choose to access our group support (via T.R.I.B.E) all live sessions will be recorded so you can watch the replay of the sessions in the online community group. You can also post your questions in the group to be answered during the live session.
