I love my job as a bariatric nutritionist and surgery coordinator. What a fun topic this is for me – I have had the opportunity to work side by side with weight loss surgery clients for 13 years now – what a wonderful job I have. I mean, I get to see people THRIVE […]
This is a BIG topic because we ALL experience it. Who doesn’t compare their bariatric journey with their neighbor? Who doesn’t compare their losses to the other people in their FB support group or the bariatric forums that most of us are a member of? Who doesn’t wonder “why the […]
I hope that you all had a terrific week last week and that you are geared up for another spectacular one. I make it my business each week to help you to make good choices. I want you to succeed. I root for you every day. I cheer you on and I care about […]
I am starting my week by writing this blog. You see, I’ve been in California (Disneyland and Universal Studios) for the past few days. I am from Ottawa, Canada so it’s a pretty big trip for myself and my two teens. I spoke at a National Bariatric Convention called ObesityHelp #OH2019 last Friday. My topic […]

Let’s talk about those protein shakes that my clients guzzle down two weeks before their weight loss surgery and for a month after surgery. What’s in them? Are they a health food? Should we keep them in our lives to ensure we get enough protein in our diets? How much is too much? I […]
Last week, while scrolling through my social media, I saw a lot of ads about “getting fit” pop up in my newsfeed. I wonder what I was researching? Obviously, I googled something with regards to physical fitness, as google now seemed to be stalking me with this same topic. This took me back to the […]
“What is it that we all fear after bariatric surgery”? I think that the number one answer I get when I ask this question is: the dreaded regain. What I spend a lot of time discussing with my clients is the importance of making real lifestyle changes post weight loss surgery. This is always […]
I run an online support group. If you would like to be a part of our community, go HERE and send a request to join. I will approve it and you can be a part of our community. In our support group, I posted a question last week. That question was, “What are your […]
