Let me know what you thought of this episode!Today we're diving into a topic that affects many women who have undergone bariatric surgery—menopause and the potential for weight regain. Menopause is a natural phase of life that every woman will experience, usually between the ages of 45 and 55, though it can happen earlier or later. It marks the end of menstruation and is characterized by a significant drop in estrogen and other hormones. This hormonal shift can lead to a range of symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and sleep disturbances. But for many women, one of the most frustrating aspects of menopause is weight gain, particularly around the abdomen. I go through several strategies to help manage this phase of life effectively.  Remember, this is a journey, and it's okay to ask for help along the way. Menopause is a significant transition, but with the right tools and support, you can continue to thrive.  If you have any questions or topics you'd like us to cover in future episodes, feel free to reach out to us on social media or through our website.

Let me know what you thought of this episode!Intuitive eating is a straightforward concept. It involves making peace with all types of food, unlike traditional diets that restrict or ban certain items. Instead of categorizing food as “good” or “bad,” intuitive eating encourages you to listen to your body and eat what feels right for you.You might think this means eating whatever you want whenever you want, but that's not the case. Experts explain that intuitive eating involves tapping into your body's natural signals to determine when you're hungry or satisfied.By practicing intuitive eating, you also let go of the idea that you need to lose or gain weight to achieve a specific appearance. The focus shifts to choosing foods that support your overall physical and mental well-being. It can be difficult to incorporate after bariatric surgery but by trying and taking a gentle approach you can learn what foods suit you and minimise foods that don't make you feel good. I go through how you can use it after the surgery and practical considerations to implement. Let's chat: Work with me 1:1 by learning about my coaching: https://simpleandeasynutrition.com/apply.html Website: https://www.thebariatriccollective.com.au/ Instagram: @thebariatriccollective Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thebariatriccollective Email: suraya@thebariatriccollective.com.au Free Downloads: Causes of Weight Regain Graphic Download a Free Three Day Meal Plan with Recipes DISCLAIMER The advice provided in the podcast is general in nature and is not intended to constitute or substitute for dietetics, nutrition, professional or medical advice.

If you've just had weight loss surgery, calorie counting can be extremely unhelpful. When someone is struggling with weight regain, yes it can be helpful, and I speak about that here. Calorie counting does not take into account your overall nutrient intake, your fluid intake, and can exacerbate your past history of yo-yo dieting.

This week I delve into some of the common myths and misconceptions I come across working as a bariatric dietitian. It's common to think that this is THE THING to stop me from gaining weight ever again and thinking that this is the change that will stop "all my bad habits".

It ends up working with the surgery, and if you don't work WITH it, then you may not achieve the results you desire. If you loved this episode, please consider leaving a rating and/or review.

Bariatric surgery changes the anatomy of the gastrointestinal system and the absorption. This also affects how your body responds to nutrients long term.

Ramadhan is a spiritual month where we break from worldly pleasures - as we know; these include food, water, intimacy and vulgar talk - whilst conversely, increasing our Taqwa, piety and awareness of oneself, and connecting with Allah (swt).The month of Ramadhan is one of restriction.

February is Gut Health Month. This month I am focusing on your gut health after weight loss surgery. There is some literature around gut health and bariatric surgery, however more research is needed. In this episode, I explain the basics of your gut. There is over 95 trillion species of bacteria in the gut from the mouth all the way through to the anus. Gut diversity has a strong influence on health and risk of disease. Struggling with obesity may mean that you have had a historically low diversity of your gut bacteria.Weight loss surgery is a strong catalyst for change in the gut bacteria. The effects may not be sustained, which further research is needed. However, I question whether this has a role in weight regain after bariatric surgery. I also provide you with three practical strategies that you can implement today to support your gut health. Let's chat: Work with me 1:1 by learning about my coaching: https://simpleandeasynutrition.com/apply.html Website: https://www.thebariatriccollective.com.au/ Instagram: @thebariatriccollective Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thebariatriccollective Email: suraya@thebariatriccollective.com.au Free Downloads: Causes of Weight Regain Graphic Download a Free Three Day Meal Plan with Recipes DISCLAIMER The advice provided in the podcast is general in nature and is not intended to constitute or substitute for dietetics, nutrition, professional or medical advice.

GLP-1 Medications are arguably one of the most innovative weight loss drugs of our time. In tandem with bariatric surgery, they can be a fantastic combination to help you reach the goals you are aiming for. However, we run the risk of it being another diet or a 'quick fix' if we are not concerned with what we are actually eating whilst on these medications. You need to realise that these medications are long term, possibly lifelong medications, that require enough protein, calcium, fibre and fluids for you to feel and keep your best. Especially in regard to muscle, bone and overall metabolic health. If you need guidance on what to eat whilst on GLP1 Medications or after weight loss surgery.
