Bariatric surgery decreases hunger for some after surgery, but it’s not a guarantee. While the symptoms of hunger can be surprising, they are there to bring your attention to your fuel tank running low.
Using the hunger/fullness scale can be a helpful tool to assess your hunger and fullness level before, during and after eating. Going into meals too hungry can lead to difficulty regulating your pace and portions which may end in discomfort.
✨ Aim for the sweet spot: 4 before eating and 7 after eating.
For hunger that is unmanageable, meet with your dietitian, doctor or surgery team to discuss treatment options.

Many of my bariatric babes have met their goals of having healthy pregnancies after bariatric surgery!
✨ Here are five ways to support a healthy pregnancy after surgery:
1. Wait 18 months after bariatric surgery before trying to conceive to allow your weight and metabolic changes to stabilize. Weight stability is the first and best marker before attempting to conceive to ensure a healthy pregnancy.
2. Micronutrient needs may change after pregnancy so it is key to speak with your bariatric dietitian about adjustments to your vitamin and mineral supplement regimen. Consider a bariatric specific prenatal multivitamin that meets your post surgery needs and supports your growing munchkin. 💊
3. DHA and EPA are essential fats that support your growing baby’s brain and vision. Instead of taking another pill, try including 3 ounces of fish or seafood two times per week to meet your protein AND DHA/EPA goals. 🐟
4. Did you know water helps nutrients circulate in the body? Did you know that the blood in your body increases 50% when pregnant? All of this is supported by good old H20. Drinking enough fluids will not only keep you hydrated but support the transport nutrients to your baby. 💦
5. Nutrition labs should be monitored more frequently during pregnancy. Speak with your bariatric team about how often to have your micronutrient and mineral levels checked. It is generally recommended to monitor every 3 months. 🩸

Bariatric surgery is not just weight loss surgery - it’s digestive surgery.
That tiny universe inside your gut called the microbiome has more control than we know over our physical and mental health. However, digestive health nutrition for bariatric surgery is often muffled by the noise of weight loss, protein intake and vitamins. All V important, but…
✨ Your body cannot thrive after bariatric surgery if the gut is not nourished. ✨
Nourish it well with these 5 tips
✨ Fiber every meal - Never feel full but hitting your protein goal? Prebiotic fiber feeds good bacteria in the gut and keeps you fuller longer. Fiber is the ultimate “detoxifier” as it binds toxins to stool and keeps you regular💩 Aim for ~25 grams daily.
✨ Add ferments - Fermented food contains good bacteria “probiotics” that are associated with better digestion, stronger immunity and even increased weight loss. Sip on miso soup between meals, replace meat protein with tempeh, have Greek yogurt or kefir at breakfast or mix kimchi or sauerkraut with your favorite protein!
✨ Limit artificial sweeteners - sugar alcohols can cause uncomfortable gas and bloating and some types of artificial sweeteners can lead to changes in gut bacteria. Make ½ of fluid intake plain ol’ H2O 💦
✨ Stress management - Break the nervous stomach cycle by finding ways to destress. Try guided meditation, exercising, brewing tea, reading, listening to a podcast, calling a loved one, petting a furry friend or sitting in the sunshine to rest and digest.
