Say No to Slider Foods After Bariatric Surgery!

Slider foods might seem tempting but can hinder your progress after weight loss surgery.

What are slider foods? These sneaky culprits are high in sugar and carbohydrates, providing little to no nutritional value. Think potato chips, pretzels, ice cream, and sugary drinks. 🍟🍦🥤

🙅‍♀️ Why should you avoid them? Slider foods lack satiety, meaning you can consume large quantities without feeling full. This can sabotage your weight loss goals.

➡️ Swipe across for tips on how to avoid slider foods.

Share your experience with us! How did you avoid slider foods and embrace a healthier lifestyle? Comment below!

Mindfulness is taking the time to tune into our thoughts and feelings, preferably without judgement.

It allows us to notice and appreciate even the simplest of pleasures;
☀️ A bright sunny day
🚦 Green lights on our commute
✅ An ordinary task done well
🥱 Clean sheets and a warm bed on a cold night…

Practising mindfulness enhances our clarity, our sense of purpose, our resilience, and our general well-being; even in spite of challenges. Practising mindfulness opens our hearts to feeling more gratitude and giving more grace. 💫💕

As the weather cools and we crave heartwarming food, we are sharing 3 mostly veggie soup recipes that we love. 🥣 For our WLS patients, they’re great freezer foods for those pre or post op phases. They also make a good starter or a light lunch.

Hope to see you here for our second soup recipe next Wednesday, and here’s to your Mindful May!🧘‍♀️

Life after bariatric surgery is a journey of ups and downs. Some days you feel like you're on top of the world, full of confidence and ready to conquer anything. On other days, you might feel like you're not doing enough, but it's important to remember that progress is not always linear. Celebrate the good days and be kind to yourself on the tough ones. Keep pushing forward, and remember that every day is a step towards a healthier, happier you.

Before weight loss surgery, individuals with obesity may have difficulty performing everyday activities such as walking, climbing stairs, and even standing for long periods of time. The excess weight places a significant amount of stress on the joints, making movement painful and difficult.

The improved mobility that comes with weight loss can have a significant impact on a person's quality of life. You may be able to participate in activities that you were previously unable to do, such as hiking, dancing, or playing sports. You may also be able to perform daily tasks more easily, such as carrying groceries or playing with your children.

A total of 18,180 Gastric sleeves were performed between July 2021 -June 2022.

So let's break the stigma around bariatric surgery and celebrate the brave individuals who choose to take control of their health and transform their lives! No shame, only support and encouragement on their journey to a healthier, happier life.

Being the "real you" means embracing one's unique qualities and individuality. It means expressing oneself honestly, without fear of judgment or rejection. This requires self-awareness, self-acceptance, and the courage to be vulnerable.

However, being true to oneself is not always easy. It requires breaking free from the expectations of others and having the confidence to stand up for what one believes in.

Despite these challenges, being true to oneself is essential for personal growth and fulfilment. Ultimately, by being the real you for you, you can create a life that is truly your own.
