About the 10-Day Bariatric Healthy Habit Refresh

Now and again, we all need to hit the refresh button on bariatric healthy habits. I often highlight this series at the start of a new year, but sometimes you need a mid-year refresh!

One key post-op habit a day for ten days. These habits are reported by patients who have lost 80% of their excess body weight and maintained their weight loss for 5 or more years. (I’m not all about just body weight, really, I’m all about body composition and STRENGTH! But the healthy habits reign true.)

Some of these habits may come easily to you, and you’ll feel encouraged that you have already established good habits!

Other habits will be more challenging. Stick with me for the WHY behind the habits and tips on how to improve them. It’s always helpful to connect the dots on why the habit can impact your hunger, cravings, energy, sleep, and other metabolic processes.

These are the post-op habits that the most successful patients report sticking with. “Success” is a term used in research studies for patients who have lost a certain percentage of body weight. Although I believe success looks very different for each person!
