Celebrating 10 Years of Bariatric Food Coach: Real Support After Bariatric Surgery
Ten years ago, I had no idea this would work
It was July 6th, 2015- I launched a tiny membership site with a few bariatric recipes and printable dinner menus. I had a simple dream:
To support bariatric patients not just at follow-up appointments—but in their day-to-day lives.
At the time, no one was building membership communities just for post-op life.
I didn’t have a team or a plan—just a deep belief that food peace, protein-packed meals, and a supportive space could make all the difference.
And somehow… here we are.
Premier Access to Bariatric Food Coach Just Turned TEN!
To celebrate, I’ve opened the doors at a price that feels like coming home:
$15/month for new members all birthday season long.
There’s no urgency or pressure here.
This isn’t a flash sale.
This is a celebration I’m savoring.
Just like I encourage my members to reflect on their own journeys (even if they wish they’d gone further or done more), I’m sitting in what has been done—and I’m proud of it.
And now, you’re invited.

^The user Dashboard in 2015. We have many members who have been with us since these early days and might remember this!
A nod to 2015…and our first 50.
That year, we opened to “the first 50” and filled those spots in less than 24 hours.
Back then, I kept it small because I didn’t know what might break.
Now? We’ve hosted thousands of post-ops, and honestly… things still break sometimes.
But we figure it out. We keep going. That’s part of the journey.
If you’re a current member paying more than $15/month, just send me a message—I’m happy to honor the birthday pricing.
Why this still matters in 2025
Because especially as the internet gets louder, more aggressive, and more expensive…
I’m doing my part to keep this little corner of the web steady, positive, and affordable.
This is how Bariatric Food Coach began—and it’s what I still believe:
✔️ Support matters.
✔️ Encouragement matters.
✔️ Real talk matters.
Here’s what you’ll find inside Premier Access:
600+ bariatric recipes (and new ones on the way!)
Meal plans, printable guides, eBooks, a custom menu builder
10 video courses on hunger, emotional eating, and “After the Honeymoon”
A private community with live calls, monthly challenges, and no judgment
A bonus eBook: Best of Bariatric Food Coach 2015–2025 (coming in August!)
Over the years, I’ve walked with members through regain, restarts, wins, losses, medications, revisions, and beautiful comebacks.
They’ve done hard things with softness.
They’ve stayed in it—even when it wasn’t perfect. (It never is.)
We’ve got a seat saved for you.
No pressure. No noise. Just the kind of support that sticks.
With gratitude,
Steph Wagner, MS RDN
Your Bariatric Food Coach
