Clean the fridge, plan some meals, revisit habits, and have fun doing it!

If you’ve been feeling off track after bariatric surgery—whether it’s been a few months or a few years—you’re not alone. We all have moments where we need to hit the refresh button and feel back on track!

Fall is one of the best times of year to reset your routine, get back to meal planning, and rebuild those post-op habits that help you feel your best. That’s why we’re kicking off a special 6-week series inside our Bariatric Food Coach Premier Access Membership called:

Whether you’ve had a gastric sleeve, bypass, or you’re using GLP-1 medications, this challenge is designed to help you:

What to Expect in the 6 Week Challenge

Each day we’ll focus on one of what I call the “Five Bariatric Pillars.” I will post a daily video and a prompt to discuss in the community about water, meal planning and food quality, movement, sleep and vitamins.

This is a great way to get us started with a reflection on our health foundation before moving ahead.

Time to ditch the leftovers from Summer chaos living (just me?) We’ll clear out trigger foods and get organized for the Fall. Members share before anda fter photos and favorite go-to staples!

We’ll walk through planning and prepping bariatric friendly meals togehter. You’ll get access to prinatble tools, weeky menus and inspiration to stay on track.

Members post their menus and recipes to ideas to help you get out of your rut!

Celebrate 10 years of Bariatric Food Coach with this exclusive member eBook, packed with community-voted recipes and resources.

We’ve made some serious progress with cleaned-out kitchens and meal planning! Now we take it a up a notch and reflect on other key habits like speed of eating or food journaling. We’ll reflect on which ones would help you most to build up next.

Why Members love our reset activities

When we survey our members, the results are often consistent: anything with a refresh or back on track focus is really helpful for members. We often need group support to get back to consistent, healthy habits!

Because it’s not about perfection. It’s about progress.
Because when you’re in a bariatric support group that gets it, everything feels more doable. You get ideas from others, or you find what might work for YOU.


And because going “back to school” isn’t just for kids!

Plus: prizes for active members!

Every time you comment, post, or participate, you earn an entry to win prizes (like bariatric-friendly tools, books, and more). Engaging is simple—and fun!
